I bet that’s one of the lightest versions of mac and cheeses you can find on the internet. And it’s also a great way to sneak in some veggies just so you can feel guilty free.
The weather has been messing up with my mood lately, very sunny between 8 and 10 a.m. and rainy for the rest of the day … like that song “All day long”. Crap, really! :(
So I needed some comfort food that I could stuff my face guilt-free. PASTA was definitely in my mind as it’s my absolute favorite kind of comfort food….
Tropical chicken whole wheat pasta with white asparagus and avocado – so simple, so tasty, so quick! And it’s one of my favorite before-workout meals. So yummy!
Out of all the fresh fruits at the grocery shops and markets, I think I use these two tropical fruits, avocado and mango, for cooking at least a couple of times a week. I simply love combining avocado with almost everything for both its creamy texture and various potential health benefits.

Quick salad with fresh spinach and asparagus, the creamy quinoa and then garnish it with big chunks of fresh orange for a refreshing flavor.
As the traditional German harvest season of the asparagus begins at the end of April and runs through the end of June, I figured I only have one week left to reap its benefits. Of course, asparagus, especially the white one, may be found year round from other parts of the country, but nothing compares to the texture and flavor of this meticulously cultivated local delicacy during its season.

My boyfriend and I love this recipe. Make sure to get some salmon, asparagus, quinoa and sauce in every bite. The combination is fabulous! The recipe calls for cooking the salmon in the oven, but we prefer to grill it.
Have you tried quinoa yet? When I first did, which wasn’t such a long time ago, I just couldn’t believe that it has got such a nutty flavour and, moreover, makes it an excellent alternative to rice and couscous.
Quinoa could bring you a slightly al dente bite and fluffiness into your mouth, so all you need to do is simmer and let it cook for approximately 10 minutes until the germs get separate from the seeds….
I don’t know about you, but I just crave for prawns. I love combining them in almost any kind of dish. I know I may sound a little bit odd, especially if seafood means almost nothing to you, but if you are more of a chocolate/sweet dessert type of person, I should be able to pass the “passion” test, don’t you think?
When I first became aware of my passion for prawns, I used to live in Greece, on a beautiful small island, called Kos. It’s almost impossible to not get passionate about food in general once you have been living there for some time. I think one of the reasons people tend to love Greek food is the simplicity of the meals….
