I’m a big fan of Thai food, but going to restaurants and ordering in can get expensive so I decided to create my own Thai experience. Thai Rice Wraps are much healthier than the ones you order but they still have that delicious peanut sauce that everyone loves.  These Thai Rice Wraps with Peanut Sauce make a great portable meal. This recipe is gluten free and calls for tamari, but if you don’t have any tamari you can use regular soya sauce. Thai Rice Wraps With Peanut Sauce make a great portable meal if you don’t slice them in half.  If you are a sauce lover like me I would suggest making a double batch of the sauce for dipping.  READ MORE

Congee (or Jook) is a comforting rice porridge that is perfect for the cold winter months. Since the rice in the congee breaks down in the pot for hours it is really easy to digest, therefore, it is wonderful meal to give to someone with digestive upset. I like to top my congee with chicken, green onions, sesame oil and tamari but you can use this recipe as a base for seafood or vegetarian congee. Congee is traditionally made in Asian cultures with white rice, but I use brown rice in this recipe to add nutritional value. READ MORE

Here’s a healthy twist on an old classic: Spaghetti (Squash) and “Meat”balls. Today was the first time I made anything like this and it was so good. Plus afterwards I felt full of energy rather than full of pasta.

I found this recipe for the “meat”balls and adapted it from another recipe I came across (Click Here to check out this recipe). Also I should note there are a lot of steps here and the dish requires a bit of multi-tasking. However, if you aren’t up for a big production, buy the marinara sauce at the grocery store and this meal suddenly becomes one of the easiest things ever!  READ MORE
