Yogurt Marinated Grilled Chicken with Basmati Rice

Yogurt Marinated Grilled Chicken with Tzatziki Sauce
This grilled chicken recipe is included in my meal plan pretty much every week. I marinate the chicken on Sunday and keep it in the fridge for whenever I’m in need of a quick, healthy meal. It’s a very simple recipe so you can pair it with just about anything from a simple salad, rice or
Basmati Rice with Raisins (Pulao)
The perfect Basmati Rice…. now that could be a little “tricky”. The difference between “okay” and “perfection” is that perfectly cooked Basmati Rice must be FLUFFY. It should also be fragrant, a little sweet, with a ton of flavors.
Vietnamese Grilled Chicken Salad
Time to take it easy on the stomach and “detox” after a whole weekend of ribs, steaks, burger and everything that comes with it :/ Memorial day weekend can be tough on the body. I spent the whole weekend hiking and kayaking with 3 boys, needless to say all they wanted to eat was burgers
Cilantro Shrimp Fried Rice
I love this dish. Takes about 5-7 minutes to make and is perfect for work-lunch (yep, I’m eating this at my desk as I type this post) or a light dinner. Since it doesn’t require a lot of oil, eggs or various sauces like your usual fried rice, it’s pretty healthy. It’s super light and

Spinach Lentil Soup (Daal)
This is one my favorite ways to cook daal, lentil. It requires very little prep work and can be made in big batches. I love serving this as a side or a main dish. I also love taking this to work for lunch, it heats up beautifully. With the spinach and turmeric, it’s super healthy
Cranberries and Pistachio Pastry
This was a pleasant accidental success. I was going for escargot chocolat-pistache, cuz I can’t get my recent trip to Paris out of my head, but totally messed it up. The dough wasn’t moist, I used the wrong type of dough. But it made for some delicious crispy treats 🙂
Spicy Shrimp and Bok Choy
As a full time employee, who loves home cooked meals, I am always looking for recipes that are quick and easy…and healthy… AND delicious! I kid you not, this is one of the easiest and quickest recipes EVER. And might I add, it’s super healthy too 🙂
