Healthy tips!


When doing seafood or fish.... skip the béarnaise sauce which is very fattening and
use some fresh or dry herbs like rosemary thyme oregano parsley salt and pepper olive oil to grill the fish or seafood....deglaze with lemon juice and a sprinkle of sugar. When you"ll taste it : you"ll keep it!


Salad can be super healthy and help you with your diet....but it also can be an enemy. Why ? Dressing. Try to cut some slack on the dressing or to get it on the side at the restaurant. When doing homemade dressing use olive oil.... try to go easy on the sugar or syrup you put in... cut half of it with some lemon juice for a fresh taste and less calories! Plus the vitamin C content of the lemon juice helps in increasing the immunity power of the body, which can ensure your health and fitness.

Asian Tofu Salad


This salad was a success for a lot of people so I hope you"ll like it!

Slice all your vegetables and your tofu in julienne (see the image)

you will need

2 carotts
2 zucchinis
1 white onion
half a package of extra firm tofu (I only use unisoya tofu vegetable or herbs)


Dressing (do separately and stir very well : you want the peanut butter to break into a sauce)
1 tbsp of peanut butter
1 tbps of ketchup
1 tbsp of rice vinegar
a dash of soy sauce
a bit of olive oil
1 tbsp of honey or mirin sauce (asian sweet sauce)


Shake everything into a plastic lunch bowl to coat every little piece! Eat immediatly!

Vegetarian Chili Con "Carne"

Hey so there it is! A very healthy and easy way to make chili without the fat and the cruelty in the use of real meat hahaha!

3 garlic cloves chopped
1 onion diced
salt \ pepper
1/2 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tbsp cumin powder
1/2 tbsp chipotle powder
2 tbsp honey
1 habanero diced
1 jalapeno diced
1 cup of vegetable stock
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 tbsp of sriracha (any hot sauce but please no tabasco : it ruiiiins the taste)
1 package of mexican fakemeat (Yves product found in the vegetable section of any supermarket!)
1 can of mixed beans rinced

First start with a bit of olive oil in the pan to slightly brown your onions and garlic. Add your spices to it and enjoy the smell! Then after a few minutes (but dont wait too long you dont want anything to burn) add you hot peppers and the rest of your ingredients. Turn down the heat and let simmer for at least 30 minutes... You want it to reduce a bit or a lot...depending on how you like your chili!
Serve on salad or with tostitos chips or pita bread! Whatever you like! Enjoyyy
