I have always loved food, but despised cooking. I remember how my parents would force me to learn how to cook, and I'm thankful for that, because now I know how. Now that I am older, I actually do enjoy cooking. So here I will post my food adventures as well as recipes to some of my favorites, and hopefully yours too!

Disclaimer
I love food. And some of the recipes here are eddited versions of the ones I've found on the interwebs. Please check out the original recipes, if you do not enjoy my own. (Each editted recipe has a link to the original recipe at the end of the post)

Going Bananas!

My mom bought too many bananas last week, so we let them ripen in order to make Banana Upside Down Cake with Chocolate Chips. Its simply delicious. I'm a huge fan of Closet Cooking's recipes, so this was undoubtedly amazing.
