Sauteed spinach and sweet potatoes

As I’ve said many times now, I really miss being able to quickly throw together some nice healthy vegetarian meals to eat as a precursor to unhealthy baked goods.  I only had one chance to make a dinner when I was back in Australia a few weeks ago but I made it count.  I saw … Continue reading

Filipino food: take 2

Seeing as I am living in the Philippines, I figured it was about time I do another post about Filipino food.  A trendy area of Manila is called the Fort, which consists of a bunch of nicer shops and restaurants all gathered together along a big grassy mall which is quite nice.  We would go … Continue reading
