Sarcasm is my love language, also food.
Simple real food - and sometimes dessert🧁
The good stuff👇🏽
Banana Bread Brownie - with a luscious brown butte Banana Bread Brownie - with a luscious brown butter glaze⁣🤤 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Oh boy. Two dessert recipes in a row. It’s like I’m trying to sabotage all your New Years healthy eating resolutions on purpose! 😝⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Technically this is a vegetarian recipe. In the spirit of #eatmoreplants this one has banana in it. And very little sugar. At least in the cake part...⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ But I do insist on slathering that addictive brown butter glaze on it every time - sooooo I guess I can’t call it ‘healthy’. 🤷🏽‍♀️⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ This is my go to recipe to get rid of over ripe bananas. I use very little sugar in the batter to allow the bananas to be the sweetener for this cake. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ But then, I add this fancy sounding (but super simple) brown butter glaze that has a sweet almost nutty flavour from the browned butter that it makes your tastebuds sing. And most def satisfies that sweet tooth. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ So yeh. You can be healthy and just make the banana bread brownies as is. But why would you?⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Full recipe is on the blog or peep my stories under ‘dessert’ for the play by play. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ What’s your go to use of over ripe bananas? Let me know 👇🏽⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #vegetarian #instafood #delicious #dessertrecipe #f52meatless #foodporn #sharefood #homemade #delicious #eating #foodpic #foodpics #hungry #foodgasm #foodsforthought #forkyeah #eatstherainbow #feedfeed #kitchn #yyzfoodie #mississaugafoodie #torontofoodblog #surlatable #foodphotography #foodtographyschool #tastemademedoit
Today’s recipe is not mine. It belongs to @karac Today’s recipe is not mine. It belongs to @karachifoodiegirl who made a recipe from another insta foodie today and my recipe for pistachio rose cake was made by yet another (what up @bakedbyammna 😘) all of this insta foodieness is hosted by @leisurefanclub (thank you!) and none of us live in the same continent! How crazy is that?!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ We are all part of the #notmyrecipecollab happening right now so go check it out, give these foodies some love and get inspired. ♥️⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ This creme brûlée was so friggin good. 🙌🏽 You just need 5 ingredients: cream, sugar, egg yolks, milk and vanilla essence. And obvi you must have one of those handy dandy kitchen blow torches lying around...what? you’re not a crazy kitchen gadget collector like me? No worries, an oven on broil will do the trick.⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Swipe for my play by play (or check out @karachifoodiegirl story highlights to watch her make it):⁣ ➡️warm 1 cup heavy cream till just heated through and set aside to cool. ⁣ ➡️whisk 3 egg yolks with 1/4 cup sugar till light and frothy. ⁣ ➡️pour in 1/4 cup milk and continue to whisk till frothy. ⁣ ➡️slowly pour in the warmed cream (not too hot or the egg will scramble!) and continue to whisk. ⁣ ➡️pour into 4 ramekins or a small dish and bake in a 350F preheated oven in a water bath for 45-50 mins (till they are firm in the centre).⁣ ➡️allow to cool 10 mins on the counter. Then transfer to the fridge. Cool at least 3hrs to overnight. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Now the magic - To serve, sprinkle with half a tsp sugar over top and blow torch it till the sugar caramelizes and starts to bubble (or oven top rack under the broiler will also do the trick!)⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Swipe to the end to hear that crack-crack-crack...isn’t that the best part?⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Creme brûlée is prob one of my fave desserts. This one was perfect! J ate 2 whole servings the day I made them. And he doesn’t tolerate dairy too well - So you know it must have been worth it!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ I kinda feel like making a dairy free version now. What do you think? Should I try it?
🍆Eggplant Raita🍆 - would you eat this as a s 🍆Eggplant Raita🍆 - would you eat this as a side or as a main dish? ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Basically a desi version of savoury flavoured yogurt it’s awesome to put out the fire of a spicy meal (might I suggest my Sindhi biryani recipe?😉). But I actually love eating a bowl of eggplant raita as my meal. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Pan fry a sliced eggplant or two (I prefer the longer thinner variety - called Chinese eggplant in my grocery store - the ones on the right in the last pic➡️➡️) and add to some yogurt thinned out with milk or water and flavour with ground cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ The magic comes from adding a quick tardka (spiced oil) with cumin and curry leaves to really bring out the flavours. Swipe to hear the tardka working it’s magic➡️👀. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ You got your protein in the yogurt, fibre, vitamins and antioxidants in your eggplant and some good fats in your tardka. Raita can totally be a full meal deal!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ This one is for you my eggplant people. 🍆⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Full recipe is on the blog!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #vegetarian #plantbased #f52meatless #healthyfood #cleaneating #foodtographyschool #fbcigers #feedfeed #feedfeedvegetarian #eatstherainbow #kitchn #thenewhealthy #mississaugafoodie #torontofoodblog #whatsfordinner #fbcigers #recipeoftheday #imsomartha #beautifulcuisines #yyzfoodies #spiceupyourlife #desifood #indianrecipes #pakistanifood #desifoodie #indianfood_lovers #shareyourtable #tastemademedoit #eattheworld
Who’s doing the whole #veganuary2020 thing?⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ While I’m not completely dropping meat eating from my life anytime soon, I totally support anything that makes me #eatmoreplants .🌱⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Plants are nutrient rich, full of fibre and low calorie and (mostly) taste delicious. What’s not to love about eating more veggies?!⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ So this month I’m focusing on eating and sharing more recipes that are heavy on the veg. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Like this easy bhindi masala recipe up on the blog now! 😁 ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Ingredients:⁣ 1/2 lbs fresh okra (frozen will also work but I’d recommend deep frying instead of pan frying)⁣ 2 small tomato, diced⁣ 1 medium onion, diced⁣ 1 green chilli, diced⁣ 2-3 cloves garlic, minced⁣ 1/4 tsp cumin⁣ 1/2 tsp coriander⁣ 1/4 tsp red chilli powder⁣ Salt & pepper - to taste⁣ Oil - for frying ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Wash and cut the tops and tails off your okra. Give them a quick dice. Heat a large frying pan or wok with a few tbsp oil (enough to coat bottom of pan). Pan fry the okra in batches till golden brown. Careful not to over crowd the pan. This will get rid of the stickiness in the okra. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Set aside the fried okra on a paper towel lined plate. Once done, in the same pan add 2 tbsp oil (if needed) with garlic, green chilli and onions. Cook till the onions start to turn golden (about 5-10 mins). Add the spices. Cook for 1 min till fragrant the. Add tomatoes. Turn heat to medium low and Cover to cook for about 5 mins to soften the tomatoes. Add the cooked okra back in and give it all a stir. Taste and adjust for seasoning. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Serve warm with rice, roti or eat it straight up. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #whole30recipes #paleo #imsomartha #fbcigers #tastemademedoit #eatprettythings #cleaneating #shareyourtable #veganuary #vegan #homemade #theundiet #feedfeedglutenfree #recipeoftheday #eatclean #f52meatless #sugarfree #feedfeed #buzzfeast #mississaugafoodie #tastethesix #torontofoodblog #kitchn #thenewhealthy #TOHfoodie⁣ #realsimple #foodtographyschool
Happy Monday that’s actually Thursday. Just made Happy Monday that’s actually Thursday. Just made myself a big ole plate of pan fried Brussels sprouts cause I’m hitting this #veganuary2020 hard rn. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Got 15 mins and some Brussels sprouts? Start with a cold pan. Pour a few tbsp of olive oil in the bottom (enough to coat the bottom). Place sliced Brussels sprouts cut side down on the cold pan. Turn on the heat to medium high. Cover and cook for 5 mins. Uncover, give it a toss and cook the other side for 3-4 mins more till golden brown all over. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Sprinkle with salt, pepper and dressing of choice. I went with a quick honey mustard. Peep my stories for the play by play. 👀⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Brussels sprouts and I are having a moment right now. ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ What’s your fav veg to eat?⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #vegetarian #vegan #plantbased #foodiesofinstagram #f52meatless #eatmoreplants #whole30 #januarywhole30 #healthyfood #cleaneating #foodtographyschool #foodporn #fbcigers #sharefood #homemade #eating #feedfeed #feedfeedvegetarian #foodpic #foodpics #hungry #foodgasm #foodsforthought #eatstherainbow #kitchn #thenewhealthy #mississaugafoodie #torontofoodblog

Are we deep into cookie season or what?⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ What’s your all time fav cookie of the season? ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ For me it has to be anything with shortbread. That soft buttery goodness that melts in your mouth is soooo 👌🏽⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ I’m partial to rosemary shortbread. But J prefers these toblerone shortbread cookies (on the blog - just search ‘cookie’). ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ Last year I whipped these up as Christmas gifts for my coworkers. Pile them up in a mason jar, tie it all up with a ribbon and voila! A gorgeous homemade gift. ♥️⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⁣ #rueeats #vegetarian #instafood #delicious #eat #dessertrecipe #food #foodporn #sharefood #homemade #delicious #surlatable #imsomartha #foodpic #foodpics #hungry #foodgasm #foodsforthought #forkyeah #eatstherainbow #feedfeed #kitchn #yyzfoodie #mississaugafoodie #torontofoodblog #surlatable #foodphotography #foodtographyschool
