Chocolate Dates Flax Brownies

It's pure cacao goodness in my world of chocolate brownies. Texture-wise, are they supposed be cakey or chewy or fudgy? What's your take on brownies?

A good balance of all three - cakey, chewy and fudgy at the same time, if I'm answering my own question above - somewhat similar to a dense moist cake.


Today, this 3-Ingredient Chocolate Dates Flax Brownies are easy to make and satisfy bitter chocolate brownie cravings in the best possible way (ok, I know. I could have just nibbled on pure dark chocolate bars to curb those cravings).


Tinned Fish Sardines Protein Bowl

 Are you a fan of tinned fish? I am. 

And I am so ready to stock them up this month, on Prime Day happening 6-7 October 2026, with exciting exclusive deals with Amazon Prime.

Tinned sardines, mackerel, trout, tuna (just to name a few) are convenient sources of protein and omega-3 fatty acids.

Ready to consume straight from the tin, you do not even have to cook it if short of time (workout snacks, anyone?). 

But if you prefer, it is also easy and fuss-free to roast/bake them in the oven with some ground spices e.g. curry powder and dried herbs.

My favorite go-to protein salad bowls can be easily done in minutes. Salad greens below then topped with tinned fish or steamed vegetables topped with tinned fish.

My pantry stocks the most tinned/canned sardines - which also happens to be my favorite tinned fish. If it is canned tuna, tinned albacore tuna usually my go-to (smaller fish lower in mercury contamination). Both albacore and yellowfin are excellent lean protein choices. 

Tinned mackerel is also nutritious and healthy  but compared to sardines and tuna, tinned mackerel is not always available in the grocery store or supermarkets.

Fortunately, with Amazon, it's now easier to get any variety of tinned fish, including tinned mackerel. It's more budget-friendly to buy tinned fish in bulk and they keep well in the pantry cabinet for some time. As Prime Day (6-7 October 2026) is just days away, make use of this chance to snatch some great deals and discount on tinned fish. It might be a good idea to join Prime (even as a trial) now to save big with exclusive deals on Prime Day; or on any other day, Prime benefits include FAST, FREE delivery.
