When the weather is not cooperating or I just want a quick and healthy side dish, broiled asparagus fits the bill perfectly. Broiled asparagus has a richer flavor than steamed or stir-fried one.

My name is Cassie and I’m absolutely addicted to rice paper rolls! Well, these chicken rice paper rolls to be precise. These light and fresh Vietnamese-inspired chicken summer rolls are just perfect for a healthy lunch or dinner. They’d also make a great appetiser if you’re expecting guests. I like to use store-bought rotisserie chicken for these rolls because it’s delicious and easy, but if you want to cook up some fresh shredded chicken that works too!...

On our weekly Mexican food outings (the ones where I got to order Beef Fajitas on special occasions), I often went in spurts, ordering the same entrée on repeat for a month straight. Mexican chicken tortilla soup (or as I tried to pronounce in my best 17-year-old limited Spanish sopa de tortilla con poyo) was such a chapter. At some point in my late teens, I started to become more health-conscious....

I have a very long list of recipe requests from readers, but haven’t been able to share most of them due to time constraints. Hopefully I will be able to share at least some of them from now on. This chilli prawns recipe is roughly adapted from the chilli chicken recipe on the blog except I haven’t deep fried the prawns here. This recipe also involves brining the prawns to give a soft tender texture and prevents them from turning rubbery or hard if cooked right....

This post is sponsored by Jennie-O. Our baby girl is 1 month old! ??? I can’t believe how time flies and, while I’m excited to see her achieve her milestones and start interacting with the world, I am also sad that soon that newborn phase will be over. I’ll probably wake up one day and realize I have a teenager, wondering how the heck did that happen… So even though I’m beyond exhausted and going on pretty much no sleep, I try to remind myself that I need to enjoy these days to the fullest!...

After a pumpkin cheesecake recipe earlier this week, I have to admit that a bok choy recipe – even a super easy garlic bok choy recipe – is a little anticlimactic. And if you haven’t tried bok choy before, it might sound intimidating or not very good. But, hear me out! As much as we all love our keto dessert recipes and comfort foods like low carb pizza and cheeseburger casserole, sometimes you just need a super simple meal or side dish....

Usually egg mayo sandwich is made without much flavoring, herbs etc. That’s a bit bland for our taste buds, so I use some herbs, garlic, pepper & chili flakes which really enhances the taste and flavor. It is good to consume these sandwiches within 2 hours of preparing as the eggs and mayo are unsafe for consumption after 2 hours unless refrigerated. These egg salad sandwiches are also great for evening snack or meal along with some tomato soup....

This eggplant rollatini recipe is an Italian classic that is full of flavor and a healthy dinner that’s easy to make ahead or prep. The rolls of eggplant with a cheesy spinach filling are baked together with marinara sauce and some more cheese.
