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!)
Yesterday, I made Crispy Chickpeas with Pork (which was delicious). While that was a successful recipe, I had other plans for how to use the pork- this tasty pork and chickpea soup by Woman’s Day. Budgeting-wise, this just goes to show how many meals you can get out of one package of ground meat! Since…
To say that I was excited about lunch is an understatement. I had planned on making this Crispy Chickpeas with Pork recipe for a couple of days, so I was eager to begin cooking. One of the biggest things that I need to work on, is not skipping meals. For example, while I love breakfast…
If you were to ask my Mom whether or not I like mushrooms, she would probably mention how I disliked them when I was a child. Over the years, this changed… slightly. Mind you, they still aren’t in my Top 10 foods. This doesn’t stop me from using them in recipes! Thanks to the health…

If you love shrimp as much as I do, you probably keep an eye out for new ways to incorporate them into your meals. I have yet to make a shrimp recipe that I haven’t liked! They are easy to make, can be used in both appetizers and main dishes, and are delicious. This Creamy…
When I saw this Egg Roll Bowl recipe from pinch of yum, I wasn’t even sure that I would try it. Fast forward two days, and here we are with the groceries newly done and with the proper ingredients awaiting me. While I enjoy Chinese food, I have never been a huge egg roll fan….
I can’t believe that it has taken me 32 years to make focaccia bread. Whenever it has been served, I have completely devoured it, and I have always wanted seconds. Okay, fine… seconds and thirds. The fact that I haven’t made it yet is probably due to my assumption that certain recipes were out of…
