A word on my recipes…

Each recipe provided is one which was successfully attempted by myself. I try to make my recipes as detailed and thorough as possible so you are able to easily follow along. The full caloric content of each meal is provided before the recipe so be sure to make a note of that. The recipes are all for single serving meals but feel free to adjust as necessary. Also, if a recipe calls for an item that has an asterisk (*), check the “BASICS” page for how to make that item. The Basics page will include items that are frequently used in my recipes. Keep in mind – I am not a professional and you don’t have to be either! Too often people are fearful of the kitchen and you don’t need to be – you just need to look at cooking as a way to decompress and nourish your mind, body and soul. If things are overcooked, burnt or don’t taste the way you are hoping – just adjust what you did for next time. Cooking is an experiment and won’t turn out perfect, or even the same every time. Have fun with it!
