Sometimes I feel that I spend twice the time cooking our meals nowadays. It’s always about preparing unsalted and unsweetened food for our nine month old baby while making our regular meals. I’ve been trying to get more efficient at this lately and come up with simple and healthy recipes, perfect for our nine-month old […]
Five-ingredient recipes will get you in and out of the kitchen in no time. Also, if they are your favourite ingredients you’ll most likely have some of them in your kitchen. Water, oil for frying, and other essential spices in anyone’s cupboard do not count (salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, basil, rosemary, chili, curry, bay leaves, thyme, cinnamon , vanilla extract, sugar)!
I truly believe simplicity is key and there is no need to have a long list of ingredients to make a really delicious dish. From tasty appetizers to nutritious main dishes and delicious desserts, I am sure you can all create your own mouthwatering recipe with only a few ingredients.

There is nothing better than a good and creamy Pineapple Berry Smoothie! It is filling and packed with vitamins and nutrients that provide so many health benefits. From improving digestion to lowering cholesterol & blood pressure, boosting your immune system and preventing early ageing, tooth decaying & cancer, this smoothie does it all! And do […]
Beans with Roasted Peppers and Onions
Everyone knows that beans are super nutritious, high in fiber and antioxidants and are a great substitute for meat. We eat dried beans regularly but a few months ago we ate them more than usual as George followed a slow carb diet which focused a lot on lean proteins, legumes and vegetables. He read about […]
Banana Blueberry Parfait
I’m the type of person who walks into a Starbucks and orders a grande sugar-free non-fat half-soy organic-chocolate extra-hot white chocolate mocha. Yeah, not really : )! I’m not a big coffee drinker but I enjoy their yogurt-berry parfaits. I was craving one the other day and had some frozen blueberries around so I decided […]
Slow-Cooker Whole Chicken with Veggies
This Slow-Cooker Whole Chicken with Veggies is the easiest and healthiest meal you can make. You only need 5 main ingredients (salt, pepper & essential spices do not count) and it takes minutes to put together in the slow cooker. A few hours later you’ll have a tender and succulent chicken with a delicious garlicky […]
Egg Easter Bunny Face
I officially own over 200 cookie cutters in all shapes possible, yeah call me crazy! I don’t make cookies very often though; I’m more of a cake person – just check out the Surprise Bunny Inside a Carrot Cake Cheesecake I made just recently where I actually used a cookie cutter! So this morning while […]
Breaded Eggplant
I love eggplant in all shapes and forms but my favourite two recipes are the Eggplant Salad from this post (it’s more like a dip) and this Breaded Eggplant recipe. I used to plant, grow and harvest eggplants in my grandparents’ garden so maybe that’s one of the reasons why I love them so much. […]
Egg Mushrooms
I can’t believe my baby is almost 7 months old now, why does time fly by so fast! He’s eating solids like a champ now and just started with the egg yolks last week. So since I have to boil eggs for him, I thought why not get creative a bit and add these Egg […]
Mashed Potato Swirls with Parmesan
I love these mashed potato swirls! They are easy and fast to make and you only need five ingredients. They look great on any appetizer platter for your small gathering, birthday party or why not, the upcoming Super Bowl party. For more five-ingredient recipes check out my 5licious section! Time: 65 min, Prep: 25 min. Cook: 40min. Servings: 28 […]
