Cool Summer, Hot Breakfast

Vancouver has experienced quite a weather contrast from last year. Instead of having hot summer weather, we've been experiencing relatively cool, almost Autumn like weather, with heat flashes once in a while.

This week, I decided to enjoy a Hong-Kong inspired breakfast that embraces our variable weather. As a Chinese Canadian, shredded ham and macaroni has been part of my diet at some point or another. This week, I made a very simple macaroni and egg with chicken soup for breakfast, with a simple blueberry shake on the side. This breakfast is a healthy alternative to traditional bacon and eggs, consisting of a balance between grains, fruits, dairy, and protein. This provides athletic students like me enough energy to power me through the day without excess fat. Best part about this breakfast? It can be made in less than 10 minutes with very little prep work needed.

Try it out today!

Midweek Madness

Midweek is always the craziest, meaning that I have little to no time to cook. For this week's unexpected midweek dine out, I visited Banzai Sushi House to eat some sushi to fill my empty stomach.

Quick and Easy Breakfast

Wow! It has been another hectic week. With the start of the new summer semester, I have been slowly adjusting to the regular routine again. However, having only one online course has proven to be a struggle when it comes to getting into the rhythm of things. I go to work more often and study less than usual. I continue to go on weekend adventures and exploring different hiking trails two to three times a week. No matter how my schedule looks like, I am still VERY, very busy! With so many things to do every week and so less time, making breakfast can turn into a war zone in the kitchen. Fortunately, I discovered a fast and easy breakfast that will not only give me the energy I need for the day, but save me time in the process: Scrambled eggs style omelette and homemade hashbrowns. See below for the recipe! Ingredients 2 Eggs 1 Cup of Spinach 1 Large White Potato (Or 2 White nugget potatoes) Salt and Pepper, to taste 1/4 Onion, Sli...
