Coconut Shrimp with Pineapple Curry Dip


Shrimp is probably the most popular seafood out there. I have a couple of friends who hate seafood (I know, what's up with that???) and they still have at least tried shrimp. As Forrest Gump's friend Bubba said it's the fruit of the sea and you can cook it a million different ways. One of my favourite ways to cook shrimp is to coat it in coconut flakes. I just love the flavour of coconut and shrimp together. It makes me think of somewhere tropical and warm:)

Easy Spinach Salad



This salad as a meal recipe is so easy to make and prep time is literally minutes! I have made variations of this recipe switching the chorizo with bacon, ham, or whatever protein I may have on hand.

Carrot Ginger Juice


Happy Sunday! Look at me posting another blog entry a day after my last one...wow! I'm surprised myself. Sundays are usually pretty lazy for me but today I have a few more house projects I need to finish so after an intense hot core yoga class, I'm having myself this perk me up Ginger Carrot Juice.

Happy, Healthy New Year! Green Juice Recipe



Happy New Year! Wow, where did 2013 go? I've been such a neglectful blogger, my last post was in August! One of the resolutions I have is to blog at least once a month, with a target of once a week. I guess time will tell if I can transform this resolution to a routine.

Spicy Pork Lettuce Wraps with Basil Lemon Aoli



I can't believe how fast time flies! It's been almost a month since my last post! The August weather in YYC has been better than the earlier months of summer and I've been taking full advantage with an awesome tan to prove it. This month has been full of events which included a wedding, a baby shower, & a QOTSA concert amongst others. I've also just gotten back into eating keto as of this Monday. I had a carb up weekend which turned into a carb up week last week...lol!

Party Pansit Recipe

Pansit

An old Filipino saying states that eating noodles extend one's life. This is because noodles are a lot longer than rice, another Filipino staple. Right, well don't ask me the logic behind it. All I know is pansit is good.

Fajita Pizza Recipe

Fajita Pizza
One of my favourite food is pizza. When I was little, growing up in an Asian household, anything that isn't rice or goes with rice is a treat. Ordering delivery pizza was back then, in my eyes a special occasion. 

Now, not so much. Delivery pizza nowadays is a sign that me or Jesse are either too lazy or too tired to make something for dinner. But nothing taste as good as homemade. I find that making pizza out of left overs is simple, delicious, & easy, having most of the ingredients I need already on hand.

We had fajitas the night before and I wanted to re-imagine the leftovers into another dish. What better way to do this than to make it into a pizza!

I don't really cook using exact measurements except when I'm baking.

This being said, I don't really have exact amounts of each ingredient for this recipe but it's pretty hard to screw it up. I suggest just eyeballing each ingredient until you think your pizza is to your liking. 


You'll need:
  • baking sheet or pan
  • pita bread
  • salsa
  • leftover grilled chicken &/or beef
  • leftover grilled veggies (optional)
  • chopped pickled jalapenos (optional)
  • shredded mozza & cheddar cheese 
  • whole sour cream (optional)
  • chopped cilantro (optional)

Pre-heat the oven to 400°F. Layer all ingredients in the order listed on the baking sheet, except the sour cream & cilantro. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until cheese is golden brown & melted. Cut into 4s. Spoon dollops of sour cream & sprinkle cilantro.  

Enjoy!!!
