This flavour-packed Easy One Pan Chicken Shawarma is a breeze to prepare, making it perfect for busy weeknights! With minimal cleanup and juicy, tender chicken, it’s sure to be a family favourite🙌😍 But first Save and Share ! Here is the recipe👇 Ingredients: 500 grams chicken tenderloins (or boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into strips) 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon honey 1 teaspoon smoked paprika 1 teaspoon sumac (or lemon zest) Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 teaspoon coriander powder 1 teaspoon cumin powder 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 sliced onion Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish Tahini sauce, for drizzling (optional) Instructions: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the chicken tenderloins, olive oil, honey, smoked paprika, sumac (or lemon zest), salt, pepper, coriander powder, cumin powder, garlic, and lemon juice. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and drizzle with tahini sauce (if using). Serve immediately with your favourite accompaniments, such as pita bread, salad, or rice.

Weekend Baking : Easy & Moist Chocolate Banana Cake! Kick off your weekend with this incredibly easy and moist chocolate banana cake! It takes just 10 minutes of prep and lets your oven do the rest. This recipe is perfect for using up those ripe bananas lurking on your counter. It combines the rich flavors of chocolate cake with the comforting goodness of banana bread - truly the best of both worlds! Bonus: It freezes beautifully, so you can enjoy school snacks or grab-and-go treats anytime! Ready to bake? Here’s what you’ll need: Ingredients 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 teaspoon baking soda a pinch salt ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon  ½ cup vegetable oil or coconut oil 1 cup granulated sugar 2 large eggs 3-4 mashed very ripe bananas  1 teaspoon vanilla extract ⅓ cup yogurt ½ cup chocolate chips Method: Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Butter a 9×5-inch loaf pan. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside. In a bowl beat together oil and sugar on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as necessary. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add mashed bananas and vanilla extract, and beat until combined. Reduce mixer to low speed and add half of the dry ingredients, beating just until combined. Add yogurt and beat until combined. Add the other half of the dry ingredients and beat just until combined. Do not overmix – the less you mix, the lighter the cake will be. Fold in the chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan, and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack, then turn it out from the pan and let it cool completely.

I’ll be honest, breakfast wasn’t always my thing. For years, I relied on coffee (and maybe a toast on a good day) to fuel my mornings. The usual excuses - lack of time, laziness - we’ve all been there! But this lead to Those pre-breakfast slumps and mid-morning sugar cravings Finally, I decided to take charge! Now, I carve out just 10 minutes each morning to whip up a delicious, high-protein breakfast that keeps me going. And my most favourite Breakfast foods lately have been: Black Beans (Think Mexican Beans on Toast) Eggs (Think Spinach and Feta Eggs on Toast) Cottage Cheese (Think Cottage cheese with nuts, seeds and blueberries on toast,Adding cottage cheese to eggs is a great option too) There are endless meals you can create with these foods. I prefer to make those dishes which I can meal prep and have a few days at a stretch. Having a high protein meal after a workout in the morning keeps me full much longer and The energy I feel through the day is just amazing. So all moms out there,10 minutes of self-care can change your day! .Would you try any of these ? #proteinbreakfast #momsofinstagram #healthyeating #easymeals #mealprep #eggs #cottagecheese #blackbeans #aussiemums #selfcare #morningroutine

School holidays: fun for the kids, but sometimes overwhelming for us moms, right? One thing that saves my sanity is meal prepping! Here’s my secret: 1)10 minutes each night: After dinner, I spend just 10 minutes prepping ingredients for the next day. ⏰ 2)Control in the kitchen: Waking up with prepped ingredients gives me a sense of calm and control in the mornings. 3)Kitchen helpers: My appliances are my best friends during this time! I use them to cook a few things every other day. ‍ 4)Cook once, eat twice: We live by the “cook once, eat twice” rule. Leftovers are my lifesaver! 5)Dinner by 9 am gives me the Peace of mind I need… Having dinner prepped in the morning frees up the rest of the day from cooking and I can squeeze in Park playdates, walks, or last-minute activities without the stress. ‍♀️ That’s why I share 30-minute recipes that are healthy, delicious, and most importantly perfect for meal prep and freezing. Ditch the takeout and create delicious, healthy meals the whole family loves. ‍‍‍‍ #followforrecipes#checkoutherecipes#getyourmalprepon #30minmeals #checkoutherecipes #healthydinnerrecipes #mealprep ##schoolholidays #momlife #mealprep #easydinners #healthyrecipes #familyfun #stressfreemeals #timemanagement #kitchenhacks #leftovers #freezerfriendly #ditchtakeout #cookingathome #healthylifestyle

Best Bakery Style Blueberry Muffins.. But first Save and Share this Delicious Recipe These incredible blueberry muffins with crumb topping are moist, perfectly sweet and bursting with flavour. Usually make a batch of these just when the school holidays start.These stay fresh in the ref for at least 3 days or can go straight into the freezer. During school holidays ,My grocery bills are sky high by just buying endless snacks for the kids..Making these at home saves so much money and they are far better than the store bought ones and come in so handy when we host play dates etc.. I go one step further by adding a sugar crumb on top..its an additional 5 minutes of prep but sooo worth it.. They are truly delicious, and I hope you get a chance to bake these for yourself or your kids. Comment “Muffins” and I shall send you this recipe . If you make these amazing muffins tag me @kanikas__kitchen and I would love to see what you created. #blueberrymuffins #homemade #muffins #baking #easyrecipes #schoolholidays #termbreak #aussiemums #simplerecipes #budgetfriendly #betterthanstorebought #healthyrecipes #homechef #reels #healthydinnerrecipes🥘🥘 #weeklymeals #healthysnacks #snacktime #kidsrecipes

You’ve probably been there too.. I had my daughter when I had just turned 30.. It was easy for me to lose weight and stay like that..even after both my pregnancies Over the years, the combination of less sleep (due to life) and a lack of proper diet led to so much exhaustion and lethargy. Mistakes I made then which I wish I didn’t: 1)Skipping Breakfast: Breakfast was always just coffee then.This would lead to a big energy slump after lunch and dinner and I often reached out to junk to address those cravings. 2)Not eating enough good proteins and healthy fats:I thought I was eating healthy meals but I now realised my meals weren’t well balanced.I often felt hungry soon after my meals and that’s when I was reaching out for the unhealthy stuff 3) I did not prioritise taking out time for fitness and exercise then..I wish I did..I feel way more energetic and sleep much better because I exercise and walk at least 4 times a week now But its never to late to make a few healthy changes to our lifestyle and promote overall well being by enjoying consistent energy levels..Some days its easy to implement these than others..I guess thats ok 👌 Small achievable habits make all the difference 🙌 Do you relate to any of the above? #smallhabits #wellness #healthylifestyle #fitness #breakfast #dontskipmeals #highprotein#deliciousfood #nourishing #mumlife #sleep #dailylife #energylevels

A great recipe for a busy midweek..Save and Share🤩 I have grown up eating Rotis and Paranthas and I am so so happy that my kids love eating these too..Anytime ,really anytime. I love recreating my mum’s recipes that I have grown up eating but make them in a more nutritious way, to be able to pack in more protein and fibre in every meal.. I found a way to add more tofu into my kids diet by adding it in their everyday rotis and paranthas. They can never tell and the paranthas turn out so soft and so delicious I could easily have these by themselves. I really hope you give this recipe a go.Try packing it for lunch or even a hot breakfast on a weekend morning . Here is the recipe: Spinach and Tofu Paranthas 200 grams Spinach 3/3.5 cups of whole wheat flour 200 grams silken tofu salt 1 garlic clove minced 1 tsp cumin powder 1 tsp red chilli powder 1 tbsp oil. Method: Blend the spinach,Garlic and Tofu together to a puree.I did not require any water . Add the puree to flour along with the spices. Use this puree to make a soft dough. Add Oil and Knead the dough for a few minutes.Form a ball Cover and Rest the dough for 30 minutes. Take an inch of the dough and form a ball. Roll out slowly with plenty of flour into round discs ..about 1mm thick Cook the rolled dough on a hot pan on each side .Apply ghee while cooking on both sides to get soft paranthas. Enjoy these with a bowl of dal and yogurt. #healthyfood #midweekmeals #midweekdinner #easydinners #simpledinner #spinach #tofu #vegan #nutritious #protein #fibre #aussiemum #wholesomemeals #mumlife #easymeals
