I am going to be honest here and say that leftovers are not my favorite thing to eat. Sometimes they are good, but sometimes they're old and sometimes they're soggy. But, I have learned to adapt how I cook and how I eat so I am regularly eating leftovers. Why would I do this? Two simple reasons: it saves time and it saves money. When you learn different things to do with leftovers, you don't need to cook as much and therefore you don't need to buy as much food. So obviously, there are some b[...]
One of the hardest things about cooking in college or as a young adult is finding recipes that aren't for a whole family. Sometimes, all you want is a recipe that is pre-portioned and easy to make for one or two meals. I am always on the hunt for ways to turn regular dinner recipes into easy, meal-preppable (not sure if that's a word but I guess it is now!) recipes that only serve one or two. So, that's exactly what I did, and I got an easy meatloaf muffin recipe that I know you are going to lo[...]
When I was trying to find a no ricotta lasagna recipe for my family, I had a lot of restrictions. We were a very simple family, in that we did not like the ricotta cheese or any other extra toppings in the lasagna. My family literally just wanted pasta, meat, and cheese. I researched some recipes and we tried a different one every time we ate lasagna. And still, no one liked the recipes. This one didn’t have enough cheese, this one tasted weird, etc, etc. So, I decided to make my own[...]
Anyone else have a recipe binder with at least 20 different recipes for cookies? Anyone else have to make multiple cookie recipes just to get a few different types? I am about to solve all you problems friends! Whether you answered yes to those questions or not, I always did and I always found it annoying. Why couldn't there be one recipe for every type of cookie? Well, that's exactly what I did. I tested out one of my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipes with other toppings and guess what..[...]
I always love to have meals prepped and ready for lunch. After a long day of school or work, pre-made lunch can be so nice and easy. But, I found I am always limited to what I can make because everything tastes bad after a few days or gets soggy and old. That's what I love about this pasta salad recipe. I only have to make it once on Sunday and be set for lunch for the entire week. It tastes brand new everyday and only uses a few ingredients! https://youtu.be/5EX6MZfsSNU To make[...]
I started regularly going to the grocery store with my mom when I was in 8th grade. And for so long, I didn't realize doing this was anything out of the ordinary. However, the majority of people go to the grocery store for the first time by themselves when they are in college or just out of school. Without any experience, it can seem extremely overwhelming and discouraging. I can tell you firsthand that once you get the hand of the grocery store, it is anything but that. It is so important to k[...]
