  • You have that friend don’t you? That fancy friend you pop in on and ten seconds later they magically produce a Pinterest worthy snack platter. Want to be that annoyingly impressive friend? All you need is some of these high quality @BertolliCanada Olives and whatever assortment of cheese, nuts and crackers you have in your fridge. After having liberally sampled these olives - especially the Tuscan and Sicilian which are BURSTING with Mediterranean flavours - it is safe to say that this Holiday season whatever else is on that tray will matter a whole lot less. Trust me on this one. My favourite part? Because you can buy them and keep them in the fridge you will have them on hand whenever you need them! Helpful hint from your blogger buddy: buy at least two of the flavored ones! #BertolliCanada #TheRecipeIsSimple #BertolliOlives #Sponsored
  • Can I be honest? Yesterday was a little rough - I don’t want to get into why here but I did realize something I wanted to share here. We always talk about the discord between Instagram and reality and while that is 💯 true I have come to realize that in some way Instagram has helped me improve my reality. It’s helped me create and appreciate simple beautiful moments like that steaming cup of coffee in a beautiful cup. While I’m most likely to eat roasted tomatoes straight from a pan when I plate them like this - atop some cold Greek yogurt ala @ottolenghi - it reminds me of how beautiful the simplest foods are. In the madness of yesterday this morning plate of roasted garlicky tomatoes was my sanctum. Here’s to appreciating the beautiful moments and things in life. Much love to you all my Instagram friends who forever support and inspire me. #torontoblogger #oakville #ottolenghisimple
  • I made this “laal daal” recently and my older daughter turned to me and said “Mama you know this is the kind of food I want to have after a long cold day? Do you know what I mean?” Yes my kindred spirit I do. I grew up eating this tomato rich Masoor ki Daal and it is hands down my favourite. For those of you who have asked me many times why I don’t have Masoor ki Daal on my blog I do - I just didn’t think much and called it My Mamas Red Lentils and it’s only when my friend @vaish_sridhar pointed out how difficult that makes it to find that I knew it needed some updating. Thanks Vaishnavi for always giving great feedback 💕 . . . . #comfortfood #pakistanifood #flourandspiceblog #delish #dawndotcom #feedfeed #igtoronto #torontoblogger
  • This is the only murghi ka salan I actually crave. I make many, but there is something about the super simple base and the end chillies that just gets me. It’s a White Chicken Salan which admittedly looks far less white than usual here and it’s for dinner tonight. What are you having? Also recipe linked in my stories and on my profile. . . . . . #flourandspiceblog #pakistanifood #curry #bloggers #foodie #dawndotcom #igtoronto
  • When @teaforturmeric wrote our Dawat Guide a few months ago one of the questions we got the most was: how do I host and not be tired? Izzah and I are practically people and have lots of tips to make the whole thing easier, but we can’t make any one tired proof. Hosting is tiring friends - but you know what? It’s 100% worth it. It’s a way for us to show the people we care that we care about them and if we are fortunate enough a way to celebrate a friend on their special day. I didn’t have to host a tea for my friend @abinadeivendran on her birthday, I got to. See the difference? As I gear up for my little ones birthday I am reminded of the same sentiment. I don’t have to throw a party, I get to. I don’t have to make a cake, I get to. In a world where we can account for our weekends weeks in advance it’s wonderful to be able to make the deliberate choice to spend time with the people we love. And stuff them silly if we can. Yes yes I am annoying Aunty who says “acha thora sa aur kha lo”. Have a great weekend friends ❤️. . . . #foodblogger #dawat #torontoblogger #hosting #hostingaparty
  • Hard Question: what’s a healthy dish you crave when it’s cold outside?Trying to rewire my brain otherwise this snowy weather will have me alternating between carbs and fried carbs 😂 Baked Chicken Fajitas are easy peasy and I usually have the ingredients too! . . . . #comfortfood #traybake #chicken #igerstoronto #torontoblogger
  • Do you have corny nicknames for your kids that you wouldn’t use in front of your friends? I do and I can’t figure out if it’s ok to share with all of you 😂 My first born - you know the kids that truly transforms you - recently turned 9 and had a super fun rock climbing themed party @lifetimeathleticmississauga This was cake round two (the first collapsed) and the design is @katiescreativebaking - our round one collapsed but for a one day job this ain’t so bad 😬😆 Zara Zara Mama Ka _______ led point on the cookies and has casually mentioned once or twice that her friends talked about the cookies (inspired by @thefrostedswirlbakeshop) more than the cake lol. Well done not so little one, well done. #birthdays #squarecake #cake #cookies #rockclimbingparty
  • It’s cold outside. Someone pass me a plate of kababs. These simple pan fried Chicken Kababs are on the blog. I like pretending I’m fancy, make them longer and on my grill pan for those beautiful lines. Then I serve them to the kids on plastic plates on top of plastic table mats 😂 #momlife Recipe link on my IG profile! . . . #kababs #pakistanifood #chicken #pakistanirecipes #food52 #dawndotcom #torontoblogger
  • Getting ready to go to bed, thinking about tomorrow and pumped because this Chanay ki Daal is on my meal plan. Also extra excited because I’ll be meeting one of my IG friends tomorrow! Can you guess who? . . #pakistanifood #daal #torontoblogger #instantpot
  • It’s terribly not grown up of me, but I love Pizza. Do you? I also kinda love leftovers especially when I can be enterprising desi mama and turn them into pizza! My Canadian friends and I just finished celebrating thanksgiving weekend and this Tandoori Turkey Pizza is just one of six awesome ways that I’m sharing for using up your delicious Turkey leftovers! What are some of your favourite things to put on pizza? . . . . @canadianturkey #sponsored #canadianturkeymonth #halalfoodiegta #torontoblogger #pizza #feedfeed #muslimahblogger #tandoori
  • I had two dreams and they both came true. I got my kids to pack their own healthy lunches AND finish a cup of coffee while it was hot all at the same time. Miraculous right? While I'd like to take full credit, most of it actually goes to the fabulous @LoblawsON in-store registered dietitian who met with them, walked them around the grocery store and helped them become Bento Box bosses. In 30-minutes no less. They even make snacks for me now. Swipe left to see what we got up to! #foodloversunite #raiseafoodlover #sponsored . . . #torontoblogger
  • Is it hot where you are or does it feel like Fall? Doing some early AM meal planning for the week and I can’t figure out if I’m planning for summer weather or fall weather 😂 aah life in Canada 🇨🇦 This Chicken & Rice Soup with Chillies hits the mark all year round. On the meal plan it goes! Linking my post on meal planning and my soup recipe in my stories and on my profile! . . . . . #flourandspiceblog #soup #comfortfood #feedfeed #foodie #foodblogger #torontoblogger
