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 am far from a baker. Better yet, dessert isn’t even my favorite part of a meal. However, as I continue to try new things, I thought I would try making a muffin version of an idea I’ve had for quite some time. I love Reese’s Cups. There’s just something about the chocolate and soft…
While I love trying new and healthy recipes, sometimes I need to give in to my sweet tooth. If I don’t, I know that the next time I go shopping, I’ll come home with the food that I’m trying to avoid. So, as I always do, I turned to the internet for a “healthier distraction”…
I’m warning you now; you should double, triple, or quadruple the ingredients for this Creamy Potato Leek Soup recipe. It is so delicious that we ate the entire pot in one sitting and were left wanting more. I’ve used leeks before, but I never thought about whether or not they would be a good addition…

Whether they’re raw and eaten as a healthy snack, or used as a healthy addition to stir-fry and/or fajita dishes; they’re one of my favorite fruits. Yes, it’s a fruit; not a…
Lately, I’ve been in the mood to cook meals that are refreshing and healthy (well… healthier). Montreal currently has the “not too hot, not too cold” weather that is perfect for Spring. It has also been quite overcast (if not in fact raining) most days. This is why I thought a bright salad would help…
My desire to cook things I have never tried to cook before continues with this Coconut Mango Chicken. It is simple to make, it doesn’t take hours, and you’re left with a dish that you feel content eating. It’s the perfect combination of comforting lean protein and healthy, colorful fruit. Honestly, I’ve come a long…
This slow cooker chicken & sweet potatoes recipe was perfect for today. It’s a hot, hot, hot, end of the week here in Montreal! With a high of 31°F today, there was no way I was going to be turning on my oven. Inspired by a recipe from SkinnyMs., I had all the ingredients peeled,…
