Blog This Blog That...A Short Introduction

A Little Hello
Time to get started, I suppose. First off, this probably won't be a daily blog style, more of a post as I can due to my schedule, but hopefully it'll give you a nice taste of the meals and desserts I've happily grown up with. As well as learning the ropes of how to work the blog...Be on the lookout as I'm sure formatting will continue to change.I hope to use this as a place to share some good recipes with others and learn to improve upon my own cooking skills! After all, the best way to learn is by doing, correct? As an Occupational Therapist I will say, it is important to engage in occupations that we find interesting and meaningful to help improve our everyday quality of life! It just so happens, for me, I am interested in cooking/baking, and writing (So kill two birds with one stone here!). With that all said, I welcome you here, and hope you can find a recipe or two that you throughly enjoy (and can put your own spin on). Happy food hunting :)

Garlic Shrimp with Spanish Rice


First off, don't mind my scrawny self in the back, I was trying to stay out of the picture as much as I could haha. Anyways, I decided to get creative. I had a package of Fiesta Sides Spanish Rice that I wanted to spice up, and I remembered growing up one of the dinners I always enjoyed (and still do) was shrimp with my rice! So I thought why not make some mini garlic shrimp and add them in for a lovely dinner! I will add some other suggestions in the afterthoughts of things that you can add to further enhance this already tasty dish! It's also a very quick and simple one (since it's only semi-homemade)!

Summer Time Cucumber and Tomato Salad!


Sorry for the low picture quality, but I lack an actual camera and all that fancy stuff so I just use my good ol webcam! That aside...

Growing up I was subject to a wide variety of foods, some I liked and others I didn't. However, I have always been one to like healthy snacks. My mom would make us sliced apples and cheese, or crackers with some sort of dip. Either way, I've always been one to love fruits and veggies. One thing I always tell my mom is that I miss our garden! When we used to live in Michigan, we had a small backyard, but in the corner my mom had a vegetable and sunflower garden, so we always had fresh veggies.
