Anything from Jacques Pepin tastes good, that’s why I decided to whip this dish up after seeing it from Pepin’s recipes. When done correctly, this chicken dish should taste a little sweet and sour with a hint of spiciness.

Here’s the recipe from Jacques Pepin’s Food And Wine.

Ingredients: (serves 2)

2 chicken legs, skin removed

I’ve always been a rice eater, so there’s a hundred percent chance I am going to love this recipe I found on the Internet. I recently dined in a Thai restaurant and ordered their Chicken Thai Fried Rice. I definitely loved it, but it’s not that helpful if you’re in a diet like me.

Here’s something “healthy”  and delicious I found from ThaiFood.com.

Ingredients: (serves 2 to 4)

3 cups cooked rice, preferably several days old (Tip: if fresh, leave for an hour or more in the refrigerator uncovered)

3-4 Tbsp. vegetable or faux chicken stock for stir-frying (or regular chicken stock if…

Whenever I don’t have time to prepare anything for dinner, I usually take out a pouch of ramen noodles and pop it into the microwave oven. But the problem is I don’t usually like how it tastes like coming from an aluminum pouch. So, the solution is to make this into something more tasteful for me.

This recipe is good for four persons, and it actually involves a pot for you to cook a microwaveable, ready-to-eat noodle cup. I know you probably think I’m crazy but you gotta try this one.

Ingredients: (serves 4)

2 packages ramen noodles (discard the flavor packets)

1/2 cup dried mushrooms, chopped

20 raw shrimp (medium to large), peeled and deveined

Mac and cheese has become the staple food for most Americans; mainly because it is easy to make, and anyone can whip it up (thanks to boxed and ready-to-cook meals). Yet, there’s nothing that can beat homemade mac and cheese, especially one that is healthy like the recipe I am about to feature.

This one mixes broccoli and chicken with the mac and cheese for that perfect balance of carbohydrates and proteins.

Ingredients: (serves 6)

2 broccoli crowns (6 ounces), broken down into florets and chopped

6 ounces of a short, curved pasta shape, like elbows

3 tablespoons butter, plus more for preparing the baking dish

1 shallot, minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon cayenne

3 tablespoons of flour
