Life Insatiable

Hi Guys! If you follow me on Instagram you will know that I am redesigning the blog to get it a bit more interactive and add a few more features on there. This space has predominantly been for recipes and off the cuff posts. A journal for writing thoughts and things “when I feel like it” to be completely honest. Now at the homestretch of my pregnancy and along with the way I have grown during the…

The Lactation Smoothie Series

One of those things I dreaded the first time around because it was more LACK- Tation then anything. Truth be told, like every first time mother I had no clue and the guidance/ help just wasn’t there. So I panicked. The more I stressed, the less I produced. It was as simple in my Breastfeeding journey. I spoke to my Health Visitor, the Midwives ( who weren’t as helpful as I thought they would be…

Namaskaaram All, I cannot even deal with how cute the baby is. Turns out I completely skipped half of my first trimester because the above scan is 16.5 weeks. So the due date has now been pushed forward, which I am ecstatic about. Were we expecting this? Nope. Did we plan for it? Nope. But heart of hearts I wanted another bubba soon. We are obviously over the moon but under estimated the reality…

How Would You Like To Feel Everyday?

Namaskaaram beautiful beings. How are we all doing and feeling today? Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day celebrations.  I have been gone a while and all shall be addressed soon. Also guys, I don’t want to put content out there just to get that post in. You know? I write when I’m inspired. That’s that. But in the meantime. A discussion I frequently find myself involved in is, how I decide…

Namaskaaram Everyone Wow, What a January its been? Let’s take a moment to welcome February with open arms for all its adventures, challenges and epic moments. I’m so excited for this month and all the dishes I have planned too. But can I just say, I am so over this weather though. It’s been absolutely miserable and trying to be enthusiastic sometimes is effort ha ha. Real talk. So, Jollof Rice is…

Namaskaaram, Today needed a soulful bowl of Madras Aviyal. This morning has been extremely crispy with -2C and wild wind in the air. It was too cold to do anything but run everywhere. So I ran to the local green grocers, picked up some carrots and beets for the munch. On my way home, I really didn’t plan on making this dish. I was making some coconut milk for a smoothie and went. Yup I’m having…

#Veganuary Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick Review

Namaskaaram! Eeks! I’m so excited to do this post because for a change its not a recipe and it is something I will always have an on going obsession with. Make-Up! Most importantly cruelty free and Vegan make-up. I have always been a make-up junkie. I have this strange curiosity towards the cosmetics industry and even before transitioning to a Vegan lifestyle I was always learning about makeup. I…

#Veganuary Easy Bake Potato Bites

Namaskaaram Peeps! Aah man what an awesome day its been. I spent about two hours skipping with my parti which is always such a blessing man. Making time for them is one of my favourite things to do, because they are hilarious and so curious too. They want to know about everything! Which is the cutest. We shared recipes, discussed travel plans and how amazing it is that we now have packaged…

#Veganuary Kombucha Tofu Stir-fry Noodles

Namaskaaram guys! This week has been kind of overwhelming and I am just getting to a place where a certain routine is developing in terms of life and taking up work. It is all extremely exciting but I am completely shitting it. But I keep constantly telling myself to get out of my comfort zone and feel a little uncomfortable. That being said, this dish got me on the completely uncomfortable end…

#Veganuary Triple Chocolate Oat Mousse

Namaskaaram Guys, Wow, I’m really becoming a champ is writing out recipe titles ha ha. Mega mouthful.  But what we have here is a beautiful mistake I created. The night before, I had a massive kitchen clear out and took inventory of all the ingredients I have in my pantry. Yes, I actually do this and MAKE TIME to do it. It helps me work with what I have and create recipes as well. Documenting…

#Veganuary Sweet Potato Glass Noodles

Namaskaaram Gosh, I feel like that title is a mouthful to be honest. I’m not very creative when thinking about blog titles and prefer to say it as it is I suppose. I agree, this is slightly another adventurous dish for Veganuary. But I like stepping outside the box once in a while. I am a first timer when it comes to Noodle based dishes and certainly don’t want to brand this dish as Chinese or…

Namaskaaram Everyone So we are all officially back into routine. Some of us may have started even before 2017 commenced and props to you for bossing it man. Route has kicked in. Back to work. Making those school runs in full swing. I woke up ridiculously excited and according to some of my friends, that was “unacceptable” to be that excited about going back to routine ha ha. But you know what,…

#Veganuary Chickpea Potato Poha

Hello 2017! Welcome January and roll on Veganuary. Let me begin by wishing each and every one of you the happiest of New Years. Hope you all have had the best 2016 and here is to 2017 being another wonderful year with an extra portion of peace, love and harmony. Now I’ve got a few friends that have signed up to Veganuary, 31 days of being Plantbased. Why not? Some of them are doing it for the…

Namaskaaram Beings. We are another day closer to Christmas and I am sitting here with no tree or decorations. Yup, I know completely organised. But we have Dal Makhani though and I am happy with that. Dal Makhani, was always on the menu when we ate out as family in Dubai. Ofcourse it was ordered every single time. It’s one of those hearty, soulful dishes everyone will indulge in with a big proud…

  Namaste Lovers! How are we all today? I woke up feeling ridiculous amounts of gratitude and to give thanks, I made a big hearty bowl of Semiya Payasum. This is certainly one of those dishes that takes me back to the time I would wear my pattu pavadai, mallikai pu (jasmine flower) in my curly locks and get ready to explore a temple near where we live. Good times. This is a traditional and…

Namaste Beings. I’m here with another recipe which took pretty much no work at all. And if I can bake this, trust me so can you. Y’all know this is the time for warming comfort food seeing as the temperature keeps dipping down on the run unto Christmas, here in the UK. We might even have a white Christmas and that will make me smile so so much. But in the mean time I have been reaching for a lot…

Monday is here and what better way to start it than with a cup of  wholesome, warming Turmeric Latte. I bang on about this at every chance I get because it deserves all the love. 2016 has been the year of mindfully consuming as much fresh ingredients as possible and Turmeric has been one of those ingredients that I have fallen head over heels in love with. The health benefits go skin deep with…
