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!)
It’s that time of year again! Holiday parties and gatherings are upon us. Whether you’re hosting a party or are bringing a dish as an attendee, these Cranberry Meatballs are a great addition to the menu. I may even start making meatballs for pasta dishes this way (without the cranberry sauce, of course). I’ve seen…

Inspired by BBC goodfood, this Pork and Eggplant Noodles recipe enticed me simply due to the fact that it contains egg noodles. I’m trying to add more balance to my meals without sacrificing flavor; I know using pork in combination with a vegetable (in this case a fruit) will help. According to Medical News Today,…
I’ve made chicken thighs enough times to be able to cook them with a general idea of what to do. When I saw that they were on sale this week, I figured I would take the opportunity to make this dish of coconut milk chicken thighs recipe inspired by Diethood. Garlic, tomatoes, bell peppers, and…
Inspired by Homemade Mastery, this recipe of Vegetables with Ground Beef is a great way to mix healthy vegetables with comforting protein.
