I am still in disbelief that I finished a 30 day challenge – what a way to finish out 2021! It feels so unreal that even writing this post feels surreal. In case you were wondering, here are a few highlights from completing this challenge: The best-tasting dish was hands-down the beef wellington. It took […]

We made it! If you have been following since Day 1, or even Day 15, thanks for sticking around. It’s been a long journey and it’s crazy to think that I have finally completed this challenge. Not going to lie, there were definitely days that were tougher than others, especially towards the beginning when I

Can you believe we’re only 1 day away from the end of this 30 day challenge??? I can’t either. Today we’re doing another international dish – Moroccan chicken tagine. I have technically made a version of this dish several times before because it was one of my favorites from HelloFresh back when I had their

Today’s dish is one of my fiance’s favorites – beef stew. I used a recipe from Damn Delicious, although I may have accidentally looked at a pot roast recipe instead and got a different cut of meat. I also added a splash of red wine because I had some leftover from yesterday’s moussaka recipe and

Quick note: I am using store-bought vanilla ice cream, but the poached pears and chocolate sauce will both be made from scratch.

For today’s recipe, I am featuring one of the most famous food-related TV shows out there – the Great British Bake-Off. I remember not liking it that much when I first watched it, but realized that it was because it lacked the usual flair for drama that American TV unfortunately conditions us to appreciate. I

Given that Gordon Ramsay is my favorite chef, it only makes sense that my favorite food TV show is one that he hosts – MasterChef. I remember when I first started watching MasterChef, I could feel my excitement and passion for food igniting, and to this day, I am inspired by the amazing dishes the

Those who follow me on Instagram know that I launched a poll asking whether I should do a spiked eggnog or cranberry moscow mule for today’s 30-day challenge, and also know that I ended up saying I will do both! I’m keeping today’s post pretty short because I’m officially on my winter break and I
