Easy Healthy Recipes For Dinner: Pork Chops With Pineapple Salsa
By: jeric james
Remember when I mentioned that I cooked some chops for friends using an Asian-inspired easy pork marinade? They loved it so much they're begging me to cook it again for the month's potluck dinner. While I googled the recipe, the secret is getting a good Chinese five-spice powder that will bring the kick to the pork chops. A five-spice powder is a mixture of a variety of spices - the most common being star anise, cloves, Chinese Cinnamon, Szechuan peppercorns and Fennel seeds - that is used primarily in Chinese cuisine but also found in Asian or Arabic dishes. This pungent mix creates a balance of flavors meant to enhance the qualities in a dish without overwhelming it. Do not be fooled into thinking the "five" refers to the number of spices used. It is merely a nod to the five flavors - sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty - that are present in the powder.(read

Simple Healthy Dinner Recipes: Home-made Kani Salad
By: jeric james
My siblings and I are very fond of having midnight snacks when we were younger. From junk foods, sandwiches, fast-food and pizzas... name it and we've probably tried it. It was our little tradition. A bond that was sacred to us three. But who would have thought the time would come where we would actually be munching on lettuce and cherry tomatoes instead of McDonalds' take-outs, huh? We developed a phase hankering for leafy greens that I decided to prepare something new for a change. I chose to be less technical on the ingredients and whipped up my own version of a Caesar's salad using what was readily available in the kitchen. I used lettuce, cherry tomatoes, croutons, bacon bits and parmesan cheese. Tossed it all together and viola! Caesar's salad which, modesty aside, my siblings actually loved.(read

Best Marinade For Chicken: Asian-marinated Baked Chicken Recipe
By: jeric james
In my attempt to kitchen-test every recipe that catches my fancy, I recently came across this Asian-Marinated Baked Chicken recipe from Amy Wisniewski. It's a fairly easy dish that you can whip up when you're pressed for preparation time since the other ingredients (aside from the chicken) come from whatever is in your pantry. Chicken, sans the skin, is a staple for healthy eaters. It's high in protein and, if prepared properly, low in fat. I'm a big fan of poultry dishes. My sister makes the best spicy chicken adobo and it's one of my ultimate comfort foods.(read

A Raspberry Vinaigrette Dressing Recipe For Keeps!
By: jeric james
They say it's hard to find good vinaigrette for keeps. At my office Christmas party a couple of weeks ago, I found the vinaigrette too oily thereby killing my appetite for the salad greens they were serving as appetizers. Then I heard about raspberry vinaigrettes and how it's one of the most popular salad dressings for weight loss because it's comparatively low in fat and calories. I've never tried one before since I was mostly familiar with balsamic or Italian vinaigrettes only. So out of curiosity, I decided to check the internet for recipes and try making one for myself.(read
