I have a love/hate relationship with food during the holidays. I cook/bake myself to exhaustion that I don't feel like eating anything heavy anymore by the second week. Mostly, I ask for something light, just to fill my tummy. So, when I got my recipe assignment for Yummy.ph, it was easier than usual since this was actually what I was eating during December and well into January.
The assignment called for healthy, low-calorie dishes for the new year. Perfect!
First off, an eggwhite omelet. This has been a regular breakfast item for the last few weeks out of necessity. We had at least 3 liters of eggwhites stored in the ref from a holiday leche flan cooking spree. Our cook usually just scrambles everything with onions and tomatoes but for the readers, I added a few more ingredients, bell peppers for crunch and color, and three different types of mushrooms for added fiber, subtle flavors and protein. Here's the link to the recipe: http://www.yummy.ph/recipe/egg-white-omelet-with-three-mushrooms. A complete meal in 10 minutes tops! Can't beat that.
I included a few more recipes from our home kitchen. The 15-minute baked fish is actually our own version of Pinangat, 5 minutes prep time, microwaved for 10 minutes on high. Simple, and yet so flavorful. http://www.yummy.ph/recipe/15-minute-fish-fillet
Another is the Low-carb Chicken Soup, a clear soup that's light on the tummy. http://www.yummy.ph/recipe/low-carb-chicken-soup . Other recipes are the Pan-grilled fish with Indian Mango Salsa and Steamed Chicken with Veggies.
For the first time, everything is unbelievably easy even for beginner cooks, prepared and cooked in less than 30 minutes. After all, diet-friendly grubs need not be too fussy, right?
