Hi there! Welcome!

This blog isn’t about perfect recipes or expert advice. It’s just me sharing the things I’ve tried, the stuff that worked (and didn’t), and the meals that made me say, “Hey, that’s actually pretty good.” I started cooking because I wanted to eat better without spending a ton, and somewhere along the way, I realized I really enjoy it.

Most of what you’ll find here is budget-friendly and flavor-focused. I like grilling, smoking, and experimenting with whatever I’ve got in the kitchen – even if it’s just a ramen packet and a dream. I make mistakes all the time, but that’s part of the process.

If you’re new to cooking, figuring things out, or just want to make something tasty without stressing about it, you’re in good company. Let’s learn together.
