Low Carb Meals: Millet Porridge

Low Carb Meals: Protein Fiber Packed Dinner Set

Low Carb Snack Idea: Peanuts + Anchovies

After visiting the family back home on the East Coast, I got super nostalgic for some of my favorite family recipes so I made a big batch of these Shanghai style wontons I grew up with. Ran to the local 99 Ranch for all the ingredients and found a pack of spinach wontons so of course I had to make these with a mixture of both regular and spinach wonton wrappers. It ended up looking so colorful, which I feel like makes it even tastier! We eat with our eyes after all, right?

Shanghainese Style Wontons

Am I the only one who can’t stand meal prep because my tastes change way too much?? I know some people love the consistency but it’s just not for me and this dish is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner and gets even better as a leftover. The best way I can describe it is “chinese bolognese” because it is a meat sauce but it’s really called “jia chang jiang” (家常将), which translates to home style sauce. You can have this rice, noodles, options are endless!
