Life's a little better with sprinkles 🌈 . I'm going through a bad time these days and trying to find joy in little things, as always. There's nothing quite like some good old milk and cookies combo (or chai biscuit) to lift up my mood specially if you add some sprinkles to the mix. I've been enjoying Peek Freans Rio lately. Rio Birthday Sprinkles 'n' Creme variant is so light and crispy and the creme and sprinkles inside are absolutely delicious! Saad loves it too! I can't wait to try this combo with my nephews and nieces! ✨ . Do you prefer chai biscuit or milk and cookies? I'm trying to avoid caffeine so it's milk and cookies for me these days! 😊 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #milkandcookies #chaibisket #chaibiskut #chaibiscuit #milk #cookies #sprinkles #chai #sprinklesomelove #sprinklecookies #sprinkled #sprinklesmoment #sprinklekindness #sprinklelove #sprinklejoy #sprinkledwithlove #joyinlittlethings #creativepakistan #karachibloggers #PakistaniBlogger #pakistanifoodbloggers #karachifoodbloggers #pakistanifoodblogger #karachifooddiaries #PeekFreansRio #RioBirthday @peekfreansofficial

Turkey is home to some of the most beautiful mosques in the world. It won't be wrong to call it the "City of Mosques" as you will find a mosque in every corner of Istanbul. It has a total of 3,113 mosques, maximum in Turkey! 🕌 . Happy Friday! ✨ . Head over to my blog www.lilacprose.com to learn more about Istanbul and read more of my travelogues!

I'm really particular about keeping separate chopping boards for meat and separate ones for fruits and vegetables as using the same one for everything can spread germs and cause various diseases. I'm also particular about keeping my chopping boards clean. However, using dishwashing liquids or soaps can weaken and damage surface wood fibers on cutting boards. In order to disinfect and clean my wooden surfaces, I wipe them instead with full-strength white vinegar. . The acetic acid in vinegar is a great disinfectant, effective against harmful bugs such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus. . When wooden cutting surfaces require not just disinfecting but deodorizing as well, spreading some baking soda over it and then spraying on undiluted white vinegar does the trick! Let the baking soda and vinegar foam and bubble for five to ten minutes, then wipe with a cloth dipped in clean cold water and say hello to chopping boards that are as good as new! .

"Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right." - Oprah Winfrey ✨ I've learnt so much in 2018, gone through phases of illness that have taught me to be grateful and practice gratitude on a daily basis, especially being grateful for good health. . I can't wait to take those lessons and implement them to become better and grow as a human being. I'm grateful for 2018 for all the good things and the bad ones too because they, at the end of the day, help us appreciate all that's good, right? . On that note, here's best of 2018 and I'm looking forward to creating and sharing inspiring stories and content with my InstaFam in 2019! . What was the biggest lesson you've learnt in 2018? Do let me know in the comments below. I'd love to know! .

"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever." - Jacques Yves Cousteau . 🌊 . The sea has definitely cast its spell on me. I've lived near the sea my entire life and only recently have moved away after I got married. As a kid, I used to love watching the Little Mermaid and used to wish to become one myself. That did not happen but my love for the sea and all of its bounties...the shore, seashells, sand, sun and the sea breeze...never diminished. . ☀️ . It's amazing how certain places become a part of your being and fill you up with nostalgia everytime you visit it or merely think about it. . 🐚 . Do you have a similar place in mind that holds a special place in your heart? Let me know in the comments below! . 🏖️ .

Winter season brings with it this intense craving for Chinese food for me so I made Chicken Shashlik using Food Fusion's recipe and Shangrila Seasonings and a sauce to go with it. Plus mama in law made vegetable fried rice and a perfect meal was served to bring some warmth to these chilly days! I've tried this recipe several times before and it always turns out amazing and everyone loved it! Here's how you make Chicken Shashlik: Ingredients: Boneless Chicken Cubes ½ Kg Ginger/ Garlic 1 Tablespoon Salt 1 Teaspoon Red Chili ½ Tablespoon Coriander ½ Tablespoon Turmeric ¼ Teaspoon Garam Masala ¼ Teaspoon Shangrila Vinegar 1 Tablespoon Shangrila Soya Sauce 1 Tablespoon Bell Pepper Tomato 1 Onion 1 Shashlik Sticks Sauce: Tomato Ketchup ½ Cup Rosemary ½ Teaspoon Black Pepper 1 Teaspoon Salt to taste Chinese Salt ¼ Teaspoon Water ½ Cup Directions: Cut vegetables in cubes. In a bowl add chicken with Shangrila vinegar and Shangrila Soya Sauce, ginger garlic paste and all the spices. Marinate it for 1 hour. Cut the bell pepper, tomato and onion in square shape. Assemble the chicken and veggies on shashlik sticks In a frying pan heat 2-3 tablespoon of oil and place your sticks. Keep turning the sides so all the sides are cooked evenly. (Do not overcook the chicken should remain tender and juicy) In a saucepan add ketchup, water, salt, black pepper and rosemary, cook sauce for 2-3 minutes. And voila...a perfect dish for the winter season is ready to serve! FYI...I doubled all the ingredients to increase the quantity. Also I used mixed herbs instead of rosemary in the sauce. I hope you enjoy this recipe. Do share a photo and tag me if you try it out! 🍽️ .

"Climb the mountain not to plant your flag, but to embrace the challenge, enjoy the air and behold the view. Climb it so you can see the world, not so the world can see you." - David McCullough Jr. . 🏔️ . 11th December is International Mountain Day and I wanted to commemorate it to raise awareness regarding mountains and their importance. It's strange that in spite of their magnificence they're often overseen in terms of their significance. I guess we do tend to be oblivious to what's obvious! . 🌄 . "MountainsMatter" is the theme chosen for this year’s celebration of International Mountain Day. Even though they are mentioned in the 2030 Agenda, mountains are still often forgotten. Considering the crucial role they play in providing key ecosystem goods and services to the planet and their vulnerability in the face of climate change, we need to step up and raise attention to mountains. - Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations . 🏞️ . Did you know that out of the top 100 mountains of the world, 30 are in Pakistan! This sheer fact makes Pakistan a paradise for mountaineers! . 🏔️.🇵🇰.🏔️ . I would love to visit all 30 of these mountains! Have you been to any of them? . 🇹🇷 . P.S. This post is also a throwback to Turkey where this photo was taken on our way to Cappadocia and I'm so grateful for some of the most stunning views I got to witness along the way! 🙏🏼 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #MountainsMatter #Hiking #InternationalMountainDay #FAO #InternationalMountainDay2018 #Mountains #PakistaniBlogger #PakistaniBlog #KarachiBlogger #KarachiBloggers #UN #Mountain #MountainsPhoto #Mountain_World #MountainPhoto #ProudPakistan #Cappadocia #CappadociaTurkey #TBT #tbt📷 #ThursdayThoughts #Views #ThrowbackThursday #Ecosystem #ProudPakistani #Ecosystem #CreativePakistan @unenvironment
