Visual Food Log: Recap
One week again, I started this small project in attempt to give you a glimpse of how I eat in real life by taking photos of the food I eat and sharing with you some thoughts on how I choose what to eat at any given time of the day. The purpose of this project [...]
Food Challenge: Zucchini
Image by Food Thinkers (Flickr) For this week’s food challenge, instead of exploring a new food, I decided to try making something that I never enjoyed in the past — zucchini. I’ve always found that zucchini had no flavour and mushy in texture – in short, just plain nasty! Sometimes I wonder if it was [...]
Visual Food Log: Day 7
Wow! I can’t believe it is already day 7 of my visual food log project (it feels like I just started not too long ago!). 8:45am: Yogurt with frozen blueberries and a scant 1/4 cup of Kashi Go Lean Cereal. Tweet This Post
Easy Food Swaps for Better Health
Anyone who has made habit changes before can tell you this: the first step always seems the hardest. And this certainly holds true when it comes to making changes for a healthy lifestyle. If you feel like that’s you –having not a single clue on how to actually start improving your diet– there’s no need [...]
Visual Food Log: Day 6
Vancouver is gloomy and rainy again. The weather is never nice and sunny on the days when I have to wake up extra early for my 8am class at UBC. Sigh. Anyways, there’s my rant of the day, onward to today’s food log! (Curious about how I’ve eaten in previous days? Find out here.) 6:00am: [...]
Visual Food Log: Day 5

(Although the bowls look like they are [...]
Visual Food Log: Day 4
Hello everyone! It’s the beginning of a brand new week and it is already day 4 of my visual Food Log Project! 9:15am: Oatmeal with Mung beans and sweet potato, sweetened with a spoonful of condensed milk — creamy and delicious (and nutritious!) breakfast. While I was cooking my oatmeal, I had a Medjool date [...]
Visual Food Log: Day 3
Another beautiful (yet windy) in Vancouver and it is Day 3 of the Visual Food Log Project! 8:30am: The main dish is leftover spinach and tomato stew with beans and barley. On the side, I also had a baked egg with a tiny bit of Parmesan cheese and topped off with some salsa. Tweet This [...]
Food Challenge: Kale
Kale is a stellar vegetable. It is a dark leafy green that is rich in iron and calcium and packed with a whole lot of other good-for-you nutrients, works great as the body’s natural detoxifier. Canada’s Food Guide recommends that we should have a wide variety of vegetables in our diet, especially aiming to have [...]
