Gotta love spring time. The berries are so fresh and sweet that they can be dessert by themselves.
Or, make smoothies, muffins, lassi, fruit salad; add the berries to pancakes, crepes, ice cream,… endless possibilities. Enjoy!
Strawberries, like candies, so sweet.
Made these muffins for Sunday brunch today. Easy, fast and DELISH! I am not a baker, but the muffins came out perfect. Nothing like fresh baked muffins!

Give it a try. 🙂
Banana Nut Muffins
After a month long of having raw fruits and veggies, finally I started cooking again yesterday. It was mostly for Karan.
Kai was happy to enjoy the aroma from the food.
I miss my raw food. So, I try to have at least something raw every day. Cucumber, strawberries, grape fruit, figs, etc. Fresh fruits/veggies are so full of life. My body can definitely recognize that.
I ate a tiny slice of cold oven baked cake. I couldn’t resist. It was so good.
To make myself feel better, I did 50 sit-ups. 🙂
To cope with winter depression, I lost my control over food. :kebored: Or am I just obsessed with chow? I have been overeating almost daily, piling on whipped cream desserts and tons of carbohydrates. As a result of excessive food consumption and the lack of exercise, my body feels heavy and my mind feels dull. I really miss the feeling of starving empty stomach during the juice detox program.
Last night, I made an effort to prepare raw salad for dinner. I warned Karan in advance not to tempt me with any other goodies.
Raw Salad
When I was preparing the salad, Karan popped a frozen pizza into the oven. &$%$$%#$# :ohbeatit:
Garlic Chicken Pizza in the Oven... hmm... smells so good
Finishing off the pizza with fresh avocado slices, red pepper flakes, goat cheese and drizzled extra virgin olive oil all over.
Since I have trouble resisting any tasty food, even my dog could guess what happened next. Oh well, I did skip the dessert. 🙂
Chilli Crabs
I love crabs. I can’t get fresh dungeness crabs here in Iowa, so I cooked this dish with king crab legs.
Ingredients: Ginger, green scallions, garlic, chillies, eggs, tomatoes, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, salt, pepper, oil
Simply stir-fry all ingredients with the crabs.
Holy crabs! They are unbelievably tasty!
Stir-fry Spinach
Too bad I didn’t have any good bread to soak up every last drop of delicious sauce. I did cook some jasmine rice and stir-fried some spinach to go with the crabs. Yummo!
