This is a recipe based off allrecipes’ and Tasty’s chocolate chip cookies recipe, except I don’t have as much of a sweet tooth. Best served with coffee. This recipe yields approx 24 cookies.
Ingredients:
This recipe is based on The Londoner’s Epic Fish Tacos. The hubby doesn’t love cilantro so I’m omitting half of it. And the rest is altered based on what we normally buy and what we currently have in the fridge courtesy of Costco, as well as how lazy I am. The hubby and I loved it, but I apologise in advance to all Mexicans everywhere that I may be offending with this recipe haha.
This was enough for us with a little guac left over to finish with some pita chips. We weren’t too hungry to begin with, but one taco is the size of a small burrito so you should be good.

Flavour: I mean… it’s not bad. It’s not the best pho I’ve ever had, but it’s okay. I personally find the broth too sweet and somehow a bit salty all at the same time. You can taste some other spices like star anise in there too but… I don’t know. I find it lacking, somewhat. It’s like it would have benefitted from simmering in the bones and spices for another few hours to bring out a richer, deeper flavour in the broth itself, rather than over-seasoning to supplement taste.
I ended up pouring some more hot water into the broth to dilute it a little, which worked out well because I feel like we didn’t get as much broth in proportion to the quantity of dry ingredients. In addition, I’m more of a lime-with-my-pho type of girl, but they tend to serve theirs with lemon. I do appreciate that the meat and herbs were very fresh though.
I made this last night based off this recipe because we wanted to eat something healthy and happened to have a number of ingredients for a wannabe tuna niçoise salad.
It was so easy to throw together, and turns out the hubby liked it so much he wanted it again today. So I should write this down so I don’t forget what was in it or how to make it:

This is less of a recipe and more of a throw-everything-in-a-pan-and-stir-fry-it sort of thing. It’s so easy to make, tastes good, saves on washing up, and is healthy (literally a bowl of veggies + protein).
These are instructions for using frozen produce, because we can’t finish Costco-sized packs of meat and veg in a day. Feel free to make substitutions, just alter your cooking time accordingly.
Also, as much as I’ll try and give instructions and provide cooking pointers, it’s not a fool-proof recipe; your appliances will differ from mine so adjust accordingly. Neither will I have accurate measurements of salt/pepper/oil etc. – I prefer my food a little less salty, but you season it how you like.
Let’s get started.
