I find myself pretty lucky that both Cole and I agree about the ingredients to make up the best pasta dishes. We both choose Alfredo sauce over marinara, chicken over beef, and broccoli over any other veggie. The only hitch is the mushrooms. I would love to add mushrooms into all pasta dishes, but Cole […]

Memorial Day Weekend is approaching, and along with it comes summer, the season of celebrating both college and high school graduations, and weddings galore. While the summer of 2020 may look a little different in terms of large gatherings, one thing remains the same, graduates deserve to be congratulated. If this were a normal schoolContinue […]

As summer approaches, I’ve been trying to eat a little healthier and lighter. While I find this very easy to do with breakfasts and dinners, making lunches is always more of a challenge for me. Most of the time I just take some roasted sweet potatoes in a dish and call it good enough, but […]

Buffalo flavored food is a trend that is ever growing, and it is one that I have bought into whole-heartedly. I have loved buffalo wings ever since I was a child, and I will continue to be tempted every time I see a new buffalo recipe or item on a menu.  When I was in […]

I LOVE pumpkin. It is one of my absolute favorite ingredients, and when combined with chocolate, it is pretty much my definition of perfection. Of course, one cannot make it through a whole morning on a super sugary breakfast though, so I needed to find a way to make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins with a […]

I can remember the first time I ever tried shellfish. My grandma always bought the holiday platters with shrimp and cocktail sauce to serve at our family gathering on Christmas Eve. In my childhood curiosity I wanted to try one so badly, but I was nervous because my dad was allergic to all forms of […]

Sometimes I think that snack foods and appetizers are the best of all the food courses, and among all the many options in this food category, guacamole consistently comes out on top. Maybe it’s because it can be eaten with a little less guilt. Avocados are notoriously known as a super healthy food, so the […]

I have three favorite kinds of cake: chocolate, red velvet, and strawberry. It doesn’t matter what every traditional recipe calls for, in my mind, all three of these cakes need one thing to make them perfect – chocolate frosting, more specifically, dark chocolate frosting. When I first started baking cakes, frosting was something that I […]

*This recipe is intended for a gas grill that has more than one shelf* I have enjoyed cooking my entire life, but my interest began to peak when I entered high school. This was when I discovered the art of grilling. My mom received her breast cancer diagnosis when I was a freshman in high […]

Okay, I’m going to start out this blog post by saying that I am by no means an expert on this topic. I am simply a person that loves to cook, who wants my dream kitchen. However, I am also a very frugal person, so I know that I will never be able to justify […]
