I was well into my 20s before I actually learned to cook. I spent many years buying boxed meals and then dumping them into boiling water. The Horror, my friends. The Horror. I’ve been cooking like a crazy person for many years now and you will clearly find that the relationship between a stressful day at work and the amount of items chopped after work are directly proportional. 🙂
These days I mostly stick to a Paleo Diet, but I started this blog before I was Paleo so there are a few straggling recipes below. Every one has to treat themselves sometimes. That’s why I left the recipes that involve Nutella. I have also posted plenty of weekly menus if you need some menu planning inspiration.
If you are anything like me, you take your kitchen inspiration wherever you can find it. Have fun looking around!
