Delicious Pasta Salad with Avocado Dressing

January 20, 2015

I was checking my phone at 6 am (cause the alarm went off) and I was so happy with what I saw that I squealed and did a 360-degree flip! Ok, fine, it was just 180 degrees, right to left. Anything more than that would have broken a few bones. I was all smiles and there was just one cause for…

Sesame Chicken Salad

November 30, 2014

How was thanksgiving people? Mine was good *rubs tummy* It was so good for me that I felt guilt stricken and I ended up buying an overpriced box of soup that was supposed to be very healthy and it tasted HORRIBLE. Don't you just hate it when you spend your moolah on any kind food that seems so good on the packaging?…

Pina Colada Smoothie Recipe

November 17, 2014

My sleeping patterns have taken a drastic change. I spend the night sleeping in installments. If my sleeping hours were to be made into a movie, it would be a movie with part 1, part 2 and a part 3 (Read: a movie with sequels). I no longer sleep at a stretch, or rather I am not able to sleep…

Simple Caramelized Salmon Recipe

November 7, 2014

I should be eating lettuce for the rest of the week and that too sans dressing and only a fork would be required. Reason is, I have had so many cakes on my birthday. I actually came up with a quote while eating all those cakes. "Only those who are loved so much gets more than 1 cakes on their…

Roasted Asparagus in Balsamic Butter Vinaigrette

October 27, 2014

Some of you might be looking at the title and going "Butter on Skinny Mondays"?? Butter in moderation is fine; not my words, but Dr. Ian Smith's. Yes, that is how I roll at times, echoing back whatever the specialist said. It is perfectly normal to quote someone else otherwise there wouldn't be a re-post feature on Instagram, a re-tweet tab on…

Warm Roasted Vegetable Salad

Whenever someone drops me a message/comment on Maya’s Kitchenette, I would be all smiley-miley. There is always a sense of satisfaction when a certain recipe is loved. So do keep the comments coming people. (hint hint) Responsibility is built into blogging, too. I have been trying to blog religiously. I might not be taking the most awesome of pictures (as yet) but I…

Caramelized Onions, Mushroom and Avocado Quesadillas

October 11, 2014

An avocado 2 times a week, keep the doctors away. "An apple a day" quote is so 1923 (Read: So yesterday) You know there are certain times when you are just too lazy to fix a whole meal. Okay fine, I meant me. It usually happens when I have to fix lunch for myself. I don’t mind cooking for the whole…

Garlic and Rosemary Smashed Potatoes

October 8, 2014

The past few days have been super busy. It started with my BCF (best cousin forever) birthday, followed by Eid preparations and then Eid itself. Now that everything is over, let’s talk potatoes. When I saw this, I knew that I had to give this recipe a try. These potatoes were screaming out loud at me. Yup, these potatoes talk. If you have…

Easy Italian Seafood Soup

September 30, 2014

I love soups especially for dinner. Cream of Mushroom Soup has to be one of my favorite. Have you heard of the Jewish woman who had two chickens? One got sick, so the woman made chicken soup out of the other one to help the sick one get well. So that basically means, soups are good for everyone. ;) 1. Soups…

Watermelon and Soy Milk Smoothie

Oh lawwwwd, it’s Monday again?? Great, so now I have to wait for another million years before Friday comes again. How come Friday is always so far away like a relative that you meet once every year and Mondays are just like your mother in law who keeps popping over at your house without an invitation? Not talking from experience though.…
