I’ve been mulling over easy healthy recipes that I can throw together any day – even tonight. You can say that staying indoors and cooking every meal has really gotten me desperate for new and creative ideas. So here’s one that gut-friendly, protein packed and only requires store cupboard ingredients. I sent this recipe over…
Tuna Shakshuka (Keto, Low Carb)
Healthy Cashew Shrimp (Oil Free)
I recently found a new way to make my frozen shrimp taste better! If you marinade shrimp in a little pinch of sugar and water it will restore the shrimp to its original plumpness and juiciness. Strange science isn’t it?
Chilled Soba Noodles with Walnut Dipping Sauce (Kurumi Soba)
Kumuri Soba Noodles have TWO dippings sauces that are combined at the table, with the crushed walnuts.
Peanut Butter Chickpea Bars (Vegan)
(Variation 1: Melted chocolate spread on top) I walked towards the nut butter aisle. Of course I would know where it is. My eyes immediately scanned the rows: almond butter (absolutely divine), peanut butter (my comfort food), cashew butter, tahini….my hand instinctively went forward to turn the jar to the labels. I only like unsalted,…
Dark Chocolate Almond Energy Balls (Raw)
Its been a revelation for me that you can make tasty bliss balls WITHOUT expensive dates. I can make this often with store cupboard ingredients AND it is so nutritious.
Perfect Roasted Vegetables (Broccoli, Zucchini, Potatoes)
It’s been one week since I got engaged. It’s been one week since Zoe and I were able to share the joy of being engaged. Sometimes I stare at my ring in disbelief that this IS real. I had found that special someone in my life, just like my twin did. WE both get questions…
Gluten Free Banana Oat Waffles/Pancakes
I’ve always loved waffles. Growing up, my parents would take us out on Saturday afternoons to these fancy restaurants where they served waffles for you on the spot. I would line up with my dad as he asked the chef to make a waffle for him, for me and my sister. We would watch fixated…
Vegan ROYCE Chocolate (Copycat Recipe)
What is Nama Chocolate? Nama Chocolate is a type of Chocolate Ganache made traditionally from fresh cream and cocoa, hence the name, “Nama” which is Japanese for “raw” referring to the “fresh” ingredients. Since it is made with “fresh” cream, Nama chocolate cannot be kept as long as other chocolates, and tastes best straight…

[Vegan] Kung Pao White Bean Stirfry
There is seriously something so daunting about cooking with a can of beans. I often find myself rummaging through my cupboard to find ingredients, only to my dismay, reach for a can of tuna/salmon or a bag of rice noodles instead of the beans. Occasionally I like to make hummus or make bean soup, but…

[Oil-Free] Baked Curry Tofu
My sister walked out. She looked stunning. The choker neck dress with detailed beading, paired with the beautiful chiffon-like skirt. She reminded me of an oriental princess. It was such a tender moment, as a twin sister, to see your other half getting ready for the big day. I was even more grateful for my…
