My ordinary but precious days of my life
These days, I feel thankful that nothing is special and that my family is all well.
As my family tends to stay home more, I get to cook more and go grocery shopping more often.
Today shall we take a quick peek at my shopping cart, organize and cook together?
I love to buy fruits in bulk at Costco.
For fruit lovers like my family, only Costco can afford huge fruit consumption.
I always purchase Avocado oil and honey only at Costco.
I am going to cook with asparagus and salmon for dinner tonight.
Cut off the tough ends of asparagus.
I am going to put the rest and store them in a recycled pasta container.
I always buy salmon with a “Raised Without Antibiotics” sticker on it.
When I cut fish, I use a recycled milk carton on top of my cutting board so that it is easier to clean and wash the cutting board afterwards.
I am going to introduce a really simple and easy salmon recipe!
You don’t need to make any complex sauce. All you need is Italian salad dressing!
Let it marinate for a bit and bake it in the oven and that’s it!
All you need is enough dressing sauce to make it tasty.
The sound of sizzling makes it more delicious.
Take it out and add asparagus, lemon and remaining sauce and then bake them again for a few more minutes.
I bought Kirkland kombucha to reduce and replace drinking carbonated water.
But this one has a strong ginger taste so I had to mix it with another carbonated water lol.
Croissants from Costco are the best as they are affordable and delicious.
I cut them in half to make it easier to cook and store.
I took out the cranberry/blueberry compote I made last night with my soup maker.
Add some fruit slices.
My soup maker is working in full power mode nowadays in my kitchen!
Another simple meal together!
Let’s organize and stock up my pantry together, shall we?
With the popular Honolulu Cookies on hand, I feel like I am in Hawaii.
Buying coffee beans in bulk at Costco is also cost effective, right?
I love this cereal with granola and almonds.
I don’t know why I feel so happy when my pantry is all filled up.
As onion lovers, I always buy onions in bulk at Costco.
I am going to make “Greek Yogurt Peach” (aka. Greek momo) that is hot and trendy in SNS nowadays.
Cut out the seed part and take it out with the tongs.
Now fill the pit with Greek Yogurt.
While freezing it for a while after peeling off the skin,
let’s grab cereal that I bought from Costco.
Place the peach on top of cereal and granola.
Then add honey on top.
I often eat Greek yogurt with honey and fruit toppings.
But with this recipe, not only does it taste good, but it also makes my eyes happy.
Late in the evening, my kitchen is reopened again =)
When I find new Korean products in Costco (US), I just grab them without thinking whether they will be good or not.
Today’s late night snack is kimchi-Jeon (Kimchi pancakes).
This one is convenient and simple that you just need to mix everything together.
I’ve added more Korean Kimchi I bought from Costco.
I’ve also added some onions and squid too.
We cannot miss Makgeolli (Korean rice wine) with Kimchi pancakes!
The scent of coffee itself makes me feel happy and thankful.
To me, all cakes from American bakeries are too sweet for me. But this cake from Costco is like a hidden gem that you gotta try!
I brew coffee with coffee beans from Costco.
A cup of milk is for my daughter.
This cake is moist, soft and most importantly, not too sweet!
Another ordinary day goes by.
