Whenever I know I am going to have a busy week I try to cook in bulk on the weekend so I’ve got enough food to keep me going for a few days. I usually go for simple recipes though, like most things I cook. I don’t like overcomplicating things. This is one of my go-to-salads…
Light Meals
Mushroom and tempeh san choy bow
I am not quite sure where this dish actually originates from. Some websites say it’s Chinese and others say it’s from Southeast Asia. Oh well, if someone finds out, please let me know! Anyway, all I know is that this dish is normally made with some sort of minced meat. But my version is obviously…

Raw Pad Thai Salad
Over the last year or so I have become more and more interested in the world of raw foods. It is such a crazy concept but at the same time it makes so much sense. I even thought about going on a 30-day raw challenge, but I am not sure if I am ready for…
