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!)
Does anyone else wish they could have an endless supply of shrimp? I never get tired of it. It’s an ingredient that is perfect for the Summer. However, many shrimp dishes are ideal for the colder, “in-between seasons” months too! (I’ve made some form of shrimp soup how many times now?) This Shrimp Korma is…
After a long week, cooking might be the last thing you feel like doing. While cooking often feels like a mini therapy session, sometimes I simply don’t want to cook. This Spiced Chicken Sauté Recipe was made on a Friday night after a very busy week. It takes less than an hour to make and…

It’s true, I post quite a few salmon recipes. It’s healthy and delicious, what can I say? However, I hesitated to post yet another salmon recipe. Then, I considered that I’m always looking for new ways to prepare it. I know I can’t be alone so here’s another salmon dish option. This Bang Bang Baked…
