Seaweed Sushi Bowl

If there is one thing in common between myself and my husband it is that we both love sushi! I mean a lot. 


I have 4 kids and 3 of them gives me the eeeek with the sound of sushi but thankfully my second child (7) is a big fan of the Japanese culture after a project he did in school. This makes me so happy and proud that we both can put some Japanese music on YouTube in the morning an listen to it all day, then can stand for over 10  minutes adoring a cherry blossom tree. How adorable is he?


Now in question to the sushi, I have never made it. It’s way out of my league but cooking some rice and slicing avocado is my nature 🙂

I hope you enjoy this recipe and let me know if you try it by tagging me on social media @everydaycookingwithmira.

Do you use seaweed?

Last week somebody asked me a question regarding her weight. She has been eating clean and healthy yet her weight isn’t dropping so here is my answer:

Haven’t Changed Anything in Your Diet But Getting Fatter?

You are positive that you’re not eating more food or “junkier” food but you’re still gaining weight.

Is this possible?

Yes!  You are NOT crazy!

And here’s why.





I am almost 4 years postpartum and still on the road to being the weight my body wants to so do not pressure yourself, let your body heal on its term. There’s more to it than just the scale.  Your job is to feed it right including emotionally, spiritually and mentally.

Things like:

  • Ageing;
  • Hormones;
  • Sleep


Funny things happen the older we get.  People commonly experience lower energy levels, more digestive discomfort, weight gain, as well as aches and pains.


The good thing is that this is very common and not your fault one bit.


Your thyroid is the master controller of your metabolism and can be a massive contributor to your weight gain.  There are several things that can affect it and throw it off course.


Pro Tip: Talk to your doctor about having your hormones tested.  Oh, and try the thyroid-friendly recipe that I created for you at the end of this post.





It’s true!  Lack of sleep is linked with weight gain.

Whoever thought you can sleep off your weight?








There are lots of factors that can affect your weight, even if you’re eating the same way you always have.  Ageing, hormones, stress, and sleep are all interconnected to each other and can all contribute to weight gain, even if you’re eating the same way you always have.
