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!)
This Ground Sesame Chicken recipe from Mantitlement, was perfect for the amount of energy I had for cooking tonight. The Winter tends to drain my battery a bit faster and after going for a nice, long walk yesterday (I post stories and photos of most of my walks to Instagram), I wanted to make something…
After a very kind friend gifted us some tasty ingredients, it was time to make this Beef Udon Soup! I don’t have too much experience with Udon noodles so I was a tad apprehensive. Nonetheless, I was excited to try making something new for the start of the New Year. Who doesn’t love a new…
I love how making one new recipe can lead you to learn even more new recipes. As I was making the Beef and Shrimp Udon Soup recipe, they suggested topping it with ramen eggs. Had I ever made ramen eggs before? No. I’ve made several different kinds of egg dishes but preparing them this way…
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…
In terms of having a “soup season”, mine lasts all year round. Today in Montreal, there is no sign of snow but it is a rainy and wet day. While you wouldn’t be able to tell that Christmas is a week away, the weather is perfect for making soup. This creamy mushroom soup is therefore…
Ever since I was introduced to Julia Child, I’ve wanted to make Boeuf Bourguignon. So, why has it taken me so long to make it? I was intimidated. It was similar to how Gordon Ramsay’s talent for making Beef Wellington can dissuade a person (me) from trying to make it themselves. (Although I did eventually…
Back in 2018, I made Gordon Ramsay’s Beef Wellington and I never ended up posting about it. Why? I didn’t enjoy it. It was disappointing to me and I didn’t understand why I couldn’t enjoy it after so much time being excited for it. This had nothing to do with the recipe itself. (It turned…
This Shrimp and Red Lentil Soup recipe was found on Giant Eagle after I had looked at everything I had in my fridge, freezer, and pantry. It was almost grocery day, so it was the perfect timing for using what I had on hand. On a cold night, it was exactly what I was craving….
