Let it be known that yes, I have indeed made beef stroganoff from scratch. I did it, it was good; but I don’t always have time to make it from scratch so blog post! Egg noodles + the secret ingredient + beef + mushrooms (optional) = a yummy 15 minute-ish dinner The secret ingredient is…
Slow Cooker Beef with Broccoli
I love my crock pot. Best investment ever. It’s a pretty great feeling to put stuff in a pot, leave it there for a few hours and BOOM! Dinner is served. One of my favorite, casual recipes is beef with broccoli. A few of the ingredients are a little expensive at first (sesame oil is…
So it’s been a few days…
No, I did not not stop eating, or cooking for that matter, I just fell behind on the blogging! Sorry to leave everyone hanging but at least this morning’s post will be full of goodies!! Actually I’ll probably just post everything I’ve been up to separately so you can pick and choose. This morning’s breakfast…
No, no more gnocchi….for now
You guessed it! I made….a gnocchi recipe. If I had the kind of time [dedication] to make gnocchi from scratch, I would (I still have some PTSD from pasta making), but I didn’t. I bought it. I like stuff with gnocchi in it….yummy, savory stuff, and I really felt like I could trust recipes from…
The failed plan…
The other day I posted about making spinach and cheese ravioli with a red meat sauce. Spoiler alert: I didn’t make my own pasta sauce, I don’t have those kinds of resources, but one day!!!! I didn’t make my own ravioli either…. But we will visit the joys of pasta making in a different post. …

THE PLAN
Today is Saturday….ergo, yesterday was pay day and Alex and I got groceries (YAY!). I totally started a blog post yesterday but never finished it so here’s the gist of it: We got groceries. Here’s a teaser list. None of what I told you about goes together. My mom invited us over for dinner last…
My New Culinary Woman Crush, and Stuffed Peppers
Ree Drummond. She’s currently my new woman crush, and what might have led to this new crush? You guessed it, her stuffed peppers (and I added a little twist, obviously). So if you didn’t know, Ree has her own show on the Food Network called “The Pioneer Woman.” She lives on a ranch, has a big…
Banana Bonanza!
Current breakfast favorite: Banana Nut Muffins Alex tested and approved! I am an avid breakfast eater. Breakfast is 100% required to start the day off with and while I do not particularly enjoy bananas by themselves, I do really enjoy banana nut bread and banana nut muffins. My grandma will probably be offended that I…
My First Blog Post!
Hey friends, This is my first blog post about why I am starting a blog! So I recently moved out of my parents’ house and in with my boyfriend, Alex, and we (mainly me) are starting this whole adult cooking journey! There’s just one problem……we’re both college students and we’re both foodies. This means that…
