More yogurt in the house inspired this healthy snack. Based atop passion fruit herbal jello, these parfaits were layered (not in this order) with mini clementines, crushed toasted walnuts, diced apples, raspberry & strawberry yogurt, dried cranberries, crushed honey oats cereal, and a homemade apple sauce with a spicy kick.

J// Cơm Sườn Xả

Pork chops marinated with fish sauce, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, lemon grass, and honey. Garnished with sauteed green onions. All atop a bed of white rice. Keep'n it real, there's a side of sliced cucumbers and tomatoes. My favorite part of the dish is the small bowl of spicy homemade fish sauce for dipping, aka. Nước Mắm.

J// Pepper Crusted Salmon / Garlic & Oil Pasta

Quick late night dinner thats Healthy and Hearty! This meal was easy on the eyes and the stomach. Garlic and Oil pasta tossed with parmesan reggiano, lots of italian parsley, and some halved cherry tomatoes. Deliciously light and flavorful. Atop this bed of garlicy goodness is a (one side) pepper crusted salmon filet. Quite possibly one of my favorite pasta dishes to make.

[(Eggs) + (Evaporated Milk) - (Time)] x Sugar x Caramel = FLAN!

T// My first FLAN!

Not having posted and cooked for so long, I decided to make something quick, easy, yet delicious this Saturday morning, and came up with this classic Crème Caramel (Flan). You have no idea the joy I derive from eating eggs. So you can just imagine how much I love Flan. Learning from this first Flan experience, for next time, I'd set the heat lower to avoid bubbles and the mildly not-so-flat bottom...and use MORE caramel. =) Either way, it came out creamy, milky, and caramel-ly (yum.). Be sure to be on the lookout for Flan Part II!
