Click HERE to watch the video of this! One of my absolute favorite things to do is invite people over to my house and feed them. No really, like feed them a LOT. It’s an obsession to feed people lots of food. I’m turning into my grandmother. Even more than inviting people over just toRead More

Chicken Piccata
Although I finished culinary school last August and went out with a bang as this dish for my final exam, I still can’t seem to get enough of this recipe. It’s delicious. I made it a few times at home before the big exam, and enjoyed every taste test of it. The first time IRead More
Chicken Cordon Bleu
This has to be one of my favorite chicken dishes of all time. The first time I had it was on a dinner cruise in elementary school, and although the chicken cordon bleu I had then was one of the little frozen ones you can buy at the grocery store, I couldn’t get enough of it. SeveralRead More
Homemade Spaghetti Sauce
Spaghetti is such an easy meal, in so many ways. It’s very popular, it’s easy to heat up some sauce and to boil some noodles, and of course throwing some garlic bread in the oven. I honestly don’t remember ever hearing someone say “Eww!” when they heard they were having spaghetti for dinner. Shoot, theRead More
Vegetable Tortilla Soup
Well, it’s been a while since my last post… I recently took a part time job working as a cook in a restaurant, so now I’m working two jobs, going to culinary school, and making sure there’s quality time with the family in there with all of that going on. Can we say busy? Whew! But,Read More
Black Bean Veggie Burgers
I don’t know about you, but I didn’t eat so healthy over the holidays. All of the amazing cookies, chocolates, casseroles, gravy, stuffing, cakes, and everything else you could possibly think of that’s NOT healthy for you…that’s what I ate. Oh wait, I believe there was a green veggie or two squeezed in there, althoughRead More
Chicken Noodle Soup
Well, it’s a brand new year…AND it’s cold outside. So, how about starting out the new year with a healthy, delicious, warm and satisfying classic comfort food? Okay then, let’s do it! After making the chicken and corn chowder, I had to make more soups. You can actually use the same procedures with this soupRead More
Baked Quinoa Ratatouille
In our Vegetables, Grains, and Starches class in culinary school, Ratatouille was one of the dishes that we made. When I told friends and family about what we made that night, I realized that very few of them had actually tried it, which surprised me…but they’d heard of the name before because of the movie. Read More
Homemade Hamburger Helper
Growing up in our family, we were big fans of Hamburger Helper. It was quick, easy, and delicious. My mom could whip up a batch of this and serve it with some corn and green beans, and we’d have a complete meal. Within the past couple of years, I’ve learned a little too much aboutRead More
Chicken and Corn Chowder
I have a confession to make… Growing up, I ate canned soup. As in, I think that may have been the ONLY kind of soup I ate. Once my brothers and I got set in our ways when it came to food and we found something we liked, there was no straying from that. InRead More
