If you’re anything like me, chicken tenders are a nostalgic food. My Dad and I used to go to TGI Fridays every Friday when I lived in Hong Kong, and I always ordered a plate of chicken tenders and fries.

Now, the thing is that most restaurant style chicken tenders come loaded with high amounts of carbohydrates, fats and sometimes even extra added sugar. It’s a wonderful treat once in a while. I’ve found a way to mimic the same delicious flavor so you can make healthy chicken tenders a regular part of your household meals!

I am really excited about this recipe and the prospect that one (all of you? hehe) of you will make this vegan lentil curry. I’ve been challenging myself to make more plant-based meals using cheap, everyday ingredients and this vegan lentil curry ticks all the boxes. And, of course, it’s healthy, incredibly delicious and only uses two pans! Continue Reading…

Chickpea Veggie Burgers

June 20, 2014

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a lovely week and have some fun plans for the weekend. I will be venturing up North to visit my boyfriend’s grandparents and aunt. But before I do, I wanted to share my new chickpea veggie burgers with you all.

Chickpea Veggie Burgers

Today I have some lovely vegetarian Chickpea Veggie Burgers (garbanzo beans for my American’s) for you all! I had a craving for something cheesy and filling a few nights ago and thought it would be fun to experiment .. ultimately resulting in this delish recipe. Chickpeas are a wonderful source of low G.I. carbohydrates, protein, fiber and a range of vitamins and minerals. A 1 cup serving of chickpeas contain 40g of carbohydrates, 2g of fat, 14g of fiber (wow!! almost half of your daily requirement), and 14g of protein. They also contain a fair amount of iron, which is great for the ladies, especially ladies who choose not to eat red meat. These chickpea burgers are not vegan because they contain asiago cheese. However, they can be made vegan if you omit the cheese that is in them, or replace it with vegan cheese, but I cannot guarantee the same texture and taste if you do this.
