Time to turn up the heat. It’s getting chilli ou Time to turn up the heat. It’s getting chilli out!🔥🔥🔥⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Have you tried my easy Chinese chilli oil yet? And if not, what are you waiting for?😛 I guarantee it will turn up the heat without affecting your heating bills this season. 😂⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ This post is part of #thespiceitupcrew collab hosted by @asoulfulkitchen and @handwritten.recipes ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #whole30recipes #paleolifestyle #paleofood #iamwhole30 #lifeafterwhole30 #whole30compliant #dairyfreerecipes #grainfreerecipes #fbcigers #cleaneating #shareyourtable #theundiet #thewayweeat #feedfeedglutenfree #tastemademedoit #eatsharerepeat #eatclean #sugarfree #mississaugafoodie #tastethesix #torontofoodblog #kitchn #thenewhealthy #TOHfoodie⁣ #healthyfood #realsimple #foodtographyschool
Do you prefer your curries with naan or rice?⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Decided to try @myheartbeets simple 3 ingredient paleo naan to go with our Whole30 butter chicken last week. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ I got to say it is not bad. I mean it’s not naan. It’s more like a light and chewy roti. But as a vessel to get the butter chicken from plate into your mouth. It does very well and tastes pretty darn good!👌🏽⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ It’s a really great gluten-free option for a flat bread substitute. Will be making this again for sure!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Ingredients:⁣ 1 cup full fat coconut milk (from a can)⁣ 1/2 cup almond flour⁣ 1/2 cup tapioca flour (or arrowroot)⁣ 1 tsp salt ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Mix all the above together till smooth. Pour about 1/4 cup into a heated pan with a splash of oil. Cook till no longer wet on top (about 2-3 mins on medium- don’t rush it!). Flip and cook till golden brown on the bottom. Sprinkle with sesame seeds or garlic butter. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Enjoy!😉⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #whole30recipes #paleo #paleolifestyle #paleofood #iamwhole30 #whole30compliant #dairyfreerecipes #grainfreerecipes #imsomartha #fbcigers #cleaneating #theundiet #thewayweeat #feedfeedglutenfree #tastemademedoit #eatsharerepeat #sugarfree #mississaugafoodie #tastethesix #torontofoodblog #kitchn #thenewhealthy #TOHfoodie #spiceupyourlife #desifood #indianrecipes #pakistanifood #desifoodie #indianfood_lovers
You know when you try to make a ‘healthy’ vers You know when you try to make a ‘healthy’ version of something and it sucks? Well this is NOT one of those recipes. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ This Whole30 Butter Chicken is the bomb. It has all the creamy spice infused flavour of the regular stuff but without any of the cream or butter!🙌🏽⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ I guess it’s butter chicken without the butter. So ... just chicken🤷🏽‍♀️😂⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Damn delicious chicken!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ The secret is using coconut yogurt to marinate the chicken. And use coconut milk for the butter chicken sauce. Make sure you let the coconut milk cook down for a while so the ‘coconut’ taste can mellow out and the spices are given a chance to shine! ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ J even said: this tastes like it’s real! If that is not a glowing review I don’t know what is! 😛⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Full recipe is on the blog. Link is in my bio! ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #whole30recipes #paleo #paleolifestyle #paleofood #iamwhole30 #whole30compliant #dairyfreerecipes #grainfreerecipes #imsomartha #fbcigers #cleaneating #theundiet #thewayweeat #feedfeedglutenfree #tastemademedoit #eatsharerepeat #sugarfree #mississaugafoodie #tastethesix #torontofoodblog #kitchn #thenewhealthy #TOHfoodie #spiceupyourlife #desifood #indianrecipes #pakistanifood #desifoodie #indianfood_lovers
Week 2 of my #septemberwhole30 meal plan is up in Week 2 of my #septemberwhole30 meal plan is up in my stories! We are even going to attempt to eat out at some point!😬⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ This week I thought I would share a few of my fave Whole30 and paleo food bloggers and resources that help keep me motivated. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ➡️ I love discovering new bloggers on the @whole30recipes page. There’s always great meal-spiration on there. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ➡️ Everything @iheartumami.ny makes is so delicious (and she even has a new meal planning subscription). ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ➡️ @thedefineddish satisfies all my texmex cravings. And I secretly wish to be on her #passthedish series - one day maybe!😁)⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ➡️ @realplans is a great meal planning and grocery list app. I enjoyed using it when I was Whole30-ing for the first time. It really helps take the work out of meal planning.⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ➡️ @naturamarketca carries a whole selection of Whole30 approved items. I love seeing what new things they have and giving it a try! Im hoping they get the new Whole30 sauces @melissau just released in the US! (Ps. If you use the link in my bio I get a small commission - and I’ll love you for it! 😘)⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ ➡️ @primalkitchenfoods sauces and dressings save my life sometimes. I love making my own dressings. But sometimes I just don’t want to put in the effort. I always have a bottle or two in the fridge for salad dressing emergencies.😉⁣ What’s your motivation to keep healthy? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #whole30recipes #paleo #paleolifestyle #paleofood #iamwhole30 #whole30compliant #dairyfreerecipes #grainfreerecipes #imsomartha #fbcigers #cleaneating #shareyourtable #theundiet #thewayweeat #tastemademedoit #eatsharerepeat #eatclean #sugarfree #mississaugafoodie #tastethesix #torontofoodblog #kitchn #thenewhealthy #TOHfoodie⁣ #healthyfood #realsimple #foodtographyschool
Put on cute pants and shoes so decided to take a p Put on cute pants and shoes so decided to take a pic in one of those cool fashion blogger half crouching poses...⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ But I think it just looks like I’m about to go to the bathroom in a third world county. 🤦🏽‍♀️ I call it ‘lota chic’ (my desi friends will know what I mean 😉). Also my quads are sore now from all the crouching. Who needs to workout just pose for the camera?! 😂⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Also prob should have moved J’s towel hanging on the back of the door out of the frame. 😂 ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Happy Friday friends! There’s a few new faces around here! Welcome to my little delicious corner of the internet 😘 Dont worry. I mostly stick to food blogging on here. If you leave here with a smile and a little bit hungry then my job is done! 😛⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Tell me what your favourite food is down below. For me it has to be anything Asian!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #fashionfridays #fallstyle #thatshot #desistyle #funny #notafashionblogger #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #health #healthychoices #motivation #noexcuses #instagood #cleaneating #sugarfree #fbcigers #rueeats #f52grams #cleaneating #foodsforthought #eatingfortheinsta #eatclean #mississaugafoodie #tastethesix #yyzfoodie #torontofoodblog #thenewhealthy #healthyfood #realsimple
This is the difference between J and I:⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Both of us decided to #septemberwhole30 together. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Both of us love the benefits we feel both mentally and physically by cleaning up our diet. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 💁🏽‍♀️Me: “Oh man that’s some delicious creamy #dairyfree cheeze sauce on roasted cauliflower - it’s like healthy cauli mac n cheeze! (recipe is on the blog 😉)⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 💁🏽J: “I miss real macaroni and real cheese!” 😢⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 🤦🏽‍♀️⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ I focus on all the yummy foods we can have and enjoy getting creative with our meals. And he is so focused on the things the ‘can’t’ have he is missing out on enjoying what he does have in front of him. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ I love me a real gluten and dairy filled Mac n’ cheese too. But seriously don’t bring me down when I’m trying to be healthy and do something good for me. You know?! (I may or may not have yelled at him for this 🙈). Honestly! My will power is strong but I can only handle so much pessimism you know?! 🙄⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ I’m sure this is a bigger life lesson about how we both look at challenges in life. Right now I’m just annoyed by his lack of optimism and constant whining about wanting gluten and sugar😝⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Which camp are you in? Do you focus on the good or get dragged down by the bad?⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #whole30recipes #paleolifestyle #paleofood #iamwhole30 #lifeafterwhole30 #whole30compliant #grainfreerecipes #imsomartha #fbcigers #cleaneating #shareyourtable #theundiet #thewayweeat #feedfeedglutenfree #tastemademedoit #eatsharerepeat #eatclean #sugarfree #mississaugafoodie #tastethesix #torontofoodblog #kitchn #thenewhealthy #TOHfoodie⁣ #healthyfood #realsimple #foodtographyschool
Here we go! Starting our #septemberwhole30 tomorr Here we go! Starting our #septemberwhole30 tomorrow! 😬😬😬⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Pantry and fridge have been cleared out of all temptations!🙈⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ I’ve said my good byes to gluten, dairy and lentils (at least for the next few weeks). 👋🏽😉⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ And I’ve meal prepped up a storm to have quick lunch and dinner options ready for us during the week. 🙌🏽⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ As requested, the whole meal plan and prep list is up on stories (and will be saved as a highlight) if you want to see what we are planning on eating this week. It’s a mix of some of my fave recipes from the blog and my upcoming ebook, and some new recipes I want to try from other bloggers! It’s what helps to keep me motivated! 😛⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ The goal this time around is to really cut back on my sugar cravings (I’m looking at you bubble tea!👀🙅🏽‍♀️). And get back in the habit of eating more veggies and less gluten/grains with every meal. Quarantine life has really got to me so I’m looking forward to the reset! It is supposed to be for 30⁣ Days but at the moment I’m thinking it will be a mini 14-day reset. But we will see how we feel after 14 days then decide if we want to keep going. 😬 Either way, I am all in for this week! Let’s do this!🙌🏽😁⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Do you feel like you have indulged a bit too much this summer? 🥐🧀🥞🍦🧁🍪What do you do to get back on track?⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #whole30recipes #paleo #paleolifestyle #paleofood #iamwhole30 #lifeafterwhole30 #whole30compliant #dairyfreerecipes #grainfreerecipes #imsomartha #fbcigers #cleaneating #shareyourtable #theundiet #thewayweeat #feedfeedglutenfree #tastemademedoit #eatsharerepeat #eatclean #sugarfree #mississaugafoodie #tastethesix #torontofoodblog #kitchn #thenewhealthy #TOHfoodie #healthyfood #realsimple
Sindhi potatoes!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Sindhi potatoes!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Cause potatoes are never a bad idea. And especially when they are from my Sindhi roots 😘⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ The magic happens in the seasoning mix flavoured with amchoor - dried mango powder. Something magical happens to potatoes when you add the tangy sweet flavour of amchoor to them. I could eat these every day! (I’m pretty sure I lived off these for my entire childhood) 😍⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Have you tried my Sindhi potatoes yet? What are you waiting for?!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ 1-2 large potatoes⁣ 2-3 tbsp oil⁣ 1 1/2 tsp amchoor⁣ 1/4 tsp cumin⁣ 1/2 tsp salt⁣ 1/2 tsp red chilli⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Cut potatoes into 1/2 inch thick rounds. Shallow fry in the oil in a large frying pan on medium low heat. Cover and let cook till golden brown on one side (5mins). Uncover, flip and cook till tender and golden brown on the other side (about 3-4 mins). Mix the remaining ingredients together in a separate bowl. Once potatoes are done sprinkle the seasoning over top and serve!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ —-⁣ This post is part of the #justsimplepotatoes collab hosted by the lovely @marikacucuzzaphotography and @anna_janecka ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #whole30recipes #paleo #paleolifestyle #paleofood #iamwhole30 #lifeafterwhole30 #whole30compliant #dairyfreerecipes #imsomartha #fbcigers #cleaneating #shareyourtable #theundiet #feedfeedglutenfree #tastemademedoit #eatsharerepeat #mississaugafoodie #tastethesix #torontofoodblog #kitchn #thenewhealthy #TOHfoodie #desifood #pakistanifood #indianrecipe⁣ #healthyfood #realsimple
