Hello everyone!
As some of you may know, I love to bake, but I also love to cook! I love making good, yummy, healthy food!
I was in a cooking mood the other day, so I decided to look up some super easy, quick, and pretty healthy snacks and things. I looked through various sites to find a few recipes that I liked and could share with you guys as well.
Now, most of the recipes I looked up I tweaked a bit and added, or taken away a few things, or just made the grammar a bit better haha
Since it seems that you guys enjoyed it when I shared my cookie recipe, I decided to add one of my very own recipes to this list too! I added My Chicken and Cheese Wraps down below, super easy too.
I was planning on adding a lot more recipes to this list, but I got so excited that I couldn't wait any longer to share these with you guys!
I really want to add some more recipes to this list very soon, maybe along with some reference pictures as well. So please, if you'd like, come back to this journal and check up once in a while for new recipes! For now though, I'm only sticking to small dishes and things that are quick and easy, but also yummy haha
I hope you guys enjoy looking through this growing list and find something you like.
If you happen to make anything you see on this list, then please, send me some feedback! Leave a comment here, or note me and tell me how your creation came out. ^-^
Have a lovely day!~
