Ingredients

Olive oil
Cooked chicken breast meat (diced)
Celery – 1 Stalk
Blue cheese
Mozzerella cheese
Butter
Hot sauce
Naan flat bread

I don’t have the time or the patience to make pizza crust from scratch, so I decided to use naan (a flat bread eaten in India and the Central Asia region) instead, and it came out rather well.
The amount of sauce and cheese to use is all of personal preference, so if you’re either a sauce or cheese lover, it’s all up to you.  For this recipe, I made 2 personal sized pizzas.
Brush the naan on …

Over the July 4th Weekend, I learned that kiwi is a great tenderizer for beef.  It was the first time I had heard of this, but the kalbi (Korean beef short ribs) I had were out of this world, and the secret was using kiwi in the marinade.  Kiwis contain an enzyme called actinidin, and what it does is that it breaks down the gelatin and muscle fibers in the beef.
Last night, I decided to do a little experimentation of my own.  I would make two batches of beef bulgogi …

Corn is definitely a Summer grilling staple.  Even though I don’t have an outdoor grill, I can still count on my trusty stove top grill.  A local supermarket was selling unhusked white and yellow corn for $0.20 each, so I bought a dollar’s worth.  Here’s how I prepare and grill corn.

Juice from half a lime
1 Tsp of melted butter

Peel off the thick outer layers of husk from the corn, leaving the soft inner husk.  Peel down the inner husk, but do not remove.  Remove the …

Skewered  Grilled Shrimp w/ Lime Tortilla Chips
Ten days back, I wrote I was in a prawny predicament.  Defeated in looking for a way to prepare and cook the water critters, I put them into the freezer.  Well, a simple idea dawned upon me this week and I tried it out.  I would grill the shrimp and freshwater prawns with olive oil, Adobo seasoning, pepper, and lime juice.  And you know what?  It was fantastic.
The ingredients are just that, olive oil, Adobo, pepper, and lime juice.  Brush the crustaceans with olive …

It was four years ago when I first encountered Challah French toast. I was working at an offsite location over the weekend and I was waiting for breakfast to arrive. The breakfast was served buffet style, and when it was all setup, I quickly noticed these huge golden yellow chunks at the end of the table. It was the Challah French Toast. I had never seen or eaten anything like it before. It was delicious and it gave one of those euphoric feelings …

For the past few nights, I’ve been trying out a new pre-workout snack.  My usual consists of organic low-fat yogurt and two slices of lightly buttered whole wheat toast.  It was getting boring and it just didn’t do it for me anymore.  My new pre-workout snack is more of a dessert, but it’s a healthy dessert.  It’s easy and simple.  I placed a scoop of vanilla fudge soy ice cream on a multi-grain waffle and I added blackberries on the side.  While I don’t think it has improved …
