Who would want to turn on the stove or the oven during the hot summer days? I’m definitely not one of the exceptions, so I’ve been making a lot of salads lately. And, recently I’ve came across a very interesting Japanese cookbook that contains many simple and classic dish. Among them, the Eggplant and Spring Onion Salad really caught my eye and I just had to try it out!
Baked egg, rice and meatloaf…you must be wondering how these three components can fit together right? Oh, let me tell you just how well they complement each other to create a seriously delicious dish!
Corn. This one word that pretty much sums up what I’ve been obsessed with lately. For the month of July, I was crazy over all the sweet berries available. But this month, as the local corn are getting shipped into my local grocery stores by the truckload, I’m going nuts over fresh corn! As BC local corn is just starting to pop up in the grocery stores in my neighbourhood and I’ve been grabbing every opportunity I can to pick up fresh corn each day and savour the fresh sweet corn.
I love macaroni and cheese, but I definitely do not enjoy the stick-to-the-waist effect that comes with it. A traditional macaroni and cheese can pack up to 1000 calories per serving because each bite is smothered in cream, butter and cheese. And if you choose to make mac and cheese from the pre-packaged boxes, then you’re also gulping down an overwhelming amount of sodium and chemicals into the body. However, that doesn’t mean you have to avoid this classic dish, you can easily turn it into a healthy comfort food by making simple changes.
