Daily sweat sessions? Yes, please! Exercise trends are skewing in the opposite direction as research warns us about the risks of overloading, touting the importance of rest days. While it’s true that we ought to give our bodies a break, it’s a bad idea to turn into a chip eating couch potato on your “off […]

Ever since I moved to Hong Kong nearly a decade ago, I’ve learned to make and healthify a lot of different classic Chinese dishes. One of my absolute favorites is this Quick Stove Top Cauliflower Fried Rice With A Healthy Twist. If you chop the cauliflower and caramelize the vegetables just right, you can almost […]

Would you believe that with all the cooking I do, I rarely take the time to make myself lunch? Typical. A solo chop and stir often feels like too much work! But today I was craving something green and crunchy so I whipped up this one bowl party-in-your-mouth kale salad. It took three minutes (seriously) from […]

frozen bananas covered in chocolate, sprinkled with coconut and nuts, and served with chopsticks — how good does that sound? I tell you what, it tastes even better.

The holiday season is officially over and that means it’s time to get back to reality. For me, that means maintaining a household and running a business that’s constantly pulling me in multiple directions. What’s on your plate? As we all juggle our many responsibilities, it’s easy to feel drained at times. You know, that […]

I used to be way too hard on myself in all aspects of life. Have you ever felt a nagging voice inside your head that urges you to be better, faster, and, well, perfect over present? Over the last few decades, I’ve adopted a more flexible approach to life that includes giving myself a break […]
