Fiesta Chicken Fajita Salad
This would be a great meal for hot summer days . And that’s what we had tonight , it’s super simple and easy . It requires salsa , if you do want to make it even easier , you can always get a jar of store bought salsa , but i made my own , since they’re not hard at all and you can adjust the taste to your preference . Other than that .. just a can of black beans and sweet corn and chicken breasts , and you’ll be ready for your salad ! For home made salsa , you need : (if you buy store bought ,…

Broiled Vegetables with Parmesan
Easy side dish and yummy . I made this to be served with my chicken saltimbocca . Broiling the potatoes make the skin very crispy and it’s delicious !! I am not so much into baked potatoes or mashed potatoes , although i like fries .. but we all know by now how bad fries for our health . So , in this side dish i threw in some yellow zucchini and regular zucchini in . And i thought it tasted pretty good . So here it is .. You need : Small red potatoes or yukon potatoes , choose small ones because they cook faster, i don’t want to…

Chicken Saltimbocca
I have been wanting to try this chicken saltimbocca for quite some time , but i kept postponing it because i thought it’d be too hard to roll a thin chicken breast into a jelly roll style , i would think it’d be easily crumbled and stuff . Well , it’s actually not as hard as i thought , but a little messy though .. my stove was pretty messy from the grease splattered here and there . The result was really worth it . While i was cooking this , my 7 years old son , asked me ” Mom , what are you cooking ? ” I answered…

Chicken Salad with Black Beans and Tomatoes ( Southwestern Salad )
Not too long ago i had some salad with black beans , and to my surprised , i kinda enjoyed it . I wasn’t so much into black beans , even when we go to Chipotle , i always skipped the black beans and always picked lima beans instead . My husband doesn’t mind black beans , although he switches around between black and lima beans . And we’ve been trying to add a lot of salad as dinner menu in our weekday dinner . Just the other day he said about having salad for dinner again , so i thought why not trying to make southwestern salad . I…

Bluberry Scones with Lemon Glazed
This recipe is adapted from Tyler Florence cook book . I don’t quite remember which book this was , because i collect them all .. I remember one thing though that when we moved back to Indiana back in 2008 , this was one of the first dessert i made in that kitchen . I don’t quite remember whether it’s yummy or not , but i wonder why i don’t make them that often ? I only made it once , that was the only time i did it . I think because blueberry does come in handy and if they’re not in season they’re not going to be sweet…

Sausage and Cabbage
This is a quick meal to fix , i wasn’t really in the mood to make too much mess , so cabbage and sausage it is !! I really don’t have much to say about this dish , a long time ago , i just threw in some sausage in a cabbage that i sauteed , just because i thought it would be nice to have a little meaty flavour .. Since then i’ve never really cooked it anymore .. that was back when i didn’t really know much about cooking . So , years later , now , i just realized that , there was a dish such as…

Plantains
I love plantains , to me plantains , reminds me of Pisang Agung , some type of banana that has the shape like plantains , and they’re just as long and they’re considered ripe when they have black skin , and also it’s only good for cooking . Unlike other kinds of bananas , in Indonesia we have so many types of banana , pisang ambon , pisang susu , pisang kepok , pisang raja , pisang agung .. Indonesian are so lucky to have plenty types of bananas they can eat , certain kind of bananas are only good for cooking , and some are good for both .…
