I don’t remember what happened last week. Days, weeks, months all seem to mold together into one blur. Can you even imagine we’ve been in lockdown for close to half a year now?

Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries with Sugar-Free Ketchup
Its hard to even sleep anymore. Sunlight creeps through my binds illuminating the room and I’m up. There’s something so exciting to be able to see a blue sky, green leaves on the trees and hear birds chirping. Summer has its perks. The weather is warm enough to go on walks. I love to feel…
The BEST Oil-Free Hummus
9am and I hear a little knock on the door. Raena (my little sister) pops her head in, “Bye, see ya tonight”. I turned around, smiling and jokingly replied, “What are you serious?” Although we live under the same roof, we hardly spend much time together. Sometimes I don’t see her all day, sometimes all…

Healthy Cashew Shrimp (Oil Free)
I recently found a new way to make my frozen shrimp taste better! If you marinade shrimp in a little pinch of sugar and water it will restore the shrimp to its original plumpness and juiciness. Strange science isn’t it?

Peanut Butter Chickpea Bars (Vegan)
(Variation 1: Melted chocolate spread on top) I walked towards the nut butter aisle. Of course I would know where it is. My eyes immediately scanned the rows: almond butter (absolutely divine), peanut butter (my comfort food), cashew butter, tahini….my hand instinctively went forward to turn the jar to the labels. I only like unsalted,…
