Asian Fusion Summer Salad
The hot months have reached the Algarve, and the best kind of cuisine to eat is healthy, light food!

Salad is the most popular lunch in the summer heat, and I eat it nearly every[...]
Lita’s Healthy Spring Bowl
This month I want to write about one of the excellent food trends that is currently popular. This healthy meal choice is a dish where you combine all the ingredients together in a bowl.

Bowls are an expression of our times. We want to eat something as nutritious[...]
