Fiery General Tso's chicken. Tender eggplant tossed with chicken and shrimp. Hunan beef infused with heat. These are just three of the signature dishes at Z&T Chinese Cafe, a recently unveiled restaurant in Katy known for its fresh Asian food, efficient service, and simple, clean design.

The menu is divided into chicken, beef, shrimp, and veggie dishes, plus a few other categories, so pick your meal based on your chosen protein. Savor tender chicken in dishes like the sweet-and-our chicken, the chicken with broccoli, or the cashew nut chicken. When it comes to red meat, there's beef with garlic sauce, pepper steak with onion, and jalapeno beef. You can also indulge in some shrimp with lobster sauce or crispy shrimp with walnut. Almost all of the dishes come with a side of rice, making each meal hearty enough to fill you up at dinner.

Many people have a sweet tooth that creates a craving for chocolate, but while the occasional indulgence is okay, eating too much chocolate could be the end to your healthy diet. Here are a few healthy ways to eat chocolate that will keep you right on track when a craving strikes.

Chocolate Tart with Hazelnut Shortbread Crust [Eating Well]
Make this seemingly decadent dessert the next time you have friends over for dinner, and no one will even know that it’s actually healthy. With just over 250 calories per serving and six grams of protein, you’ll get the taste of chocolate without feeling weighed down.

Black Bean Brownies [Chocolate Covered Katie]
While the addition of black beans to brownies may seem strange at first, you won’t even be able to taste the protein-packed beans when they’re masked by the rich, dense chocolate flavor. These brownies are also flourless, which is great for low-carb diets.

Healthy Homemade Chocolate [Wellness Mama]
Instead of grabbing a fat- and sugar-packed candy bar from the checkout counter at the grocery store, make your own healthier version at home. This recipe includes only four ingredients, and because they’re all natural, you won’t have to worry about ingesting any chemicals and unnatural ingredients.

Jumbo lump crab meat, rice noodles, peanut-roasted shallots, mango, and lettuce mingle inside of crispy rolls of rice paper, all drizzled with fish sauce. These are the Little V spring rolls, a steadfast favorite at the Little V Vietnamese Bistro. You can also choose your own meat and order the classic spring rolls, which come ith pork, chicken, shrimp, or tofu. Or you can skip appetizers all together and get to the main event: dinner.

The shaking beef wok is a house specialty, an entree of beef tenderloin over steamed jasmine rice. For something with more heat, try the spicy lemongrass tofu, chicken, or beef over rice. There's also the decadent roasted duck with a side of fresh fruit and rice. Vermicelli bowls, curry, and, of course, noodle soups round out the menu at Little V Vietnamese Bistro in Katy.
