Hello Fiesta Friday lovelies, I recently got back from a road trip to Portland, OR and goodness over that trip I had a whole lot of processed food in my diet. Now that I’m back I decided that I would get right on back on track to my healthy lifestyle by making some healthy snacks. […]

Zaru soba or zaru udon (gluten free, vegan)
Zaru soba is one of my most favorite Japanese dishes and I like to order it at restaurants a lot. But for some reason it’s quite the pricy dish to order especially for something that doesn’t come with any proteins or veggies so I finally decided that it was time to make it for myself […]
Chili (vegan friendly)
Okay, I know we’re in the midst of mid-August heat but I love my chilli and I haven’t had it in years and I really wanted to make a batch so I ended up making it anyways. And let me tell you…eating spicy hot soup on a scorching hot day meant a lot of sweating […]
Protein brownies (vegan friendly)
I’ve been trying to up my protein intake lately, because 1) I have a hard time meeting my daily requirements for it because we rarely have seafood at home for pescatarian me and 2) I’m trying to build muscle so I need to have more protein than the recommended amount to help retain it. Which […]
Japanese curry rice – Kare Raisu

Clean eats: Tacos (gluten free, vegan friendly)
It’s taco Tuesday and tacos don’t always have to be unhealthy! I love tacos because they’re sort of like…waaaaayyy messier versions of sandwiches but who doesn’t like getting messy every once in a while right? I mean you can fill them with basically anything you want and they’ll still taste super yummy. Granted that they […]
Strawberry shortcakes (vegan friendly)
HAPPY CANADA DAY EVERYONE! I rarely ever make desserts for the holidays but I decided to be festive this year and decided to make strawberry shortcakes! But instead of filling the strawberry shortcakes with whipped cream, I decided to fill them with honeyed Greek yogurt instead to give them a healthier twist (: I wanted […]
Chocolate fig bars (clean eats/vegan)
I bought a jar of apple sauce recently and I’ve been experimenting with it in bakes ever since! Apple sauce can be used to add sweetness to bakes and can be used in place of oil as well. I’ve never used apple sauce in bakes before but I’ve heard that it gives things a “cake-ier” […]
