Growing up in a Filipino household meant that rice is king. It’s not unheard of for us to consume it three times a week. It’s still very hard for me to stay away from it, especially during family parties, but having lived on my own for the past three years has helped a lot with cutting back on my daily intake.
Don’t get me wrong, I still crave it every once in a while, but I’ve learned to substitute healthier options that satisfy the yearning without sacrificing taste.
