I can admit that I’m incredibly tempted by any sort of recipe that promises “fast/easy/quick” preparation these day, but I still want to have fun in the kitchen and make something yummy. This recipe for Chicken Chilaquiles was easy and yummy, and it had the added benefit of being a [...]
I got jealous of people who started 30 before 30 lists back when they were 25… so I figured I’d put my own spin on the concept and create this list instead. Some are new things I’d like to do, some are goals to create new habits and some are old favorites that i’d like [...]
