Spaghetti Chicken Meatballs

Another classic made healthy! This is not your quick and easy weeknight meal. A good spaghetti sauce demands time, there is no real way around it. I’d say the more time, the better. But I managed to make this one in less than 3 hours, and it turned out pretty good. For the ground chicken [...]

Miso Soup

This is what was for [very late] supper tonight. Too tired to write at this time. I just finished eating and I am going to bed now. I shall update this entry tomorrow. Next day update… OK, so here is how to make this soup. Really easy, this will takes pretty much only as long [...]

Spinach Strawberry Balsamic Salad

Tonight’s supper was supposed to involve eggs. I had planned on making omelets, wrap them in a tortilla and grill them somehow. But I just didn’t feel them. I didn’t have a clear vision in my mind, so I ended up making this salad instead. I know, not even remotely close to the original plan, [...]

Pasta e Fagioli (Pasta Fazool)

I don’t know how many times my dad told me that story. For most of his life, he’s worked for Italians. There was this one night when he got invited to a “traditional” family reunion. Italians being what they are, there was food at that reunion. Loads of food. Traditional Italian Food! So my dad [...]

Healthy Hamburger and Fries

Healthy? Hell yeah! Well, except for maybe the bun… I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s almost impossible to find a decent hamburger bun that is made with whole grains. At least, it is around here. So I settled for this “enriched” plain flour Italian bun. The only real healthy alternative was packaged buns made [...]

Quick Chicken and Leftover Veggie Pasta

I had some leftover Roasted Cauliflower, as well as a few slices of Aubergines, so I decided to use them in a quick pasta dish. While my pasta was cooking, I diced a chicken breast, cut a few florets out of my broccoli and sliced up a handful of mushrooms. Then I quickly browned the [...]

Hazelnut Crusted Pangasius Fillet

This is what was on the menu tonight. It was my first time eating Pangasius and I have to say that it is going on my list of regulars. It has a very subtle taste and its flesh is very soft, almost creamy, yet it holds very well together. The subtle taste of hazelnuts went [...]

Banana, Date and Walnut Muffins

As part of my Protein Bar Replacement Experiment, I really like to make those to bring to work as an afternoon snack. They contain no sugar whatsoever, other than that from the whey protein and fruits. Their taste is really good, but still, I’m not 100% satisfied with the results that I am getting. Still, [...]

Breakfast!

I recently happened to fall on a recipe for Oatmeal Protein Pancakes on the Net. I didn’t keep the link, but it was extremely easy to memorize, so I decided to give them a try this morning. Well, I am sold. The texture is good and moist, with a little bit of a crunch coming [...]

Walnut Crusted Chicken Fingers

I love chicken fingers. Really, I do! I got inspired this week by a recipe I found on the Net, which used walnuts and whole wheat flour to bread the fingers. I pretty much replicated what I remembered of that recipe, but it wasn’t what I would call a success. I think it still needs [...]

Teriyaki Experience – Home Made Version

This has got to be my favorite food to eat when spending a day at the mall. So simple, so quick, so full of flavor, so affordable and so very healthy (when you go easy on the teriyaki sauce, that is!). I recently decided to try my hand at duplicating the “experience” at home. I [...]

Spinach and Feta Quinoa Salad

Tonight I tried another of Kevin’s recipes. Unfortunately, I think I really messed that one up. I must’ve misunderstood the lemon part, for I find the only thing you could taste, really, was lemon. My understanding was that the recipe says to use the juice and zest of one whole lemon. I felt it was [...]
