Simple Meals I Actually Make

Just sharing the recipes I’ve tried, liked, and want to remember.

Just Me, Just Cooking

I’m not a professional chef or culinary expert—just someone who loves to cook and hates spending a fortune doing it. This space is where I share the meals I make, the tricks I’ve picked up, and the joy I find in putting together something tasty without blowing the budget.

I started this because I think more people would cook at home if it felt less like a chore. It doesn’t have to be fancy or time-consuming. Cooking can be simple, affordable, and even fun—especially when you’re doing it with family or just experimenting on your own.

So if you’re tired of takeout and want to try making something yourself, I hope you’ll find a few ideas here worth trying. No pressure, no perfection—just good food, made by someone who’s figuring it out one meal at a time.

Good food doesn’t need a big budget—just a little heart and a hot pan
