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!)
I love chicken, and I love orzo. It’s also no secret that I have a slight obsession with feta cheese and tomatoes. It’s no wonder why this Greek Chicken and Feta Orzo recipe inspired by Recipetineats becomes one big bowl of delicious flavors that I could eat every day. Whenever I see a chicken recipe,…
I’ve said it many times- trout is a great fish option that doesn’t require several extra seasonings in order to taste delicious. (It’s also a great substitute when salmon isn’t on sale). This recipe inspired by one found in The Healthy Kitchen: Recipes for a Better Life, Body and Spirit is a simple broiled trout…
This Simple Bell Pepper Soup inspired by a recipe by Judi on allrecipes, was honestly made so that we would have something extra yummy to go with some tomato, basil, and mozzarella paninis I was making. I’m not a huge fan of tomato soup, so the idea of replacing them with bell peppers was an…

This Shrimp and Quinoa recipe inspired by Her Highness Hungry Me was the light and healthy meal that my body was craving. For many of the ingredients, you may want to measure with your heart (and stomach) to accommodate the number of servings you wish to make. Sometimes, if I stick with what the original…
We’ve been in a “wrap mood” for the past while. Maybe it’s the fact that they’re comforting (especially while experiencing this cold nearly-February weather), but I couldn’t stop thinking about making them. I’m a huge fan of quesadillas, fajitas… basically anything Mexican. However, I couldn’t remember the last time I made enchiladas. While looking for…
This Simple Minestrone Soup recipe, inspired by Nyssa’s Kitchen, is the perfect healthy soup regardless of the time of year. However, as I type this, we are entering the last couple of weeks of November, and there is freezing rain pelting against our windows. This means that I am getting into full-force “cozy mode”.
