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!)
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.

Lately, I have been wanting to eat every colourful fruit and vegetable in sight. I don’t know if I have the Spring weather to thank, or if my body is hinting that it wants even more veggies. Either way, I’m not complaining! The recipe I am following is from plantuniversity.ca. Their site is full of…
Today had been a productive day of writing, but I began cooking dinner much later than I had planned. It was one of those, “Do I really need to cook dinner?” days. We had taken meat out of the freezer the night before because of course, I had been excited to cook…then. Don’t get me…
I don’t know about you, but I love sweet potatoes. Sweet potato fries, sweet potato chili, mashed sweet potatoes- you name it! I recently had another massive craving for sweet potatoes, so it was time to try something new.
