I don’t know if you remember when I said, I am not a fan of the rotisserie chicken breasts. All the seasonings are on the skin, and by the time you get deep into the breasts, near the bones, more often than not, they are dry and taste like nothing. Like I need to dip […]
The first time I ate salsa verde is when I first came to the US. I stayed with my friend’s family whose mom, doesn’t like to cook. One day I saw her just putting six pieces of chicken thighs into a crockpot/slow cooker and covered the chicken with bottled salsa verde from Trader’s Joe. I […]
I know that you could get this easily from the store. But making it yourself is so much more fun and you can say -I made something homemade today! I actually thought anything homemade is complicated also if you could get the store bought ones and sometimes they are cheaper too, why would you bother […]
Back when I had more than a handful of roommates, one of them was from Russia and one day, she made this dish. She just put everything in a large container, so it didn’t look very appetizing but she insisted on getting me to try a spoonful of it. And I ended up finishing the […]
While broccoli is more popular for your source of fiber. I much prefer Brussel Sprouts. I guess because it’s crispier and I can always get away cooking this with bits of bacons. Also I think they are much more flavorful than broccoli. Fun fact: Brussels sprouts are thought to have originated in Rome, but they really hit their […]
I didn’t like salad as much, maybe because my mom never made it. I didn’t like veggies at all. I used to be bribed by my mom so I would eat some veggies, those were the days when I got paid doing one thing, eating. In Indonesia, there are some type of salad called gado-gado, […]
I have two vegetarian roommates who also Jewish, they aren’t from Israel but they went there few times, cause is the land. I cooked for my roommates sometimes, so I thought this should be something that they wouldn’t say no to. Apparently shakshuka is like their national dish. I had to revise my original recipe, […]
I always thought that Cauliflower is just a faded broccoli. They look so much the same, only different color and texture I guess. Another thing that similar between the both of them is, I don’t really know how to cut them into florets. Especially a head of cauliflower, it’s always bigger than my knife so […]
Again, carb is not my favorite nutrient in food, as you could probably tell from my recipe collections, there are no bake goods or dessert recipe, because I don’t like the taste of carbs. Growing up in Asia, my mother thought that in order to make her children grow up, they should eat rice. So […]
