Food

I have the perfect snacks that are tiny, healthy, affordable & so easy to stock up on while we’re stuck on the quarantine rollercoaster.

Since it’s the start of the New Year I wanted to share ways to enjoy cooking AT HOME!  I bet people are trying to cook more, whether to save money or eat healthier, tis the season for home cooking!

I’m sharing recent snacks & food from the kitchen!  I haven’t talked food & groceries in a long time, so I thought it would be appropriate to pepper your life with some healthy snacks to feed yourself in between the holiday treats.

If you’ve ever wondered to yourself (& I mean ever) “where’s that from?”.  I can say with almost certainty – it’s from Amazon.  Amazon controls the world.

This is unusual for me, but I wanted to share a few of my favorite gluten-free & dairy-free recipes that you won’t believe are so delicious you’ll eat them all in one night!  Unusual in the sense that they aren’t my recipes, but some of my favorite people!

The water bottle you didn’t know you needed, but do.  You know those things you purchase & it immediately makes sense.  Like why didn’t you have this a long time ago?  That’s this glass water bottle & let me explain why.

I went 1 year with no alcohol & learned a few things.  But I love alcohol.  I love the way a glass of red wine accompanies a piece of chocolate cake or The Bachelor.  I love the way that first glass of wine eases into a conversation with a group of girlfriends.  I love wine.  And I miss it.

Are you sick of me discussing food & vegetables?  Because I’m not done yet, & if you stay on board I think your tummy will be happy to hear from me.  I’ve discovered the worldwide variety of vegetables.  & I’m sharing.

I thought of this while I was making a 25 ingredient salad for lunch the other day.  I do not recommend it.  I don’t care what anyone says or how much meal prep they do, having fresh & diverse food every meal is difficult.  But, I have helpers that make it easier.

Surprisingly, this is a common question I get asked when people know I drastically changed my diet.  Pretty quickly, someone will ask how I eat the way I do, when Wafiq can eat anything he wants.

At this point, I don’t even know what dairy is.  Unless we’re talking eggs.  Because is that dairy? If so, then I eat eggs but no other dairy, & I mean none.

We’re in March.  And March is a big deal for me.  It used to be because March is the month SXSW festival hits Austin, TX and the city turns into a jungle gym of adventure. People flood the city, coming from everywhere, and little Austin Texas doesn’t seem so little anymore.
