Cooking nutritious food is important to me.

But I don't want to feel deprived or bored with it and so I challenge myself to cook things that we will love. I mean- that's basically what this whole blog is about!

And I love taking inspiration from all sorts of cuisines and using it to inject some excitement into our weekly dinners.

We eat out from time to time to try new dishes but since we prioritize cooking at home, it has led me to create some of these easier (and disclaimer, not authentic) dishes to satisfy our cravings.

While these recipes may not be traditional, they're made with wholesome ingredients and pack all the bold, savory flavors you'd expect from your favorite takeout.

Whether it's a quick stir-fry, a spicy noodle dish or light and flavorful lettuce wraps, these recipes have become our go-to alternatives when we want something delicious without ordering in.

Plus, they're easy enough for any weeknight and healthier than much of your typical takeout fare!
