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!

Saucy Orange Chicken

I’ve been making this amazing recipe for years and it’s one of my go-to cheat meals! To make the meal slightly healthier, the chicken is only lightly fried on the stove and you can adjust the amount of brown sugar you use (the full amount obviously tastes the best :) The fresh squeezed orange juice and the orange zest will make this the most orange-y orange chicken you’ve ever had!
