Easy Broccoli Casserole

I once heard someone said “if your kids don’t like broccoli, serve it with cheese” And I couldn’t agree more to this statement I almost had this tattooed LOL. Just kidding. But I do totally agree, not just kids, I love broccoli even steamed broccoli, they are rich in fiber so it is good for […]

Quick and Easy Skillet Lasagna

I am so into making pasta lately, I think it has been a whole month where I eat pasta every single day, sometimes just for lunch, most days for both lunch and dinner and not only I have zero waste. I also have zero regret. Because of my natural urges of eating pasta daily, I […]

Cacio e Pepe

I can’t think of any other pasta recipe easier than this. And no, adding olive oil straight to just boiled pasta isn’t a recipe. This is the best, the saltiness and creaminess from the parmesan and just the right kick from black pepper. I’m surprised by how good a pasta dish without any sort of […]

They all very colorful with turmeric, paprika, cumin etc. I love looking at them and I got to cook something with them too.

Easy Frittata

I love the way this one look! It gives me some summer vibes. This recipe used to be the only way to get me eat some veggies. My roommate who is a vegetarian was about to pick one slice of this, he didn’t know there was chopped ham! Obviously you can leave out the ham […]

Tom Yum Fried Rice

This must have been the easiest recipe ever! Also because I cheated. I used an instant Tom Yum paste for this, cause it turned out great anyway! I remember making this a lot when I was in college. But without the veggie and the shrimps. So literally just shallot, paste and eggs. Oh and rice […]

Easy and Cheesy Baked Chicken

Looking back to this recipe actually made me miss New York so much. I’m currently in Indonesia where the lack of cheese (any types) is a constant struggle for me to create a new recipe. I love cooking with cheese and I love eating them too. Oh I only love cooked cheese, so no brie […]
