This Sunday I want to preserve my energy guys:) I am hungry today what else I can say, I can not eat till the sun goes down and my energy level is totally different than two hours ago. I was going to do so many things today as I imagined and planned in my head but I didn't write down any of them, I should have written.  However, I still want to share my post for Sunday talk.  I came up with a recipe. It is simple and takes no longer than 30 minutes. LENTIL SOUP It is vegan and [...]

Have Control Over the Energy that is Being Put into Your Food Remember your favorite food that either your mom or your grandmother made. I also have a favorite dish my dad made me once I never forget. Have you ever asked yourself why that food is your favorite dishes of your mom? I want to tell my favorite one and its story. When I think of a favorite dish of my mom I always think of two dishes; one of them is stuffed bell pepper and the other one is mantı you can call it “Turkish Dumpling”. The reason […]

Sunday Talks I want to talk about fasting this week. I won’t be getting into the religious aspect of it but more about how it positively affects our inner discipline. * As you may already realize; I love food! I love anything related to food; eating, making, talking, reading, learning, researching and this list can go on when it comes to food. But I am also more cautious than the majority of people about what I eat, and what I put in my body. Besides, I have a health coach in my house. 😊 So, health and food relationships are [...]

Sunday Talks I hope you read the whole article. But if you can't, jump to section 3 and please read till the end. I strongly believe it would motivate you to make small changes maybe just in your mind today and that's totally fine, that's a positive step. 1. Nothing New Under the Sun I am not going to tell you anything new or never heard about having more plant-based foods in your diet. Everything I say here, you probably heard from somewhere maybe not all together but I think this post might help to reconstruct your mindset on the [...]

We Need More Desserts These Days I do not know what's going on, but I meet with so many obstacles every time I learn something new about technology! Ok, this was not the greatest, and optimistic enter to a blog post, BUT guys, I have been working on sharing this recipe with a great recipe app, but (another, but this is what happened in the background) it just didn't work out, and I am not happy about it. I still wanted to share this recipe because I made it multiple times last month, and we eat with joy every time. [...]

Gluten Free and Vegan It has been a while since I added a recipe here. I hope, one day I will balance it out and be able to share recipes with you regularly. By the way, I hope you are having a good time in this hot summer. Me, I finally visited my family in Turkey. It has been two years since I visited them. Now, I am with them and  I slowed down little bit. I am spending a lot time with my nephew who is only seven years old. It is fun! and also it is so nice [...]

I have big love relation with apple because it is such a foundational fruit in my life. Here in Seattle, I think many times apple is like a bread and cheese for me. I don't know how much apple we consume until the weather gets warmer, and options for the local fruits get better. So, I have to be creative on apple. In the mean while, my Turkish culture becomes beneficial when it comes to apple. Here is one example. I grow up eating apple blanket at mom's gatherings at least once a month. These gatherings remind me now that how much [...]

I know it took me a long time to write this post. If you ask me why, I have no idea. Probably, it is related with me wanting to do a lot of things in one time and ending up not doing anything. I am still working on to get better on this. Next time it won’t be this long. Promise. Seasons are changing.. and there is a new year! 2019. Right now I want to keep it simple and just want to say Happy New Years! As you may notice 2019 is the preparation of 2020 and big changes [...]

I should be honest with you. The first recipe idea for my blog gave me some anxieties. Being a perfectionist and knowing that deeply involved long procrastinating to the first move. But nothing could delay my passion forever so here I am and happily sharing my first recipe with you all. I thought for a while about what recipe should be to share first. I thought all kinds of crazy stuff, and try to make the first recipe cooler, fancier, and original so on. However, at the end of the thinking process, I decided to follow my gut and start [...]
