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!)
As I’ve said numerous times before, I could eat pasta every single day. However, I’m trying to lose a bit of weight in a healthy manner, and this entails exercising more, and simply being more mindful of what I’m eating. Luckily, I find that my pasta cravings are very slightly diminishing. This led me to…
This Roasted Puerto Rican Chicken Recipe by Well Kept Wallet is a new way to include chicken into our meal plan. For years, I have wanted to make something similar to the chicken served at Romados Rotisserie et Patisserie located on Rue Rachel E in Montreal.

However, since I don’t want to eat salty, greasy fries in an attempt to satiate my craving, I…

Sometimes, you just want to throw a bunch of ingredients into a pot and enjoy some comfort food. This One Pot Fajita Pasta inspired by Sweet Peas and Saffron is the perfect recipe for such an occasion….
