Happy Meals: Quick and Healthy 10-minute Meals

In between being a hands-on mom, running a household, two businesses, a day job, and this blog, I barely have the time for anything at all. I'm no supermom and I know I can never be. I doubt I'll truly be able to strike that perfect balance between family, and pleasure for I know if there's one thing I'd truly pour all my heart into that would be my child. I'm pretty sure most moms would agree.

So anyway, a couple of months ago, someone asked me if I cook. My ecstatic response was: A LOT, I LOVE COOKING! I don't remember a time when I didn't feel excited nor passionate about cooking.



Growing up, I was always the independent child. In my younger years, my parents would travel a lot and we were mostly left with the help or under the care of our grandparents. Me, being the free-spirited me, hated being told what to do and following my grandma's Nazi-training. So, I decided that whenever my parents would travel, I'd stay at our place--be it with help or not. I didn't really care about having someone around as long as I had free reign over my little kingdom.

At 10, I would go grocery shopping by myself after school and buy toothpaste and all those household stuff. How odd that must have been! I can't remember how I was able to get out of the school nor get to the grocery but yeah, I remember buying toothpaste and raw ingredients for cooking. So weird for I could have bough candies and whatever.

So anyway, my love for cooking sprouted out and developed naturally. As long as the pantry and fridge had the basics, I'd whip up whatever edible meal I can. Cooking for me has and will always be a continuous and enjoyable learning experience where I am able to express myself, be my own, while get to challenge my creativity and imagination-not to mention, feed my soul, in a literal sense!

But lately, I barely have TIME, period. Going back to that time when someone asked me a question on whether I cook or not, made me realize how I badly miss cooking. So to feed my soul and my voracious appetite, I thought about coming up with quick and easy, yet healthy meals that takes 10 minutes or less.
