Basic Vinaigrette

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, […]

Keto Mac & Cheese

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 […]

Orek Tempeh

Another recipe from my childhood. They say that fragrance brings back memories, and that is so true. Another thing they say, that you eat with your eyes, nose and finally your mouth, this one is also true. The whole kitchen smells like my mother’s kitchen when I cooked this and I thought, I must be […]

Homemade Dips

I have so much fun making these dips! I had received a PR package from Kibo Foods they sent me a bunch of chickpea chips. So the idea of making three different colors of dips came to mine. The chips are enjoyable to eat alone, but these dips are the perfect company for any kind […]

Skillet Zucchini & Sausage

Once upon a time, I went to the grocery store to get cucumbers, and I ended up with zucchini instead. And I called my self a foodie. How do I hold my self accountable if I can’t even tell the difference between the two? Anyhow, fast forward to me cutting the ‘cucumber’ in half only […]

Zucchini Rollatini

I have another recipe with zucchini, although I know the summer is about to end or finally ended. No more zucchini growing out of anyone’s ears! But this one is quite a catch, especially for you who are trying to do low carb diet or keto. I don’t have mandolin so I just use vegetable […]

Three Bean Salad

This one is perfect for the summer. I had three bean salad the very first time at a barbecue house. This is one of the many side dish they offered. Even for my salad, it must be hearty. Give me all the protein! You can make this with any beans you desire. You can also […]

Cilantro Lime Chicken

This dish literally only needs cilantro, lime and chicken. I make it fancy by adding some garlic, cumin and olive oil. But I suspect that if you really only use cilantro, lime and chicken, this dish would still turn out wonderful. Also super cheap and perfect for the budget while maintaining to be really tasty, […]

Taco Casserole

This recipe is dedicated to my dear friend Jayde, who is always so busy so she needs a quick recipe while maintaining all the necessary nutrients. 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 […]
