I have no idea why I'm reading Men's Health. Regardless, the magazine has an article that encourages men to cook these seven dishes from around the world at home, to keep them lighter than the restaurant versions that are always loaded with too much pasta, rice and potatoes. Men's Health says that the "secret isn't tiny, Frenchman-like portions; it's a redistribution of nutrients." Hey, if it makes you look like Mr. Cooking Guy in the photo, I'm all for it!
The recipes are for:
- Curried Shrimp Kebabs with Basmati Rice (Indian)
- Sausage and Pepper Pasta (Italian)
- Steak and Bean Burrito (Mexican)
- Pork Fried Rice (Chinese)
- Teriyaki Salmon Bowl with Broccoli (Japanese)
- Cajun Chicken Fingers with Sweet Potato Fries
- Broiled Lamb Chop over Cucumber Tomato Salad (Greek)
The recipes are for one portion though. I'd double it, and make dinner for yourself and your date!

I love baby bok choy. Regular bok choy tastes great, but I think I am beginning to have this fascination with all
things teeny tiny cute and miniature. Of course, baby bok choy tastes a little different - they're sweeter and more
tender.
Cut baby bok choy lengthwise into quarters, rinse, and dry off. (You can rinse
before you cut, but it's easier to get any sort of nasty stuff that's caught between the leaves if they're
sliced open). In a saute pan with high sides, bring about ¼ c. water or vegetable
broth to a boil (The bok choy will give off some water later, too). Add 2 Tbsp. Korean
ggoh-choo-jahng (spicy red pepper paste), 2 Tbsp soy sauce, and about 4-5
cloves chopped garlic. Reduce to simmer, and add bok choy. Let braise until bok choy are
tender.
