Fajitas!

Mon, 16 Apr 2012 12:21:17 -0700

I made a complete meal for some of my friends! It’s also super easy :) I used zucchini, tomato, green and red bell pepper, and onion for the veggies in the fajita. I bough a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store and shredded it. I added some spice, red chilli paste and chopped garlic, to both the veggies and chicken. The beans were mixed with taco seasoning. Of course, I also made guacamole. (Haas avocados, tomatoes, onions, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt and pepper) We made burritos with warmed tortillas, salsa, beans, guacamole, veggis and chicken fajitas!

What goes with ketchup!?

Wed, 11 Apr 2012 18:59:31 -0700

Homemade fries and mac n’ cheese! If you’ve never put ketchup on your mac n’ cheese, trust me.

Super simple dinner!

Fries:

Cut a potato :), drizzle olive oil, lemon pepper, salt. TOSS so the potato wedges are coated. Heat the oven to 375 degrees, bake for about 40 mins. I turned the fries half way through.

Mac n’ Cheese:

Cook some pasta, to cooked pasta add some milk, shredded cheese, black pepper, and salt. MIX and you’re done :)

Veggie Sausage Egg Breakfast Sandwich

Wed, 04 Apr 2012 10:00:05 -0700

I made some scrambled eggs with veggie sausages. I’ve had some of my friends who eat sausage taste it and they can’t tell the difference. For my “fake meat” eats I swear by Morning Star. For this meal I used :

I added a little bit of cheese on top before assembling my breakfast sandwich. It was super quick and delicious!

Mushroom, avocado, and cheese Turkey Sandwich

This was a simple sandwich. All I did was toast pre-cut mushrooms and the sandwich thins. I sprinkled some shredded cheese on the warmed bread. Then I just added lettuce, some avocado, and turkey slices. DONE! And it was pretty good too. :)

I have just graduated from UCSD with a BS in Molecular Biology. I have moved back home. In the time between graduation and my next step, I need to keep busy. This is why I decided to learn to cook. I plan to post up every homemade meal I make. Hopefully I’ll be improving over time. Feel free to join me, and suggest recipes. I am on a budget with money and time. With those conditions in place, my blog will end up as a vault for efficient and cheap recipes.

Re: Racist Asian Remarks.

What do we really listen to?

Mon, 14 Mar 2011 01:32:08 -0700

For those of you in the UC system, Alexandra Wallace’s racist rants against “Asians in the library” are probably old news by now. But for those of you who aren’t here’s a quick recap of what I saw:

Wallace’s video spread through Facebook really quickly. The comments on the video poured in so fast that I never made it past the first page because there were that many, if not more, new comments to read. Obviously people were up in arms over her comments of Asian people and what American values are.

Even as her original was taken down, someone reposted it to YouTube almost immediately. And the video was passed around yet again with just as much speed from what I could gather.

This past quarter (I’m also on the UC quarter system) I took a class on New Media, and learned that once something is posted on the internet it will forever be there. And it doesn’t matter if you personally take it down. This video of Alexandra Wallace will probably haunt her at every job hunt and future endeavor.

What I found particularly interesting is that though there was a parody of Wallace’s video and a response posted to YouTube tonight, the response did not receive as much attention as the original video or the parody. This made me wonder what people actually listen to. Yes the parody of a girl that literally made an idiot out of herself on the internet is funny. However, with all the heated commented and responses to each other I though that if three girls took the time to make a response to express their views that a least some people would take the time to hear them out. This was not what I saw. I think it it’s a little sad that we love to make fun of people on the internet, but we don’t have the time to hear out the other side.

Nikeatsss! I am SO glad you have decided to change your life! I too, went thru a similar experience recently and it’s so therapeutic to find out that people out there think the same way as you. Man, honestly I’ve been into this yoga/alternative medicine stuff for years but I guess I was always so timid to bring out that side of me because I thought people would judge me and call me “primitive” but honestly, watever! Im glad you too can practice this. I’ve actually started doing Yoga every morning in addition to the evening gym workouts and I realized how much they complement each other! You definetely have made me realize I should keep this up and letting people know about the benefits.

PS. I take aloe vera and all this herbal stuff too. Health benefits to the max!

xoxo Dhwanzzz :)

Great site! Very informative, will definitely be checking back for tips on yoga and natural health! Thanks!

Thank you for your support!

Medically speaking, how much does yoga, and herbal medicine actually do to keep people out of the doctors office? It seems to be a craze, but is it actually helping. I can understand the yoga, as helpful, but herbal medicine?

Fri, 25 Feb 2011 09:49:00 -0800

Hey! I am not a professional yet in the health care system, however I do think that many of these practices can be preventative.

I am also a Student Health Advocate on campus and I primarily work with students and their physical health. I stress stretching after a workout to prevent muscle injury. Yoga can single handedly prevent muscle pain, and joint pain. Also, I think it can be a great stress reliever if you enjoy it.

Herbal medicine has been around for centuries but the science behind it is either not properly documented or so dense that it requires a Ph.d to read it. I think that if you had a specific question as one or two remedies I would love to help you out in the research. A lot more doctors also have been more open to learning about the healing power of herbs, so your local doctor is the best place to start for information.

I do agree that there has been a craze for yoga recently in this country, but it has been around for a very long time. So spend some time to find a really great instructor and yoga will be amazing.
