I am on “salad mode” these days!
Those salads that are packed with proteins, carbs & veggies! Just one bowl & my lunch is ready. I have tested tons of salad recipes the past few weeks & will be bombarding you with every salad you can imagine.

CHICKEN FILLET WITH HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE
It’s been a month & half since I last blogged; it feels like ages & I extremely miss my kitchen but it was a much needed vacation :)
The good news is I am back with so many new recipes, tips & tricks.
We are all getting ready for school, our winter routines & busy schedules. Yet, no compromise on good food that gathers the whole family together.
Easy recipes prepared in no time has always been my specialty :) This dish fits all the criteria! Grilled chicken gets smothered in a sweet & tangy honey mustard sauce!
Extremely delicious & Extremely easy!
LIGHT BECHAMEL SAUCE
The Holy month of Ramadan is 2 weeks from now & I can’t wait for my favorite 30 days to start :) The month of unbelievable spirituals, gatherings & food!
Unlucky me, I am one of those people who finishes Ramadan with 3-4 extra kilos on my waist line. I don’t know whether it’s the fasting or the amazing gatherings that make my appetite go crazy or the delicious food that makes me think of nothing but food!
But lately, I have been making some changes that proved to be working! For me, Ramadan is not the month of healthy food; I eat, I indulge & never deprive myself but with 3 new rules:
BAKED POTATO WEDGES WITH LIGHT RANCH DRESSING
If you have been following my blog recently, you would notice a slight shift in my cooking approach. It’s not that I am going healthy as you will never find words like “gluten free” & “vegan” on my blog but I am trying to find lighter versions of the food I love!
This doesn’t mean that you won’t find chocolate-y & creamy recipes here but I started to believe that a “balance” is always required to maintain a healthy diet & a decent jeans size :)

VEGGIE LOADED CLASSICAL BOLOGNESE SAUCE
Believe it or not, bolognese sauce is one of the most difficult pasta sauce I have ever tried to cook. As basic as it may sound, it took me years to find the perfect recipe.
After over 10 total failures, I gave up & for the past year I never cooked bolognese sauce at home. It always came out very watery & very meat-y; you could feel the chunks of minced meat in your mouth & the sauce never stuck to the pasta! NEVER!!
Three months ago; I felt really offended! Seriously?!! Bolognese sauce!! One of the most basic pasta sauces ever!! I challenged myself & my research trip started :)
CRISPY OVEN BAKED CHICKEN FILLET
I don’t know where or how to start as this recipe goes way way back! I have been working on this recipe for almost a year now, even before I started thinking about my blog! I simply love fried food & can’t deny that it is a staple in our house so I had to find a lighter/healthier alternative!
I have tested this recipe over & over; tried every single breading you can imagine; flour, corn flour, panko, nuts, corn flakes, tortillas, pretzels … etc but nothing worked & the result was always the same:
- Either the chicken gets too dry until the crust takes a nice color & crunch or
- The chicken is cooked perfectly & the crust is light in color + not crispy
I just couldn’t accept eating any of the above options & compared to fried chicken, they sucked big time!
CHICKEN WITH MUSHROOM & COCONUT BROWN SAUCE
I fed my kids, put their favorite cartoon on! Made myself a cup of coffee to work on this post peacefully! Let’s say that this is how I pictured the whole situation yaaaah!
Reality: I am holding my coffee with one hand; typing with the other while my kids are running everywhere around me!
Let me try to wrap this post before I get attacked by these 2 little monkeys!
Another chicken dish on the blog! But as you know I never compromise on it being easy, quick & extremely delicious; perfect for your tight busy weekdays & also elegant for any dinner hosting.

SWEET & SOUR CHICKEN
I don’t think I know anybody who doesn’t love Chinese Food! I remember growing up with Peking Restaurant being a phenomenal outing every weekend to indulge on all those Chinese dishes.
What I also discovered is that cooking Chinese food is as enjoyable as eating it. Easy & quick dishes that are packed with veggies YET very delicious. Perfect for our busy lifestyles.
