So.. I finally caved and started a blog for all things healthy. Due to the overwhelming amount of enthusiasm and a tiny bit of pressure from my friends and family, I've created this page in hopes of being able to share my undying love of food and fitness for all of my fans :)

I've always known that sushi would be simple to re-create at home, but cooking rice is not my forte. So I decided to tackle rice paper first. It can be purchased at most grocery stores and comes in a dehydrated form that just needs to be briefly soaked in lukewarm water. As you can see it has a slight mind of its own and, similar to plastic wrap, it likes to stick to itself.
Spiced shrimp: Sounds much more sophisticated than it actually is. I placed three large, thawed, raw shrimp in a pan with olive oil, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder. Once fully cooked on medium heat, I sliced them in half so they would better fit in the rice paper wrap.
Veggies: The key is to have them sliced thinly enough for the wrapper.. use a Mandoline!
Make it your own: Get creative with what you put inside.. experiment with carrots, grilled asparagus, spinach, bell peppers, raw salmon, ahi tuna, baked tofu, or even rotisserie chicken!
