  • The Low-Carb Solution to Egg in a Hole Recipe

    The Low-Carb Solution to Egg in a Hole Recipe

    Can’t decide whether to make a grilled kabab or an egg in a hole? Make both!
    Two of my favorite food groups—eggs and toast—unite in this take on the playful dish also known as egg in a hole, Egg in a Basket or Egg in a Boat or, more simply, egg in toast. I fancy it up by filling the bread center with mince crust and topping with basil or chili flakes. And It came out so delicious!

    Egg in-a-hole – Look at that perfect texture !!

    For this recipe, I used a normal mince kabab mixture for filling the bread , to keep it low carb. The outside was crunchy and crispy and inside was so juicy and tasted so good with the egg in the middle. A nice way to add some more protein to a sandwich, while also providing something of a sauce from the egg yolk (depending on how you cook your egg). It’s adds just a little oomph of flavor to the sandwich.

    Watch carefully as you cook the mince crust, and don’t raise the heat higher than medium: The goal is for the mince crust to brown and the egg to set simultaneously. Save the crust center for making breadcrumbs.

    Also how well the eggs must be cooked is a personal choice. Some like over easy, sunnyside up or completely cooked through. No matter how you make it, this will remain a favorite breakfast option passed on for many generations to come. When you make this cute breakfast-for-dinner recipe, you can vary it by using cheese, vegetables or sauteed Spinach in place of the mince filling.

    This Low-Carb Solution to Egg in a Hole Recipe can be an excellent addition to a healthy weight loss diet. They’re not only low-carb and low in calories but also high in protein and fiber that keep you feeling full.

    I’m really excited to share this recipe with you.

  • Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs Recipe

    Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs Recipe

    This salad came to my mind right as I was falling asleep.

    Does your brain ever do crazy stuff like that? My best ideas seem to come when I’m about to doze off and don’t have a notebook or pen to write things down, so I just make a pact with my brain to remember. And the next day we both do our best to recall what we were thinking.

    Thankfully, this one made it through the pipeline! Three cheers for my old lady brain still working!

    Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs

    Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs

    I’ve made many a Bean salad before, but this one is special. This is the answer to the question, “What’s super cozy, flavorful and perfect for any BBQ Party?” It’s a great addition to any summer get together!

    This Pakistani/Italian flavor pairing came to mind, and the recipe is adapted from my all-time favorite Bean Salad.   One super easy thing you can prep ahead is beans. I love beans because you can make them so many different ways and they’re packed with protein, slow-digesting carbohydrates and fiber. Their nutritional profile makes them ideal for prepping before a workout and recovering after a workout. If you’re trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight, they’re great for that too since they make you feel full longer.

    One of my favorite ways to enjoy beans during the warmer months is with my Bean Salad. It’s super easy to make and it tastes really yummy too! This recipe is simple, requiring just 10 minutes to prepare! You can eat it all on its own (what I normally do) or dress it up by adding some more chopped veggies to it. It’s also great added to some greens either in a wrap or in a salad. 

    Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs

    Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs

    The dressing is SO easy (and dreamy).

    Italian herbs are blended with vinegar . Add olive oil water to thin and ‘voila!’ You have a super yummy, tangy Italian dressing ready to coat those gorgeous bean salad. Look at that salad goodness.

    Bean Salad with Olives and Herbs

    I hope you all LOVE this Bean salad! It’s:

    • Hearty
    • Flavorful
    • Vegetable-packed
    • Fiber- & Protein-rich
    • Tangy + Crunchy
    • Super healthy & Delicious

    This would make the perfect side dish for BBQ Party, or any get together, really. It yields four entrée-sized portions or 8 sides, so multiply as needed. Although it’s delicious on its own, it would pair extremely well with my Grilled Lamb Chops, and my Grilled Italian Chicken.

    Bismillah, let’s get started the recipe!!

  • Broccoli Spaghetti Soup Recipe

    Broccoli Spaghetti Soup ( Clean Eating Version)

    I have slacked off a little on my health and I am working to reclaim it. This month, I am working on my diet and working on improving my all round health and fitness levels. I will NOT let this chronic illness get the best of me. InshaAllah.

    During the winter months, I find myself craving soup time and time again. So Today, I’m sharing an easy and healthy recipe for Broccoli Spaghetti Soup (Clean Eating Version). A simple soup that nourishes the body and soul.

    Oh ya, this is the good stuff. I mean,  spaghetti and broccoli are such a wonderful, comforting combination anyway. But turn that into soup and you’ve got a wonderful meal for a cold winter night! 

    Broccoli Spaghetti Soup (Clean Eating Version)
    Broccoli Spaghetti Soup (Clean Eating Version)

    In the last week, I seriously made four different types of soups. This Broccoli Spaghetti Soup was my favorite of the four, and surprisingly, the healthiest as well!

    The recipe starts with crisp stalks of organic broccoli. I am making the organic distinction here, because the main flavor of this soup comes from the broccoli, so it’s got to be top notch.  That means organic and preferably local.First tossed broccoli with olive oil until tender, caramelized and aromatic.  Then stir in born broth and cooked spaghetti. It’s chunky, brothy savory, and just the right balance of pasta and green veggie. I love the aroma of parsley and chunky broccoli in this soup.

    Ingredients You will Need:

  • Baked Vegetable Spring Rolls Recipe

    Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!

    In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

    I hope you’re well and have had a good start to the week.   I’m sorry to let you worry about me, but these days I’m a bit busy.  As you know study study study. lol 😀 I am madly busy with my assignments. Sorry for this post being late.

    My class got cancelled today. Glad I get a chance to breathe. So I decide to write a post for my lovely reader’s. Last week, I made these Veggie rolls ( Baked Version) to give myself a break from ‎assignment work. They are very easy to prepare and tastes absolutely delicious! I had too much fun making this. 

    baked veggie rolls
    Take a Break and bake Some Veggie Rolls 🙂

    These yummlicious veggie rolls are healthy and very filling. And they smell amazing when they’re baking. They crisped up fine in the oven. The only problem is that three wrappers have 180 calories! What!???? That’s a lot. I ate 3 rolls anyway. 😛 😉 They are ready in only 35 minutes and you can use your favorite veggies.

    Baked Veggie Rolls Recipe
    Photo: Baked Veggie Rolls Recipe

    You could fry these, too, but I was trying to keep them healthy. I hope you all give this Baked Veggie Rolls recipe a try and let me know how they turn out!

    Baked Veggie Rolls 

    So let the fun begin!

    1. First Prepare Veggie Filling: Heat a small amount of oil in a wok over medium heat. Add giner and garlic. Saute until fragrant. Might you think, it’s a stupid instruction, isn’t it? Tell you what, just cook your garlic few seconds until they’re soft-ish.
    2. Now add green peas, red beans and corns. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until they are soft.Add remaining veggies and add a splash of vingear. Stir fry for few minutes. You can add soy sauce or any store bought sauce etc. But I didn’t add it. As I try to avoid artifical ingredients to follow my journey towards clean eating. 🙂
      Sprinkle black pepper, red chili, and maybe a little salt if you need it. If you want to use fresh herbs then I think that would be lovely.
    3. Stir well and Let everything simmer for a couple of minutes, but don’t let everything get overly soft because you still have to stuff and bake your rolls.
    4. Take the mixture into a bowl and let it cool for few minutes. Once everything is cool, you can either proceed to stuffing the rolls, or cover your bowl and put everything in the fridge overnight. If you do refrigerate the veggie mixture, be sure to bring it room temperature before stuffing your rolls.
    5. When you’re ready to stuff your rolls, be sure your stuffing mixture and wrappers are at room temperature. You’ll want a clean work surface for this part and a bowl of water nearby.
    6. Don’t be intimidated by this part. You just want the rolls to hold the yummy stuffing in. They don’t need to be perfect. And, frankly, if someone is going to judge you on how pretty your spring rolls are, then you probably shouldn’t be feeding them. lol 😛
    7. Preheat an oven for 200 degree C and brush a baking sheet with oil.
    8. Place a wrapper out in a diamond shape on your work surface.Put a tablespoons of filling in the center of the wrapper. I under-stuffed these rolls, so they turned out chewier that I would have liked. However, you don’t want to stuff them so full that they split open. It’s a delicate balance.
    9. Bring the bottom point of your wrapper up over the filling and tuck it under as tight as you can. Fold the sides over and shape into a roll.
    10. Moisten the edges of the top flap slightly with water and roll the roll over, pressing the point on the underside of the roll to seal it.
    11. Put on a lightly oiled baking sheet and repeat this method the rest of your rolls.
    12. Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with egg-wash and sprinkle sesame seeds over them.
    13. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until they turn golden brown. This took my oven around 22-25 minutes.
    14. You can eat these veggie rolls with tamari or soy sauce, but we prefer sweet and sour sauce.
      Ready !!

  • Heart-Healthy Pan Fried Fish Recipe

    Pan Fried Fish

    This Pan Fried Fish recipe is melt-in-your-mouth delicious and healthy too! Fish Fillets or Fish steaks are pan-fried, searing in the flavors and omega-3 goodness of the fish.

    Tangy Pan Fried Fish (Clean Eating Version)
    Photo: Tangy Pan Fried Fish (Clean Eating Version)

    It is pretty simple and fast to put together and differs completely from another pan fried fish I have posted earlier. This Tangy Pan Fried Fish relies on warm flavor of ginger, sharp garlic and the grassy heat of green chillies along with a tang from vinegar and chaat masala. I pan fry the fish in virgin olive oil, you need to try fish cooked in it to know how awesome it tastes but canola or other oil will work fine too.

    Ah, a good fish fry.  Who doesn’t love that?  That crunch of flaming-hot fish fillets straight from the fryer.

    I love fried fish. While it make my tummy rumble in ecstasy, my blood vessels are shuttering with fear of all that cholesterol. 😛

    We usually have the batter made out of white flour, or maybe cornflour (hello, sky-high insulin), and then deep-fried in some vat of polyunsaturated fat that has been used over and over, creating a huge batch of trans-fat laden ooze that your fish is swimming in before it reaches your plate, all to wreck havoc on your health. Okay, so maybe now you don’t love fried fish so much? Sorry to ruin it for ya! But here’s my healthy, and lip-smacking alternative!!

  • Recipe: The BEST EVER Vegetarian Lasagna

    Recipe: The BEST EVER Vegetarian Lasagna

    Vegetarian Lasagna

    For all those out there that say a Vegetarian Lasagna can’t be as good as one made from meat, you’re wrong. So wrong.
    Once you have a good lasagna recipe under your belt, you know you’re getting somewhere in the culinary world.

    I will agree that lasagna needs a certain type of ‘meaty’ flavour, after all it was originally a meat dish. But that’s easily possible thanks to spelt grains or freekeh (very easy to find), which take on an amazing, smoky, deep flavour when cooked in stock. The pleasingly-chewy texture feels like the consistency of meat too, and is more than a replacement – it’s even better.

    As much as I love Meaty lasagna, when I had a slice of this veggie version, I really didn’t miss the meat. And so I now have one thing to say – to the veggie haters, this is the best lasagna ever. Best. Lasagna. Ever.
    Don’t believe me? That’s fine, taste is subjective anyway. But make your decision after you’ve tried it.

    Just find ready made lasagna sheets and this great lunch or dinner dish bursting with carrot, zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, pepper and herbs is all yours!

    This Vegetarian Lasagna doesn’t require too much time, either. While water boils and noodles cook, you can get through making most of the vegetable sauce. Then, all you do is finish the sauce, assemble and bake for 30 minutes or so.

    Bonus — I actually found this Vegetarian Lasagna is better the next day – score for make-ahead meals.

    Here’s how I made mine yesterday, but keep in mind you can use any lasagna recipe you love! Just roll the cheesy filling inside the noodles as shown below, place them in a pan (small or large, depending on your needs), and top them with whatever sauce you want.
