Crunchy Asparagus with Soy-Ginger Drizzle
Asparagus is in season! In the past I have been stir-frying them, or roasting them. But to start off the asparagus season this year, I have decided to try something a little different. I found an recipe from Bon Appétit that sounded so delicious that I had to make it right away. Good thing I [...]
Food Challenge: Canned Sardines
Okay, to be honest, I had always thought that canned sardines would smell extremely fishy and most likely taste ten times more fishy. But boy was I wrong! The canned sardines smelled fine (by that, I mean they did have a slightly fishy smell, but it was a lot less than I had expected, and [...]

March is National Nutrition Month!
Each year the American Dietetic Association launches a nutrition education and information campaign in March. This year’s theme is called “Nutrition From the Ground Up”. I truly believe that to embrace a wholesome, healthy lifestyle is to learn how to make smarter food choices and to prepare my own meals so I gain total control [...]
Skip The Pop, Sip Yourself Thin!
As we all know by now, carbonated drinks are a very poor beverage option. They are liquid candy, merely just empty calories (which means, they only give you energy without contributing any other nutritional value at all).
