I never felt right eating anything from cans, seriously. I have been this way ever since I was still a little girl. First of all, I grew up in a family that always cooked from scratch. There were no processed or any canned foods in my parents’ and grandparents’ pantries. Second of all, I don’t like the look or the taste of anything in cans. It’s mushy, slimy and I always have a weird taste sticks to my tongue afterward.…

Plantains have a reputation for being on healthy food menus. They are so good in curry, and especially in south african excotic dishes.

Living in Taiwan for a year, Bubble tea is no stranger to us. It’s a fun drink, refreshing, and undoubtedly tasty. Unfortunately, most of it made from powdered-premixed-flavored-tea, dairy milk. It’s also way too sweet, with so much syrup (which that I don’t know what it’s made from).

Since it’s rather unhealthy, we feel guilty most of the time we drink it. However, we don’t want to give up drinking it entirely, so I came up with my own recipe. With only simple and healthy ingredients, this Bubble Tea (without tea) is a much better choice for anyone.

Sprouted Broccoli and Kale are not something you can buy from any grocery store easily. They are very delicate, and need to be handled gently. These might be the reasons why they don’t sell them in grocery stores, and the best way to get them is to grow your own. Fortunately, they are easy to grow right in your own kitchen!

When I first started growing my own Sprouted Broccoli and Kale, I wanted to grow them as microgreens. Even though microgreens and sprouts have pretty much the same health benefits, to me, microgreens look more appealing as the leaves are bigger and greener.

However, growing microgreens requires more equipment and space. It’s almost impossible to grow in a kitchen. I did a lot of research and tried to grow them according to what I learned a few times, but it was very messy and took too much effort. …

A few times before my daughter was born, my husband and I enjoyed microwave popcorn. It’s convenient, and the taste was quite good at that time. Interestingly, we never made it more than one bag at a time.

There are so many obvious things about it that pushed us away from microwaved popcorn: the bag material, the butter, unknown ingredients, and dealing with the garbage afterwards. I’m so glad we left it behind.…

I never paid attention to store bought Vegan Butter ingredients much in the past. However, when I decided to drop most dairy products including butter, I took a serious look into what it’s made of. Then, I started to form uneasy feelings toward any kind of dairy product substitutions.

It’s so disappointing to learn that I can’t rely on all most plant-based products. They are either highly processed, or have some unknown ingredients, and are packed with food additive & preservatives, not to mention the packaging.

Those reasons are enough for me to stop buying commercial Vegan Butter of all kinds. Now, I make my own, and only use ingredients I actually know. …
