Hello there!🙏 It’s small biz Saturday & I’ Hello there!🙏 It’s small biz Saturday & I’ve been busy working on some malas to add to my Etsy shop (link for shop in bio). Well doing that, & making French toast, prying cat toys from our puppy’s mouth, dishes, laundry, & finally getting the Valentine’s & Purim decorations boxed up for next year.🤣 Ya know #momlife stuff. Hope you are having a beautiful day!

Happy Friday folks! We made it to the weekend - pe Happy Friday folks! We made it to the weekend - perhaps not unscathed, but we have arrived nonetheless. Got a bit adventurous this morning, made a Za’atar & kalamata olive challah. The first thing the twins said was “Cool!” followed by, “You did make a plain one too right?”🤣😂 I know they are thinking about their Saturday morning french toast. Speaking of sweet stuff I just treated myself to a dress from @dasistudio (handmade ethical clothing) & I can not wait for it to come in. They have gorgeous stuff so you’re gonna want to check them out.💕 Hope you have a wonderful weekend ahead.

Homemade pita & hummus for lunch.🌱 Made a big b Homemade pita & hummus for lunch.🌱 Made a big batch of the pita so I could freeze some - we go through it so fast around here! I’ve got to get a photo of the hummus plain without all the “extras” on it so I can post the recipe up on the blog - it’s one you’re gonna want to try. Today I topped it with mushrooms sautéed with cumin, garlic, & onion powders, as well as olive tapenade & tahini sauce - was so good. One of my favorite things to do as a mom has always been reading with my kids. The twins & I are almost finished reading Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. I somehow missed the whole Roald Dahl boat as a kid - I couldn’t get enough Enid Blyton at that time. I have to say Dahl is a little bit on the freaky side for me lol. I’m enjoying his books (we recently finished James & the Giant Peach), but also a bit creeped out at the same time. Is it just me? Now off to read my own bedtime story. Currently reading Mother Land by @leahfranqui & I am loving it! Night loves!❤️ #hummus #pita #israelifood #hummuslover #vegan #vegetarian #plantbased #pitabread #consciouseating #mindfuleating #highvibrationalfoods #healthylifestyle #healthyfood #breadmaking #breadmaker #womeninfood #femalechef #femalechefs #chefmom #chefmommy #lifewithkids
Toor dal (split pigeon peas) for lunch today. I’m going to have to post the recipe because I really enjoyed this. No onions to chop & it’s quick. Topped it with my fav pickle & it made me oh so happy. Dal always makes me happy.🤣 It’s only Tuesday & I feel like I’m behind already. How ‘bout you? Got to cram in everything from the week’s to-do list in 3 days!😅 Wish me luck!

Happy Meatless Monday friends!🌱 Have I got a tr Happy Meatless Monday friends!🌱 Have I got a treat for you, stove top Shells & Cheeze - you’re not going to believe this one has no dairy! Recipe is up on my blog. Follow the link in bio under “recipes” or “blog” if you want to give it a go. Can you believe it’s March already? My week got off to a good start as I shipped out one of my handmade malas (my first Etsy sale) today to its new home - pretty stoked about it. Here’s to a fantastic week ahead!

When you support small business, you’re supporti When you support small business, you’re supporting a dream.💕✨ I recently opened an Etsy shop (link in bio). “Salted Karma” by The Masala Girl (search The Masala Girl on Etsy) is where my love for using malas in my meditation practice & my passion for upcycling jewelry meet. I would love if you would take a moment to check out my store. If you could also be so kind as to like my store as well, it would really help with my rankings - meaning my malas will be seen by more people. Mala making is part of my meditation practice, so I will typically be adding additional pieces every week or so. If you are a small biz owner - please tell me a bit about what you do in the comments (even if I know), let’s share the love & support each other! ***special thank you to @ynotgrafix for creating my store banner! Thank you for all your love & support!💕📿 Have an amazing weekend!

Happy Purim!🎉 Chag Purim Sameach! The twins & Happy Purim!🎉 Chag Purim Sameach! The twins & I had a lot of fun making this challah today! I think we will be finding glittery sugary bits around the kitchen for weeks!🤪🤡 **natural dye candies✨ Wishing you a wonderful weekend ahead.

Chag Purim Sameach to all who are celebrating!🎉 Chag Purim Sameach to all who are celebrating!🎉 We started off the day with tahini & banana smoothies - sweetened with dates & a dash each of vanilla, cinnamon, & cardamom. Then had a blast making Ozen Aman (Hamentashen) - not the easiest cookie to master, but we are getting there. You gotta really pinch those suckers so they don’t open up on you! Twins had their Hebrew class as well today. They made masks & listened to the story of brave Queen Esther. As challenging as holidays have been this past year, I think they have given the kiddos (and me too) something to look forward to. Have a great night!XO #purim #purim2021 #hamantaschen #jewishholidays #jewishholiday #jewishfood #traditons #family #lifewithkids #lifewithtwins #twins #twinsofinstagram #twinmom #twinmomlife #bakingwithkids #consciousparenting #mindfulparenting #mindfulmom #mindfulmotherhood #beautyinchaos #motherhoodthroughinstagram #momlife #momlifeisthebestlife #chefmom
