Spicy Daikon and Cucumber Salad
Not everything I make turns out good tasting but that doesn’t mean it goes straight into the garbage can. Instead, I see it as an opportunity to get creative and play with my food to see if I can transform it into something decent-tasting.

Broccoli for Peanut Butter Lovers
Okay, I think I’ve officially become a huge peanut butter fan. I cannot recall ever feeling such a strong craving for it before, but ever since I tried that amazingly creamy and decadent peanut butter-stuffed dates, it is like I’ve opened up a whole new chapter of peanut butter craving frenzy in my life.

Veggies in a Jiffy!
Photo by Martin_Cathrae Having vegetables with meals is an important cornerstone in embracing a healthy lifestyle.
