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!)
This Honey Ground Chicken Stir Fry inspired by No Spoon Necessary is exactly what I was craving this week. When we order take-out, we usually get one of 3 cuisines- Japanese, Mexican or Italian. While my partner would be able to eat sushi any day of the week, it’s not my favorite type of food….
Now that we have entered the prime Autumn months, I am all for beginning the “Soup Season”. (Let’s be honest, I’m always in the mood for soup). While I tend to lean more towards soups that have a thinner broth, sometimes I crave a thicker, almost “chowder-y” type of soup. That’s one of the advantages…
I’ve made chocolate chip banana bread quite a few times now. It’s the perfect bread for when you want something comforting while also satisfying your sweet tooth.

Luckily, I find that my pasta cravings are very slightly diminishing. This led me to…
This Roasted Puerto Rican Chicken Recipe by Well Kept Wallet is a new way to include chicken into our meal plan. For years, I have wanted to make something similar to the chicken served at Romados Rotisserie et Patisserie located on Rue Rachel E in Montreal.

This is in reference to the marrow hole at the centre of the cross-cut veal shank. Since I have never made it before, I decided I could splurge a little bit around my birthday to…
As I continue to learn Finnish on Duolingo, I find myself wanting to connect more to that part of my heritage. I remember my Mom making pannukakku (a Finnish oven pancake), which was served with jam, and I immediately started to crave raspberries. Raspberries + the meat on sale this week = these raspberry pork…
