When I was little my great grandmother used to watch me when my mom went to work. One of the things that I remember most about going to her house is how amazing it would smell when I woke up on the morning.


The kitchen would be filled with the smell of warm fried apples. Years later I still have that scent memory engrained in my mind.

Although she never got to teach me how to make them, my mom did and with the fall season knocking on our doors I thought this family tradition of mine would be the perfect recipe to share with you all.

Hopefully you'll try it out and get to enjoy this sweet treat with your family and friends this season.

THE BEST DAMN SHRIMP PASTA SALAD EVER!!

...and I'm not just saying that because is my recipe, I'm saying it because it's TRUE!

Seriously I started making this pasta salad a few years back and its become my signature dish. If you invite me to any function between spring and fall, don't even question cuz this is what i'm bringing and its actually gotten to the point where I get request for it *hair flip*

I haven't shared a recipe on here in a while and since spring is upon us I thought this would be the perfect first recipe. I mean it screams spring, the pasta salad its self looks like spring! Is super bright, packed with yummy veggies and just makes you feel good.

Ok guys its been a long time since I've tried a new recipe...

But a few weeks back when I attempted to switch to a more "health conscious" diet, I felt the need to  shake things up a bit and kick my typical meal ideas to the curb.

So I started racking my brain for new dinner ideas that incorporated fresh veggies, whole grains and unprocessed meat but still packed a punch in the flavor department.

So what did I decide on?

RAMEN OF COURSE!

No, i'm not talking the microwave kind that you lived off of (or are still living off of) in college.

I'm talking real deal ramen! If you want to find out how to make restaurant quality Ramen in 30 mins or less keep reading.

After a decent amount of nights doing nothing but ordering take out and getting fast food once I got home from work. I finally decided to actually touch my stove. Truth be told I love cooking but never seem to find the time anymore with my work schedule.

Not really wanting to spend time cooking but knowing if I got fast food one more time I would probably be sick lol I decided to make my chili recipe. Its quick, simple super filling and last a few days. Once I was done I  posted this picture on my Instagram 

And I quickly got likes and request to share the recipe because apparently it looked that darn good. So as always, your wish is my command =)
