Lentil Shepherd's Pie

March 01, 2018 by Jenan Ashi in Savoury

It's easy to make and feels like a big hug when you eat it. My favourite part is that it's so adaptable, use whatever vegetables, potatoes or milk you have and it'll still turn out perfectly! Not to mention the leftovers are just the best!

3 Make Ahead Suhoor Recipes - Oats

October 04, 2017 by Jenan Ashi in Breakfast, Snacks

I'm still slightly shocked that this wonderful month is upon us again! Though you try and prepare before hand, it still seems to sneak up on you. Though the month isn't just about food and eating, or rather the lack of it, it's nice to have something delicious to look forward to before you start fasting again.

Overnight Oats/Bircher Muesli

October 04, 2017 by Jenan Ashi in Breakfast, Snacks

Bircher Muesli, where do I even begin? Easy, quick and tasty, the three best components to any recipe. I'm not that big a fan of traditional cooked porridge, but I do love raw oats and this is probably my favourite way to eat them.

Grilled Courgette Salad

July 31, 2017 by Jenan Ashi in Savoury, Salads

This is one of my new favourite ways to eat courgettes, straight off the grill or as chilled leftovers the next day, they make the perfect side on warm summer days. Not only is this so easy to prepare, but it combines the most fresh and mellow tone of the courgettes with the tart punch of the quick pickled red onions. Definitely a crowd pleaser!

Zaatar Granola (Savoury)

May 29, 2017 by Jenan Ashi in Breakfast, Arabic, Savoury

It's probably clear by now that I love using oats in my cooking and baking, they're so versatile, full of nutrients, fibre, and enough energy to keep you going for a few hours, that's what makes them such a perfect breakfast food.

Lentil and Squash Salad

May 24, 2017 by Jenan Ashi in Salads, Savoury

As the weather warms up and summer draws nearer, there’s nothing more satisfying then a hearty yet light meal that leaves you full but not that icky ‘I ate too much and now i’m overheating’ full. I love versatile dishes that can be adapted to use whatever you have in the fridge during any season, this one is a personal favourite!

Coconut Truffles/ Bounty Balls

February 09, 2017 by Jenan Ashi in Sweets, Snacks

These are one of the simplest treats you’ll probably ever make. Just 5 ingredients, and an absolute crowd pleaser. At home they disappear faster than anything else, and you wouldn't even know they were nourishing! They’ve become my go-to easy sweet recipe, as they don't need to be baked and can can be made and consumed in almost 30 minutes!

Turmeric Tea (Golden Mylk/Turmeric Latte)

January 26, 2017 by Jenan Ashi in Breakfast, Drinks

This drink is the perfect winter warmer, especially when it's absolutely freezing outside and we're all feeling a little too prone to a cold. We're all needing that 'already back into the flow of real life' pick-me-up.

Chocolate Wholemeal Muffins

October 07, 2016 by Jenan Ashi in Snacks, Sweets, Breakfast

Not your average muffin, I admit! This little morsel of goodness is so yummy and wholesome, made which wholemeal flour (I like to use spelt). The crunchy surface is perfect in contract to the soft and fluffy cake, and paired with a smooth coffee its a perfect way to start the day if you're in a hurry or as a tea-time snack (my favourite time and way to eat them!)

Chocolate Ganache Squares

June 20, 2016 by Jenan Ashi in Snacks, Sweets

Smooth, rich and decadent. Anything with more than one layer is pretty perfect in my opinion. Multiple textures means even more points too, so these tick all the boxes.

June 17, 2016 by Jenan Ashi in Arabic, Sweets

Tabbouleh

June 16, 2016 by Jenan Ashi in Salads, Arabic

Tabbouleh! I'm sure you've been to Arabic, or more specifically Lebanese restaurants and ordered it, but trust me when I say it's nothing like the homemade stuff! Perfect as a side at dinner during the summer, and perfect for taking to impress at a barbecue, it’s so refreshing and light!

Balsamic Quinoa Salad

April 23, 2016 by Jenan Ashi in Salads

This Salad is absolutely delicious and so simple to make. As the weather gets warmer and the stovetop becomes less appealing, chilled meals are a life saver. I love to have this sitting in the fridge ready for lunch or dinner for whenever i’m hungry or too busy to prepare anything.

Hello, friends 👋🏼 I’ll be disappearing for the next few days for a much needed break from here and all things internet related ☺️ hopefully I’ll be back with a renewed energy and lots of exciting things I can’t wait to tell you about. I hope you’re all enjoying the sun and I hope you continue to ☀️
Who’s ready for the weekend? 🙋🏻‍♀️ I’ll probably make my French Toast, i.e. the only French Toast recipe you’ll ever need 😍 
There’s a vegan alternative for eggs in this recipe too and it’s just as good 👌🏼 Have a lovely Thursday, friends 😌 I’ll be dreaming of this meal 🤷🏻‍♀️😅 The recipe link is in my bio ☺️
A lot of excitement to try @blanchecardiff finally. It was worth the wait 😌 the loveliest place with the loveliest people! Thank you for the best donuts ever! (P.s they’re all vegan & the coffee is amaaaazing)
Why does it feel like it’s getting colder again? 😔😣 might just have to make this tomorrow. Lentil shepherds pie it is 🤷🏻‍♀️
Favourite colours for spring reminding me that better weather is to come 🤞

ALSO, I have some EXCITING NEWS coming soon 🙊 keep you eyes peeled for an announcement soon 👀
*posts another picture staring into space*

I didn’t realise until yesterday that I was always such a daydreaming child/teen, and now, adult. Yesterday, one of my friends reminded me that it’s one of the only things of our own we can hold on to. Being able to zone out, imagine and dream is such a blessing and you should never get so serious that your stop yourself from doing that...I have before and it’s just not fun! Being an adult can be hard enough, why do we make it harder?

I’ve actually held off posting this photo for a while. Why? Because I simply didn’t have the confidence to, which is really quite surprising. Then I was reminded of how dreaming is actually so wonderful and how it births great things and I just thought how significant is a simple photo in the grand scheme of things? Not significant at all, but repressing yourself and feeding lack of confidence can last a very long time and just isn’t worth it! You’re the best judge of your life, and there’s nothing wrong with pushing the boat out a little. 🙂

Keep dreaming, friends✨
Have you tried my OAT TAHINI COOKIES? From bowl to belly in 20 MINS and only 6 INGREDIENTS! Whaaaat! I loveeeee them and so does everyone I’ve made them for, give them a go ☺️ P.S I’ve got a couple of sweet recipes coming so keep your eyes peeled 👀

I’ve put the link for this recipe in my bio! ☺️
It’s snowing...in March?! Karak/chai is the only way ☕️
Such a deliccccccious coffee! Pretty too! I shouldn’t have much coffee for the sake of my skin (and heart) but sometimes I can’t resist 😣 this is soy milk but my new favourite is oat milk in my lattes because 😍 (and better for the environment too!)
People have always thought we’re twins or that we’re not even related. I think we’ve grown up to look less alike, but what most people don’t know is that we are COMPLETE OPPOSITES...like really really! I think the little being inside her might turn out more like me. Well, I can hope 😆

Side note- this was amazing coffee ☕️
