Asian 'Slaw

If you know me well, then you know that I insist on having sides along with every meal.

This light and citrusy slaw pairs well with most dishes, especially fish. Also, because it requires few ingredients, it's also simple and easy to make.

Ingredients: (Just a heads up, I bought all of these bagged vegetables from Trader Joes which made it easier because I didn't have to chop, peel, or slice)
- Bag of shredded carrots
- Bag of shredded cabbage
- Bag of shredded cucumber
- Bag of edamame
- Tablespoon of honey
- Grated ginger
- 1 lime, juiced
- Teaspoon of crushed red pepper

Directions:
- In a large bowl add all of the ingredients together and mix well
- Taste before serving and add either honey, lime juice, or crushed red pepper to your desire

Cheers!

S'mores Pudding Parfait

S'mores are by far one of my top favorite desserts (along with cheesecake, frozen yogurt, fudgey brownies... etc.) 

This specific s'mores recipe is easy to throw together, and will help maintain a healthy lifestyle while also satisfy that oh so consistent sweet tooth.

Ingredients: (serves 4)

- 3 cups skim milk

- 1 box chocolate instant pudding 

- 10 graham crackers

- 2 cups mini marshmallows

Tools:

- Kitchen torch

Directions:

- Place milk in the freezer for about 20 minutes before mixing it into the pudding mix

- In a medium sized bowl, mix together the pudding mix and chilled milk until slightly thick and let sit for about 5 minutes

- Seal the graham crackers in a plastic bag and smash into pieces of any size you desire (I didn't do them too small because I like the "crunch")

- Now you can begin layering the ingredients into a medium sized glass!

- First, spoon about 1/4 cup of so of the pudding onto the bottom of the glass

- Next, sprinkle a layer of the graham crackers 

- Lastly, add the marshmallows

- Repeat the order of the layers one more time

- Carefully, using the kitchen torch, lightly brown the top layer of the marshmallows to your desire

Cheers!
