What’s going on!
I threw a small 1st birthday gathering for Olive last weekend. It was an Olive theme, so her smash cake was an Olive, and the whole menu was planned around the ingredient; olives. It truly takes a village! My mom helped me with half of the menu, decor, and set up. My mother-in-law helped with the prep & set up. And all of the boys ran the errands!
This was the first time Olive was introduced to sugar so I thought she was going to smash the cake and dive in head first. But nope! She was graceful & so sweet about it. She didn’t want to ruin the beautiful cake!
Here was what was on the menu…
Hummus crudete board, with the world best hummus by my mom. I think 6 people left with the written recipe!
Tortellini pasta skewers, I shared this recipe a few months back!
Whipped goats cheese dip with roasted olives and olive bread.
Greek quinoa kale salad with artichokes.
Persian potato salad, my moms recipe!
Persian vegetarian dolmas, my moms recipe!
Simple greens salad with my homemade salad dressing
Sandwiches picked up by Capriottis!
Please leave a comment if you want any of the recipes & I will share them in the coming weeks Substack emails!
What I am making this week!
Tortellini pasta salad for picky eaters!
This recipe is incredibly versatile. Use any tortellini available to you, and feel free to make it meatless or with meat.
Not a fan of salami? Swap it for oven-roasted turkey breast, chicken breast, or ham.
If you want to go meatless, simply omit the deli meat and add a can of drained and rinsed chickpeas for protein.
Serve it chilled, great for a park or meal prep ready to go in the fridge!
What I’m obsessed with.
Superhuman Activations for mental health
I got a little anxiety attack on the morning of Olive’s birthday party. And I truly couldn’t control my emotions. But luckily, it only lasted for 30 minutes, and to get out of my headspace, I listened to a Superhuman activation.
Activations are a blend of guided visualizations, emotional music & motivational affirmations you can do anywhere (while cooking, cleaning, driving, grocery shopping or skincare). It isn’t “meditation” but rather compliments your life as it seamlessly
I am a full paying customer & have been for 4 years. I tagged them so many times, they are offering you 100% off 1-month Superhuman Meditations monthly subscription + 2-week free trial (total 6 weeks free membership). The code only works on their website, not through Apple App Store sign-ups or Google Play Store!

Ok, let’s get to the new recipe!👇🏼
New recipe!
My high protein cheesecake bites will be your new favorite treat for the summer! Here’s why!
It’s a healthy alternative to traditional cheesecake! Without the loaded sugar, refined flour and processed fat.
It’s gluten free! I use almond flour to make it suitable for those following a gluten free diet.
Made in small portions! I love this because it’s a quick bite to eat, and no mess of cutting or uneven portions.
Can easily be customized! You can add a dark chocolate drizzle, nuts, crushed Oreos or whatever your favorite toppings are on top!
It’s easy to make! I don’t call myself a baker, and this is truly such an easy recipe, even the most novice cooks can make it.
Creamy & luxurious! The cottage cheese makes it creamy and decadent!
