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!)
When I saw this Egg Roll Bowl recipe from pinch of yum, I wasn’t even sure that I would try it. Fast forward two days, and here we are with the groceries newly done and with the proper ingredients awaiting me. While I enjoy Chinese food, I have never been a huge egg roll fan….
I can’t believe that it has taken me 32 years to make focaccia bread. Whenever it has been served, I have completely devoured it, and I have always wanted seconds. Okay, fine… seconds and thirds. The fact that I haven’t made it yet is probably due to my assumption that certain recipes were out of…

Perhaps this says more about me than it does the food, but whatever the case is, I’m not complaining. As someone who is making…
As you may know, I have become a big fan of sheet pan meals. Now that I’ve made a few of them, I’m more confident in knowing they will turn out okay. This is why I’m open to trying different types of meals with an assortment of ingredients. Tonight’s experiment used shrimp and zucchini. The…
