May I have pancake for breakfast, please?

Pancake for everyone

Yesterday was busy day. I took an exam for banking certification. Then I went to my high school reunion. Then I felt so exhausted, i just came at almost midnight last night. I have two sons and I have to make breakfast for those two. My friend gave me an idea by posting a pancake for breakfast. So I browsed some recipes over the internet. I took recipe from Martha Stewart's website. A simple pancake recipe but slightly different from other recipes that I've tried before.

I took some notes for this recipe:

1. The batter would be a little bit sticky so use small skillet to form a nice round pancakes

2. While you flattened the batter on the skillet you can lower down the heat to avoid overcooked

3. You will get the thick but soft pancake and I served the pancake with special apple n cinnamon, mango and caramel jam from Kou's Cuisine Ubud and it's delicious.

The Ingredients We Need

Nachos for Breakfast, anyone?

beef nachos

Nachos. I love Mexican food. And I love nachos.

Nachos is the perfect snack to accompany your evening talk with your girlfriends. We ordered nachos everywhere. And It's best to eat along with your afternoon coffee. It's almost like a full package of meal, cause there's carbs, protein and vegetable and fruit /avocado. If I may say,  jalapeño is a vegetable, isn't it?)

So I tried to cook nachos this morning. And I refer to one of recipe over the internet from www.taste.com.au because it's more simple that any other recipe. And it turned out, not bad at all. But I took few notes there.

Notes:

1. I didn't made the beef sauce from the scratch, I used the bolognise sauce that's ready in the refrigerator.

2. Tried to choose not really tasty corn chips with bigger slices.

3. There's no jalapeño in the recipe, so i forgot to add some.

4. Instead of tomato salsa, I used dice fresh tomatoes

5. I skipped mexican chilli powder, taco salt mixed and coriander cause it's hard to find in my hometown.

6. It's better to mix cheddar and mozzarella than only use one kind of cheese

Let's enjoy our homemade nachos :)

What We Need

Mix all the ingredients in the container and bake for about 20 minutes

prepare the dice tomato, avocado and sour cream

enjoy your home made beef nachos

Pasta with Shrimp and Lemon Oil

I follow this kitchen blog Live Love Pasta for about four years. And I love this blog written by Kara, Kelly and Cliff, since they always have simple recipe that easy to read. Yes to read, because I never challenge myself to try their recipes. But I love to read the recipes because everything are so yummy and look like easy.

My boys like pasta. And this recipe include arugula, and I love arugula. I never make pasta with the combination of shrimp and lemon. And i just love to try it, aside every excuses I made at previous. So I follow the recipe, i forgot parsley but I don't think it made any different. I didn't have big shallot so I picked 4 small shallots instead of two. And eventually 500 grams of spaghetti are really much. And I made plenty of pasta that could feed a small village.

Notes:
1. I forget my parsley but it's okay
2. I wasn't using juicer to get the lemon juice, I just squeezed the lemon and zest it with small grater
3. If you want to make a whole recipe, please use big skillet
4. Sprinkle chilli powder and parmesan cheese for more tasty pasta.
