ith cooking, there are multiple ways of creating something. Down to the basics, cooking is
“Is there any greater pleasure in life than feasting on fruit to the sound of blowing wind?”
esentially a science. Figuring out the portions,
and the balances between what you’re adding, and the
that tastes devine, which is understandable, but the
flavors you add to whatever dish you create. For me, I
only way to get the fear out of the way is by actually
have always loved to cook, and have the been always
doing it! Whether its the most simplest dish, or the most
into the ways of cooking. I remember watching Martha
complicated. cooking is a handy skill to have. I would
Stewart cooking on the TV and since then I’ve always
say at least knowing how to make 5-10 of your favorite
wanted to make food. There are a lot of people who are
meals would be great. No one ever said you had to be
intimated by the kitchen to actually create some food 4

1 Big handful of spinach
the master at baking, or roasting, or whatever, just as long as you are making something thats healthy, and nutritious for you is what is important.
Above in the image, I made one
of the simplest things you could ever make, I call it the green goodness bowl. Its filled with vibrant greens, nutritous fruit, and healthy fats that keep
1 Banana 1/2 cup of frozen mango 1/2 cup of frozen pineapple 1 cup liquid of choice (or less depending on how thick you like your smoothies)
you full and satisfied until you’re next meal. The
Now with this recipe, all you need to do is throw
Recipe calles for:
the greens in the smoothie with a little liquid and
1 Tbsp of Almond butter (Or nut/seed butter of preference)
continue to blend. By blending the greens first you wont end up with little bits of spinach through the smoothie. Then add in the rest of the ingredients, blend, and enjoy either as a smoothie or as a smoothie bowl!

PUMPKIN S
ince its winter/fall time, I started to incorperate a alot of pumpkin into the things that I’ve been eating recently. Pumpkin is actually a great ingredient to add to things to make you feel fuller since it’s filled with a lot of fiber. Its’s also rich with Vitamin A (aka Beta-carotene) which is great for the body, it has a high water content, and
pairs well with many dishes, savory or sweet! With this pumpkin fudge I set out to make a healthier version of the fudge we all know and love. Its got pumpkin, dates, and natural peanut butter? How simple is that? Creating this recipe was somewhat easy. I come from an Arabic background which means I traditionally eat a lot of food that is ethnic to where I come from, so dates are a great natural sweetner used instead of the highly processed cane sugar. I start out by pitting out the date seeds, and adding them to either a high speed blender or a food processor, then adding a 1/2 cup of pure pumpkin puree, and 1 cup of nut/seed butter of choice, blend /process it together, and you end up with your fudge. Spread it out in an 8x8 baking tray, and leave in the freezer over night. Once it has set, cut it into bite size pieces and enjoy! These are hearty, decadent, and very nutritous.
