    Love cooking, but sometimes too busy to even think about spending time in the kitchen? I know the feeling - my life is all about flexible, easy and flavorful (and sometimes small batch) cooking. Here you'll find everything from 30-minute meals to pantry staple favorites to make getting a meal on the table easier than ever. And bonus! If you're cooking for one like me, I've also got tips for using up extra ingredients and making the most out of leftovers.

    Small Batch Cooking

    This is ONE girl, one kitchen after all. I am a firm believer that a meal for one should be just as special as a meal for more. Check out my archive of small batch meals that I turn to all the time when I'm looking for something delicious minus the leftovers.

    Meet Mansee

    Hello! Thanks for stopping by my little part of the internet. Nothing makes me happier than creating something from (mostly) scratch, even on the busiest days. I'll be the first to say I am by no means a professional, but I do take food seriously (in like a super fun chill kind of way, of course) and, more importantly, I take sharing food seriously. I'm so glad you are here!
