Avocado & Egg Spaghetti Squash Boats

July 30, 2014 Amanda Plott

I want to start off by saying, my grandmother was very upset at me for making a spaghetti squash dish just days after she left. I was hissed at more than once for it. Sorry Neenaw, but the show must go on! The good thing is, this dish is so super easy that she can make it at home for herself and her husband to enjoy.

It's not winter, I know... but it seems like I always have to make at least one spaghetti squash meal during the summer. Even though its a winter squash, it seems like I crave it a lot more on hot days rather than cold ones. Perhaps it has something to do with the cooler toppings and bright sauces that I use on it...

Healthified Asian Salad

I love a good asian style salad and yet haven't had one in quite a long time.

Many years ago when I was younger and my mother used to by an asian style salad kit. It was very tasty and one of our favorite things to eat along side any asian dish. Most commonly we would eat it with a bowl of hot and sour soup and some spring rolls. Yummy!...

Healthified Chinese BBQ Pork (Char Siu)

The Chinese New Year was a few days ago (well... okay... almost a week ago...), and I really wanted to have this recipe posted in time but... it just didn't happen that way. Oh, well!

Char Siu or 'Chinese BBQ Pork' literally translates to 'fork burn/roast'. It's usually well known for it's bright red colored outside layer caused from marinating and cooking in a traditional glaze sauce.

This is my healthified version of Chinese BBQ pork. It's typically made by roasting a pork shoulder in a special sauce, chopping it, skewering it, and charring it with more sauce to glaze. Well, sometimes less is more...
