My goal is to showcase delicious dishes that I’ve made, which I find are (relatively) easy to make! Some recipes require more time, and effort, while others are done within 30 minutes, but, I promise, you’ll be pleased with what you’ve made!

Unlike other sites, I won’t be detailing all of my thoughts and feelings about each recipe because, let’s be real, in the end, you just want to figure out how to make the dish and what you need to buy at the grocery store. I cut right to the chase and tell you the ingredients you’ll need and show you what the final dish will look like!

As a side note, I’m a big fan of onions, garlic, ginger, and everything spicy, so my recipes might be somewhat heavy with these ingredients, or at least more so than some people :) Be aware of this and adjust these ingredients to your own preferences because you’re the one who will be doing the eating! Enjoy!

Fudgy Cherry Chocolate Blondies

Blondies are like brownies, but are made using brown sugar instead of cocoa. Since cocoa absorbs moisture, not using it leaves you with a softer, chewier texture which is what makes these blondies so delicious! Add to the that fresh, seasonal cherries and you're left with extra fudgy blondies! A perfect pairing of chocolate and cherries for a perfect summer treat!
