It’s like a pizza meets a taco meets a muffin. What!!!My mom used to make us pizza bagels after school when we were little and I thought it was the absolute coolest. They weren’t exactly these Healthy Taco Pizza Muffin Cups, but who else chows down on homemade pizza while they’re doing long division? She’d also bring me the yummiest warm lunches to school, like piping hot rigatoni with red sauce from Alesci’s with a brownie for dessert when everyone else was eating peanut butter and jelly....

Granola isn’t just for crunchy hippies anymore and I’m more than ecstatic about it. I buy granola at the store just about never because not only is it too expensive for my frugal self, but also because some form of sugar and oil are usually the first, second or third ingredient. Granola bursting with nuts, seeds, dried fruit and oats can become a high calorie, high sugar treat super fast....

Fresh parsley, for garnish. How to cook lemon pepper shrimp Can I make this ahead?...

Updated March 26, 2019 Maxwell is a pretty good sleeper. I usually feed him around 2:00 a.m. and 5:00-6:00 a.m. Once I am done feeding, Josh takes the baby and puts him back to sleep. Josh and Maxwell have no trouble falling back asleep after the 5:00-6:00 feeding, but it is hard for me to go back to sleep. I am a morning person and once the clock strikes 5:00, I am up for the day…even if I am super tired....

Ingredients I wanted to make a fresh seafood salad inspired by Italian recipes I’ve seen. The seafood is quickly poached so they remain juicy and tender before being marinated in a zesty lemon dressing instead of a dressing made with mayonnaise, with sliced celery to add crunch and freshness. Seafood. I used prawns/shrimp, calamari, baby squid and mussels. Clams, scallops, lobster, cubes of white fish and imitation crab meat can also be used....

Nothing makes me happier than a healthy and hearty homemade meal after a trip. When I travel, I try my best to eat healthy. But I also indulge in fast food, such as a slice of street pizza or a juicy burger. I truly enjoy all those foods when I’m away from home, but I often feel tired and bloated at the end of a trip. Some recipes I keep making, again and again, after a trip include curried lentil stew, vegetable fried rice, hot and sour soup, and 4-ingredient fried cabbage....

By the time dinner rolls around, I am usually too tired to make dinner....

The okra is quickly cooked in a peppercorn and chili pepper infused hot oil until slightly charred on the outside. The dish has a smoky and spicy savory flavor that is almost as good as a roasted one. It uses only five ingredients and takes five minutes to cook. Isn’t it a perfect dish for a busy weekday? Okra is becoming more popular in Beijing lately, and I’m glad to see that even my neighborhood vegetable market sells it sometimes....
