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!)
I usually have pork tenderloins whenever I get a craving for pork. Since I’ve made tenderloin a thousand times, I thought I would switch it up (just a little bit). I have memories of having pork chops for dinner as a kid, however, I honestly don’t think I’ve made them more than 10 times throughout…
This one pot vegetable pasta sauce was inspired by a recipe found on Healthy Little Foodies. While I wish that I could eat pasta for every meal, it probably wouldn’t be the best idea. This is why I searched for a pasta recipe that included a good amount of vegetables and that didn’t use a…
This eggplant pizza recipe is the latest addition to my “healthier meals” collection. As I continue adding more nutritious meal options to my diet, I find myself craving the not-so-healthy meals that I love. I didn’t know how great my willpower would be when I started being more mindful of the food I’m eating. So…
I am currently going through a massive salad phase. If I could eat it for every meal, I would gladly do so. Today’s salad is brought to you by a recipe I have made in the past but had forgotten about. Therefore, I’ll give credit to SkinnyMs. for reminding me of how much I love…
I’ve been working more than I’ve been cooking lately. This is far from a bad thing, but I’m also realizing quite a few things about myself. Not every realization is ground-breaking, but all of them are motiving (in one way or another). A few of the things that have remained untouched throughout surviving a “mid-life…
I am unable to remember when I first tried orzo. But, I do remember wondering if it was a grain or pasta. In the end, it didn’t matter because I loved it. If you’re looking for something full of carbs while also being fibrous, orzo is a good option. Since I haven’t made orzo too…
For the longest time, I was not a fan of coconut. There was something about it that while I couldn’t identify what it was, had made me dislike the taste. A few years ago, I almost didn’t make a recipe, simply due to the fact that it called for coconut milk. I made it anyway,…
As I have mentioned in previous posts, I’m making a point of trying new recipes. And so, here is a recipe for low-calorie lasagna rolls from Skinny Ms. When I think of lasagna, a couple of things come to mind. 1) It’s too heavy, and 2) There is nothing worse than getting a bite of…
