As our keto Thanksgiving recipes draw to a close last week, my husband and I decided to get off the bandwagon and take a cheat month. I have been in a plateau state, never above 138lbs but nerver below 134lbs. I seem to always gain weight during the winter, and then go back down to a healthy 128lbs in the summer. If this is something that happens to you too, let me know! It seems as if my body never adjusted to the cold growing up in a tropical country.
With all that said, December is my birthday month and I do tend to treat myself more often as it gets close. I’ve decided to make a simple nasi goreng recipe for the week. This looks like a lot of rice, and I thought it would have lasted for at least 4 days, but we basically finished it off on the second day! It’s so delicious, and as much as it isn’t an extravagant meal, fried rice is my comfort food and it tasted so homey to me.
I really hope you enjoyed this recipe. This is so easy to make and you can portion it out for a whole week if you live alone. It is also pretty cheap to make if you’re on a budget. If you’re really broke, here’s another recipe for you to try out!
Till next time!
