I made homemade gnocchi sometimes, whenever there is some leftovers baked potatoes. I am not an advocate for everything homemade but when there are some leftovers ingredients but also the main ingredients for another meal, then take all the opportunities presented, am I right? Honestly, there is some satisfactory in making things homemade -when its […]
Pretend Cooking
Creamy Chicken Florentine
My vegetarian roommate, who always supportive about my life choices -she said “I would not do it but if you feel strongly about eating meat, then go ahead”. I didn’t feel lectured or judged. When I was making this recipe, she was next to me cleaning her dishes -I usually cooked after her, you know […]

Spicy Korean Braised Tofu
This is a simple side dish from Korea. I actually eat this as my main and only meal sometimes. If its too spicy for you, obviously adjust the seasoning, or eat it with freshly cooked rice to make the heat a little subtle. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can fry the tofu […]
Simple Aglio e Olio
I finally have a recipe for our vegetarian friends, or vegan if you leave out the parmesan. Either way this recipe is so simple and you only need a few things. You may find all of the ingredients in your pantry, no need to even go to the store. Perfect for self-isolation week or on […]

I don’t know much about nutrients, but I know meat is source of proteins, veggies are source of vitamins and beans and corns are source of fibers. A little […]

Easy Shells Pasta
I don’t really like carbs, but for someone who claims she doesn’t like carbs, I sure eat a lot of them. My favorite is creamy sauce, but I can deal with tomatoes as long as there is more protein (meat) than the carbs (pasta). I usually go with 2:1 ratio. I had to make tomato […]
Baked Pasta
Special note for this recipe, you can use any type of small pasta. I don’t know the proper name for it, just don’t use noodles, like spaghetti or angel hair. And for sure do not use your own hair! The most common is to use ziti but really, you can use any kind, which means […]
Spinach Salad with Lox
This one right here is the definition of pretend cooking. I even bought the pre-washed baby spinach. Summer is approaching so this fresh and light salad is a go to and must eat. I have a great idea to share here, whenever I buy lox for salad, I got the trimmings. It’s cheaper and more […]
