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!)
Peanut Noodle Stir-Fry with Vegetables Inspired by another recipe found in Evelyn Raab’s Basic Vegetarian Cooking, this one was a hit with my toddler. We are lucky he loves vegetables, (especially edamame), and he loved this dish. Since several of the ingredients for this recipe are also used in the Sweet Potato Chili, I already had…
Inspired by a recipe in Basic Vegetarian Cooking by Evelyn Raab, this Vegetarian Sweet Potato Chili is perfect if you’re looking for a healthier (and cheaper), alternative to chili made with meat. I enjoy making meatless meals now and then, and I always want to make sure they are healthy. Sweet potatoes are an excellent…
Coriander, Ginger, and Chile Butter Chicken This was the first time I made butter chicken at home from scratch. I had tried VH Butter Chicken Sauce in the past, but wasn’t a fan.

I had never made chocolate chunk cookies before, and I wanted to see how their recipe turned out. As I finished preparing the dough, I was left with not enough batter, and…
Canadian Living Beef Stroganoff Found on page 15 of the Jan/Feb 2018 Edition of Canadian Living, this recipe was a must try. I have tried making Beef Stroganoff before, but I am always trying new recipes to experiment with. I really enjoyed this recipe, although while it is called “Speedy Beef Stroganoff” in Canadian Living,…
This chicken recipe is so tender, juicy, and full of flavor. It has simple ingredients and uses the cheaper cut of chicken. Serve with a side of carrots or peas, rice made with the broth from the chicken, and you will have a delicious dinner. If you are not a fan of chicken skin, simply…
My plan was to make Bee’s Sugar Cookies, but when I started baking, I realized I didn’t have any shortening. I also left my baking to the day before the get-together that I needed the cookies for (oops!). To save time, I wanted a recipe that didn’t include having to chill the dough. I found…
