Happy Sunday Everybody. 

Weekend for me is busy time.... well..as busy as week days actually (^,^).. But in week end I always spend more times to makes additional snacks for the family-- especially for my little one. For some kind of snack which can be frozen (make a head) I usually stock up a bit much so any time my Sahnaz wants a snack it can be ready in a minute ..just heat it in oven or just fry it.

This time I make tuna croquettes. I  mixed my croquettes with carrots for more healthy reason . But If  you want to make it and skip it .. go ahead .. but I prefer snack for my kid ..anything..with vegetables. 

You can make it in advance and store in freezer. Use within 1 week. 

Make about 20 pcs 

Ingredients:
- about 500 gr potato (peel and wash)
- 2 medium carrot
- 2 spring onion, chopped coarsely 
- Canned tuna 160 ~ 180 g (strain the oil )
- ± 40 g  butter or margarine (I use butter) 
- 2 tablespoons flour 
- 1/2 cup (120 ml)  milk
- 1 small onion. finely chopped 
- 3 cloves of garlic. finely chopped 
- Pepper powder to taste 
- Sugar and salt to taste

Peynirli Yumurtalı Pide / Turkish Pide bread with cheese and egg topping

In Turkey, pita (called pide) has a soft, chewy texture. The pizza-like foods called lahmacun are made with oval-shaped pieces of pide dough topped with finely chopped meat and herbs before baking. Pide also refers to another pizza-like food made of pide dough topped with different ingredients. Regional variations in the shape, baking technique, and topped materials create distinctive styles for each region. Such pides can include chicken, beef, cheese, potatoes, garlic and many other ingredients. Beside Pide with meat topping, chicken topping, Turkish sausage topping, this time I made it with cheese and egg  topping. Also you can choose ayran for drink.

Serve: 8 pieces medium size

Crunchy Teriyaki Chicken Rice bowl / Ayam saus teriyaki

Selam everybody... Merhaba from Turkey

Suddenly missed and wanted to eat this food. This menu reminds me on typical menu of Japanese restaurant with a taste of Indonesia. If you live in Indonesia you will understand and know exactly the unique and characteristic of foods I mean. In Bursa, city I live now, as far as I know, it's hard to find a Japanese fast food restaurant .. maybe in starred hotel provides one or two Japanese food in their menu, mostly sushi-and I don't really like the taste...

Well, to ease sense of longing of Japanese food (with Indonesian taste), this Chicken rice bowl is enough to treat it .. Let's try it also in your kitchen. It won't disappoint you ...

Since this is my first attempt to make it, I didn't measure the exact amount of some ingredient... it's just simply according to my taste based on how it's real taste on my memory.

Serve about 2 portion

Ingredients A:

- Boneless chicken (about 300gr) thinly sliced, season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

- 1 medium egg, beaten off

- 3 Tbsp cornstarch

- 2 Tbsp flour
