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!)
For the longest time, I was not a fan of coconut. There was something about it that while I couldn’t identify what it was, had made me dislike the taste. A few years ago, I almost didn’t make a recipe, simply due to the fact that it called for coconut milk. I made it anyway,…
As I have mentioned in previous posts, I’m making a point of trying new recipes. And so, here is a recipe for low-calorie lasagna rolls from Skinny Ms. When I think of lasagna, a couple of things come to mind. 1) It’s too heavy, and 2) There is nothing worse than getting a bite of…
