After falling in love with cooking over ten years ago, I’ve made it a goal to cook and learn about various ingredients and dishes. It’s all about learning- not about the meals being perfect. Please join me as I continue this adventure! (98% of the recipes end up being delicious- it’s worth following along!)
While I am making a point of eating healthier, I don’t want to follow such a restrictive diet that I’m left to crave “junk” food anyway (Read: This May Be Why You Crave That Burger). As I figure out the proper balance of my diet, I will continue what I have been doing a.k.a eating…
To be frank, I rarely buy quinoa. Which, is a bit odd since every time I eat it, I enjoy it. (There is a Tabbouleh salad that I make during the summer that is delicious). In order to add quinoa to my “winter meal plan”, I thought I would try making a Thai quinoa salad….
Thanks to this week’s specials and recipe inspiration from Seasons and Suppers, the recipe of the week is… *Drumroll, please*… peppercorn pork chops!

It’s simple enough to make on a weeknight, and the leftovers are great for lunches the next day. Perfect for meal prep, you get a good serving of vegetable, protein,…
This Irish Tea Cake from Let’s Dish Recipes uses ingredients already found in most pantries. I haven’t exactly been the most successful baker, but the goal to be one has not been left behind in 2022. Along with learning Finnish (Thank you, Duolingo), I am making it a goal to bake at least 12 new…
Salmon is one of my favorite fishes to eat. It’s soft and flaky, and if desired, can have deliciously crisp skin. While I have only made a raw salmon dish once or twice, my partner loves sushi. I thought these baked salmon sushi cups would make a good compromise. He gets all the makings of…
This sheet pan chicken with red pepper sauce recipe from Feed Me Phoebe caught my attention due to the idea of a red pepper sauce. Of course, red pepper sauce isn’t a foreign concept to me, but I haven’t made it often. One-pan meals have become some of my favorite recipes to make. I love…
