I had a rotisserie chicken from the day before and decided to turn it into a meal!! My husband could not get enough of it!!

Fermented Cassava is an everyday snack for some people around Asia. Here’s one of the recipe that put together East and Western ingredients and turn it into a nice fluffy chiffon cake that’s not too sweet and rise nicely due to the acid from the fermented cassava in it.

This is a really delicious and filling breakfast smoothie, one to try if you're a fan of more exotic flavours.A few weeks back, I finally took the plunge and ordered a NutriBullet. After seeing so many tempting instagram snaps and Pinterest recipes, I couldn't resist. About the same time, the Almond Board of California got in touch with me to ask if I'd like to take their 21-day Snack Happy Challenge (http://www.almonds.co.uk/snack-happy-challenge). The stars had aligned perfectly.I've been snacking on a handful of almonds every day this month, and including them in my favourite smoothie recipes.Why almonds?• A handful of almonds (30g) provide approximately 65% of your daily requirement of vitamin E.• Almonds are a high source of fibre, are packed with healthy, unsaturated fats and are a natural source of protein.• Almonds are rich in calcium, which is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.• Almonds are a high source of magnesium, which contributes to reducing tiredness and fatigue.• Almonds provide linoleic acid, which contributes to maintaining normal cholesterol levels.• Just a handful of these noble nuts is all you need to up your daily nutrient intake. Pop them in your handbag to snack on-the-go in your moments of need.

As the days get chillier, I thought it would be nice to share this recipe for Coconut Pancakes with Coconut Maple Syrup. The waft of coconut on a cold morning is a nice way to remind us of warmer times and places.A melt in your mouth buttery and tender, mildly coconut flavored pancake with the sweet-salty note of the coconut maple syrup... A lovely fusion of good ol' fluffy American pancakes, and a sticky Thai coconut dessert.

My step mother showed me this version of cassava cake and it is by far my favorite. My mom use to always tell me. "Never eat cassava raw!! Its poisonous." So make sure you don't eat that batter before its baked! I tweaked it by putting less sugar and adding a jar of coconut strings. Taste of childhood. Enjoy!

I first had this cake in a Filipino Bakery. I fell in love at first bite. The recipe was taught to me by my friend's Mom who came to the US from "P.I." in the 1950s.

I had some grated coconut and decided to turn it into something savory and a bit spicy.

A few years ago my wife went paleo for a bit, which of course meant I went paleo, too. The best part of the experience was a recipe for chili lime chicken wings from Nom Nom Paleo. It's fantastic, please check it out. Anyway, I adapted the recipe to make this dish. I used salmon because its flavour holds up to the punchy sauce. It's not paleo, but it's still good.

#indonesiandessertHaving friends coming over for lunch today. And I am not usually doing the potluck. So I have to set up and planning the menu. Of course since they all are my Indonesian friends so I am going to cook Indonesian food for them. Tempeh mendoan, and fried pastry puff as appetizers. For main dish I choose Soto daging aka beef yellow soup because easy to cook. Then for the dessert I am going to make kue lupis, and this steamed cassava cake.So this time I am going to share my recipe how to make Indonesian steamed cassava cake aka kue talam singkong.This cake is very light, delicious and very easy to make. It’s good for summer dessert.And here is the recipe.

A jar of sundried tomatoes can really turn any bland meal into something amazing!

I love any kind of pie. But this one with toasted coconut is my go to favorite. Quick, easy and delicious. Can make into deep dish and double recipe for 2 nine inch pies. I also like just making the filling to eat for pudding snack :)

Kadedemes, according to the Dictionary of Sunda bouquet of Raden Satjadibratam, means "ngarasa lebar kubarang anu ku baturmah biasa tara diarah (pity for goods from another person that usually is not used anymore or dumped)". Eventually "Kadedemes" has been used for foods that are made from cassava peel. Maybe because usually cassava peel is not used to feed people, at best be additive to animal feed rations. But in the hands of creative people, Kadedemes, once considered waste, can be a food that they have a source of nutrition, and even can be used as a business opportunity.Kadedemes' negative meaning in the dictionary is certainly different from the meaning of cassava peel kadedemes here. Kadedemes here means creativity in harnessing the things that are considered waste into something useful. The skin of the tuber plant with the Latin name Manihot esculenta this when processed can be used as a source of carbohydrate that is still suitable for consumption, as well as a source of calories and still contains vitamin B, vitamin C, tannins and starch in high enough levels.Seeing there are many nutrients contained in this kadedemes, then it's pity if that potential would be tossed away without being used. Actually a lot of opportunities that are all around us, only we do not notice its presence, so it was just a great opportunity slip away without being caught or deliberately not arrested.The dish is believed to have existed since the colonial era. The occupiers requiring indigenous people to plant all agricultural commodities for their purposes, and the natives themselves do not get them right - one of them, do not get enough food (nutritious). So to survive, indigenous people take advantage of everything that is still edible. -_- 'Actually, I've heard the story from the original grandmother JATIM first time when she was a child never eat carrion flower bulbs, cassava peel (but she does not tell in detail how the process), and other strange food ...Yesterday afternoon I made a snack of cassava my husband wanted, so might as well try to cook cassava skins - turned out to be good also eaten with hot rice and fried anchovies ... while imagining the story of the late Mbah Kustianah his past. HEHEHE
