Instagram post 2192474644349915399_2502561 Want to know the secret to a perfect melt in your mouth grilled steak? ⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
I got you. ⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
1️⃣ Get the right cut. I recommend flank steak. It’s an inexpensive cut. But when marinated and cooked this way, it falls apart in your mouth! 🤤⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
2️⃣ Tenderize the meat. I like pineapple juice - the bromaline enzyme in pineapple helps to tenderize the meat. It’s best to let it do it’s thing for at least 12 hours. ⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
3️⃣ Rest & cut against the grain - after grilling/cooking make sure you let it rest to allow the juices to settle down. It will keep the steak moist. And make sure to cut against the grain for maximal tenderness.⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
The best steak marinade ingredients:⁣
(For about 4-6 servings or 3 lbs of meat -about the size of 1 flank steak)⁣
1/3 cup lime juice⁣
1/4 cup pineapple juice (fresh or canned)⁣
2 tbsp coconut aminos (or soya sauce)⁣
3 tbsp olive oil⁣
2 tbsp crushed garlic⁣
2 tsp cumin powder⁣
2 tsp chilli powder ⁣
1 tsp smoked paprika⁣
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes ⁣
1 tsp salt⁣
1 tsp pepper⁣
1/4 cup chopped cilantro⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Grab the full recipe and all my perfect steak tips on the blog. It’s also on YouTube. Cause I’m doing that now too 😛.⁣

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁣
Are you partaking in the craziness that is Black Friday today? I just posted my list of faves that are currently on sale over in the blog including my @naturamarketca and @welldotca faves. ⁣⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁣
I didn’t have much on my list so I’m not going crazy this year. Just stocking up on stuff I would buy anyways. ⁣⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁣
Ofcourse that doesn’t mean Im not super tempted by all the sales going on right now...online shopping is a dangerous thing!💸💸💸⁣⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣⁣
J wants to brave the mall this weekend so he can buy a few things in person. Are we totally insane to even try to go to the mall?! 🤪⁣⁣
⁣
Happy Shopping!⁣

Instagram post 2187404377709840137_2502561 Happy thanksgiving to my American friends. Or as us Canadians like to call it - Thursday. 🇨🇦⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Here’s a recipe that rivals the turkey day meal in my book - Moms biryani ♥️⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
For those that have not had the pleasure of trying my mom’s biryani I am sorry. Honestly, I wish you could all have a taste. No store bought biryani can compare to the homemade stuff. There’s no ready-made-preservative-filled-seasoning-mixes here. Just simple clean ingredients, a bit of time & a whole lot a mom’s love♥️⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
There are probably as many different biryani recipes as there are cooks that make it. But the version I grew up eating is this one (and it’s the best- I’m not biased at all 😝).⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
It’s Sindhi biryani - because we Sindhi, duh (from the province of Sindh in Pakistan) - has very simple ingredients. But the flavour is 😘😘😘⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
A few weeks ago I went over to mom’s place and set up my camera to capture all her secrets to making the perfect Sindhi biryani - including the type of basmati rice (yes there’s more than one) and best techniques to make it 👌🏽⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
I also put it all on YouTube cause y’all told me you wanted to see my videos over there. Please click over and show me some love over there k? And let me know what you think? (Also pls ignore my first and only other YouTube vid - a 10 yr old vid of how i trained my cat to use the human toilet. Which he still does 😹. So I’m pretty proud of that one😂)⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Link to the vid (both biryani and cat) & full recipe are in the bio. ⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
And if you have any biryani secrets do tell! I’d love to learn everyone’s tips and tricks to make my biryani even better! 😁⁣

Instagram post 2186678219410127520_2502561 I hear there might be a big important meal happening in some households tomorrow night.... Need a last minute side dish idea? Try something with a desi twist... Sindhi potatoes topped with tangy masala spice mix. ⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Recipe is on the blog #linkinprofile or you can always just shoot me a dm I’m always happy to send you the recipe directly - Just like google except with more attitude 😉⁣

Instagram post 2184488573905169107_2502561 Wondering what the best Black Friday deals for tech stuff are? ⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
J has been going on and on about it all week, so I made him put it all into a blog post so now you all can hear all about it, and I can (hopefully) get a break from hearing about it. 😝⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Who am I kidding?! Being married to tech guy means we live and breathe tech at home. I can’t complain. He enables my laziness by automating everything at home. ‘OK google turn off the lights’ is now my favourite phrase. 😛⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Who else has been waiting for Black Friday to go shopping?!⁣ What’s on your list?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Ps. If you have a google home we discovered this really fun trick to record bedtime stories for kids in your own voice (I recorded a few for my niece and nephew)! I shared all about it on stories last night. Go check it out before it’s gone!👀 ⁣

Instagram post 2182347363484876045_2502561 Copy Cat GF DF KFC (wow that’s a lot of acronyms). ⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
I mean why bthr to spl out whole wrds when u can get it done with less thn half the ltrs? Vowels are overrated. Like I’m a totally wasting my time writing this whole sentence out right now. 🙄😝⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Neewayz (also big fan of making up words over here), after I made this Copycat KFC, J tried it and said: “I actually don’t like KFC that much. I prefer Popeyes” 🤦🏽‍♀️⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
J’s misguided preferences aside, these taste so close to the secret 11 herbs and spices that make KFC so addictive. Obviously you can make this gluten full by using regular flour instead of the arrowroot flour to coat the chicken, but it was a nice to have a gluten free option. Either way the flavour is all there!⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Want to know what the secret herbs and spices are? Click the link in my profile for the recipe. ⁣

Are you team Popeyes or team KFC?⁣

Instagram post 2177270208086357193_2502561 Been practicing my pour shots. (Special thanks to J for being my pour model).😛⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Also I highly recommend pouring this #dairyfree cheez sauce over roasted cauliflower, pasta, or serve as a dip with veggies or nachos. ⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
It’s like cheez whiz got a real⁣
food makeover - and decided to go dairy free!⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
The secret is using cashews for the creamy factor and and nutritional yeast for the cheesy flavour. Nooch is not like actual yeast. It’s in the fungi family (like mushrooms) but has this intense cheesy flavour that makes a great cheese substitute. ⁣

Instagram post 2172179344200611303_2502561 Icymi dairy and my tummy are no longer friends. 😢 So I’m on a quest to reduce my dairy consumption and not miss all the fun things in life. ⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Like this dairy free Mac n’ cheez. It is a variation on @detoxinista ‘s vegan Mac n cheez with the seasonally appropriate addition of butternut squash! It gives the sauce this vibrant orange colour (like the boxed stuff) and ups the nutritional profile and tastes so creamy.⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
Full recipe is on the blog. ⁣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣
It’s comfort food without the guilt or the tummy aches! 😝 ya feel me?⁣
