REGINE CAFE

                          I love all kinds of food, but breakfast must be my favourite meal of the day & I am always on the lookout for new restaurants that serve brunch. I heard about this little gem from some friends and I decided to try it out. Whether you have the Mish Mash (Omelet of the day – I was lucky to have it with mushrooms, goat cheese & caramelized onions) or a little bit of everything plate – both featured on the cover photo- the food is simply…

CELLULITE NO MORE!

Women have a misconception about what cellulite really is and that is the reason why we are not able to get rid of it! Before I researched it, I was in that same boat – thinking that cellulite was associated with fat, but it’s far from the truth. Even very skinny women can have cellulite. I decided to share this news with you ladies to save you from spending money on products & treatments that simply don’t work! I won’t bore you with the details and just get down to what you really need to know: 1- What is cellulite?…

Marché 27

                  If you’re a fan of tartar, you will surely love Marché 27! Salmon, tuna, beef….you get to pick your favourite protein & your toppings! This will surely satisfy your hunger & taste buds. I recommend the sweet potato fries to complement your meal :) My favourite is salmon tartar either Japanese or Asian style. And of course, a glass of Pino – calls for a awesome night out with girlfriends or a romantic dinner with the man! The place is small, therefore it’s best to reserve a spot for larger groups. They…

BUTTER CHICKEN ANYONE?

Yes, I’m a foodie & proud of it! Indian is definitely at the top of my list – it just wakes up my taste buds & keeps me wanting more. Out of all the delicious Indian dishes, butter chicken must be my favorite. I’ve been telling myself that I will try to make it forever, but I always thought it to be too complex to make. Well, I was wrong. I looked up the easiest recipe I could find online & got busy in the kitchen. Here is the recipe I used : http://allrecipes.com/recipe/easy-indian-butter-chicken/ And here are the ingredients: I…

SALARY NEGOCIATION

  There may be countless reasons why we leave one job in pursuit of another; career aspirations, passion, interest, re-location, etc. However, for the most part, salary is at the top of the list. Sure, you want to advance your career, but salary & advancement most often go hand in hand. Once you have found ‘the one’ & the interview process is finalized, HR or hiring manager will most likely ask you the magic question: what is your salary expectation? Now, let there be no confusion, if you are being asked this question, you most likely already got the job.…

RICOTTA & SPINACH TRIANGLES

I decided to combine a few recipes of spanakopita and replace feta by ricotta cheese (which is more rich in protein) and created this very simple & healthy snack. Here is what I used to make about 10 triangles: Boiled half a package of fresh spinach (about 150 grams) for 10 seconds Ricotta cheese (about 150 grams) 1 egg Salt & pepper Phyllo pastry – cut out each sheet in 3 strips & used double strips for each triangle Mixed spinach, ricotta, egg, salt & pepper together & stuffed each of the double strips & rolled them into triangles – Baked for 15…
