Good eats I’ve recently discovered or made:
Something I make often, because it’s so fast and easy is a stir-fry with noodles and chicken. I cook pieces of chicken breast in olive oil (if I have the time and think about it, I marinate them in some soy sauce, garlic, ginger and honey first) until they become brown. Then I add about a tablespoon of black bean sauce (see my post about this product) and two teaspoons of soy sauce and honey. Then I add veggies (usually a mix of beansprouts, bell peppers, onion, chinese cabbage, carrot and red pepper) and udon noodles that are pre-cooked. I finish with an extra tablespoon of black bean sauce (told you I love it!) and that’s it! I like to serve the dish in this bowl with chopsticks, isn’t it cute?

And I bought this delicious (and huge) tomato ciabatta with tuna, anchovies, mayonnaise, arugula, peppers and honey mustard. It was really good, maybe a bit too much olive oil (it was seriously dripping), but hey: at least that will keep ED away;)

Realisation I’ve recently made:
Thanks for all the sweet comments on my last post. I realize I’m blessed with all of you fantastic readers, because you make me smile, inspire me, let me stay committed and so much more. So this post is dedicated to you: thank you for being there for me!
I’m a big fan of chopsticks… supposedly they’re good for brainpower. :p Whatever.

Thank you to you as well. I’ve been really blessed by your posts. =) Your food looks yummy.
I for some reason can’t get the hang of chopsticks. They’re so cool though – I wish I could eat with them!
I have a lot of trouble with chopsticks, but love how they make me slow down and eat a little more intuitively. I asked my husband to help me find those kids’ versions of chopsticks that are attached at the top.
Thank you to you too, Julia! I love your great cooking ideas…they always impress me
Those meals look very delicious!!

Stir fries are such a simple & delicious dinner & I NEVER made them! Gotta start thinking about them for meals again!
Thank you for the awesome meal ideas you’ve always got going on!
I’ve actually never had stir fry with noodles. I usually make mine over brown or wild rice. Definitely sounds amazing though.
OMG, that sandwich???? LOVE IT! The bread looks so dense and delicious.
