Ground Turkey Taco Lettuce Wraps for a Healthy Dinner

You all know I love exploring and making healthy dishes. It all started because I wanted to lose weight and now it's more for a healthier lifestyle for a longer life.

Now, tacos are one of the most loved Mexican dishes, whether it's to remedy a hangover or for a quick hunger fix. The thing though is that it can be the opposite of healthy eating. But we all can't stay away from it, amirite? There's literally hundreds of taco recipes out there that made a healthier recipe for it, all to get the best of both worlds. There won't be any substitute for the real thing of course, but these recipes can still satisfy the palate.

Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

Ever since falling in love again with Everyday Italian by Giada de Larentiis on Food Network, I've tried replicating her garlic and olive oil pasta. But every time I do, the taste doesn't seem quite right. Although I think it's because I use Spaghetti made of quinoa so it could at least be healthy. And if you've cooked quinoa pasta, then you know if you're not careful, it could easily be a miss. I've had a couple of misses so of course pairing it with just olive oil and garlic doesn't really improve much on the taste.

A Very Healthy & Tasty Lunch

I love Pinterest and always go there to look for healthy recipes. It's my go-to website/app before I start listing down my grocery items for the week and of course it helps that recipes always look good there. Anyway, I found these two dishes there and since I love Asian food and healthy dishes, these immediately drew my attention - Japanese Quinoa Salad and Korean-Grilled Chicken Breast. Put them together and you have a tasty and healthy protein-packed Asian meal.

Summer Grilling

One of the things that Nick and I look forward to in the summers (and I think everyone else for that matter) is that we can finally go outside and grill. Summer can mean lots of parties and out of town trips that we let ourselves indulge in food, and then overeat. I mean this is the time that we attend hosted summer barbecue parties and what does this mean - lots and lots of red meat and burgers with a side of baked potatoes. I am feeling full just by typing that out.

Healthy Lunch Idea: Salmon & Quinoa

So I've been pretty much obsessed with quinoa ever since my trainer told me about it being full of protein and fiber. Such a perfect dish for anyone wanting to live a healthy-eat-clean lifestyle! It's easy to prepare and experiment in - add any kind of meat, some veggies and herbs and you have a fulfilling and heathy meal even on its own!

Carrot Cake In A Mug

So I saw a cheap clean eats video for a carrot cake in a mug and thought this is perfect for the carrot-cake loving me! I wouldn't have to sweat out grating a kilo of carrots to make a big cake when all I really want is a small piece, just enough to satisfy a craving. 

Salmon Cakes Over Kale Salad

New favourite salad. Zesty. And flavourful.

Kale was such a surprise for me. I've only ever used lettuce or mixed spring greens for my salad base and only knew about Kale when I started juicing. And even then, I'd buy Kale to juice or give to my bunny. It was a friend who said he used Kale for his salad and I thought maybe I could do the same, after all it's packed with protein that I need in my diet.
