I can vividly remember coming home from school on Valentine's day as a kid and my Dad had all the lights off and candles on the dining room table. He had prepared homemade chicken parmesan for us. I remember how excited I felt when I saw that we were having dinner as a family and we were having one of my favorite meals. If you were to ask me what sparked my passion for cooking, I would have to tell you this memory since it's the first one that comes to mind.
After college, I took priority over my health and lost 125 pounds. I now try and find meals that are high protein, low carb, and low calorie to support my new lifestyle. My recipes often highlight fresh ingredients, a balance between comfort and healthy foods, and budget friendly meals. Due to being a full time high school teacher, most of my meals are quick prep. Teacher tired is a different kind of tired...
Whether you're a busy professional, beginner cook, fellow foodie, cooking for a family, or looking for a new dinner idea, my goal is provide you with an inspirational space to make cooking feel less overwhelming and more rewarding. Life is too short to eat poor quality meals!
When I'm not in my kitchen, you can find me teaching, reading, fishing, spending time with my significant other (Grant), snuggling up on my fur child (Cat mom!), or traveling. I currently share my cooking journey on Instagram and Facebook, where I post what I had for dinner.
