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’m warning you now; you should double, triple, or quadruple the ingredients for this Creamy Potato Leek Soup recipe. It is so delicious that we ate the entire pot in one sitting and were left wanting more. I’ve used leeks before, but I never thought about whether or not they would be a good addition…
Is there anything better than an avocado salad? To be fair, I think I ask “Is there anything better than….” after almost every meal I make. Do you want to know what I’ve discovered since starting to eat healthier meals more consistently? That the more “good for you food” you eat, the more often you…
What first caught my attention about this Roasted Red Pepper Soup, was the idea of roasting red peppers. I simply love bell peppers.

It is simple to make, it doesn’t take hours, and you’re left with a dish that you feel content eating. It’s the perfect combination of comforting lean protein and healthy, colorful fruit. Honestly, I’ve come a long…
This slow cooker chicken & sweet potatoes recipe was perfect for today. It’s a hot, hot, hot, end of the week here in Montreal! With a high of 31°F today, there was no way I was going to be turning on my oven. Inspired by a recipe from SkinnyMs., I had all the ingredients peeled,…
Salmon with Avocado Sauce- a recipe I have wanted to try for some time! If you’ve followed me for a while, you probably know how much I love salmon. While I am trying to learn about responsible fishing practices and healthy alternatives, I still enjoy eating salmon every now and then. Basically, whenever it’s on…
Have you ever been extremely excited to cook something, just to realize one ingredient isn’t useable? I was so excited to try a new salmon recipe, but the avocados I needed weren’t ripe enough. I even looked up ways to ripen avocados quicker, but I didn’t think it was worth it to rush the process….
