Happy 2026 and we hope your 2026 has been off to a great start!
The new year starts off with this healthy nutritious vegetarian/meatless bowl meal nicely balanced with a variety of cooked vegetables, roasted chickpeas/garbanzo beans, and black rice.
This is another viral recipe tried (and tested). A savory crispy snack or appetizer Onion Cheese Crisp Chips made using 2 simple ingredients. Onions and cheese.
There is no batter involved. So, for those looking for low-carb "onion rings" alternatives, rejoice!
We are heading towards soup season here, as temperature starts to drop. So it's soup dish today-Winter Melon Soup.
Abeit the word "winter", winter melon is actually not a winter squash. Named winter melon because of the "sugar" concentrated on the outer green skin that resembles frost, thus the term "winter".
Winter melon is perishable when already cut and sold in wedges; compared to hairy melon/fuzzy squash typically sold whole and can keep for up to 2 weeks in the fridge. You can also use hairy melon/fuzzy for this soup if you prefer, depending on what's available in your local market.
