Lemon Garlic Angel Hair Pasta with Shrimp

This was the first meal my husband and I made together when we got back from our honeymoon. It was inspired by one of the dinners we had on our trip and was great for a fairly quick weeknight meal. This recipe makes 4 servings, but with the ingredients purchased, you could double the recipe and make 8 servings. It tastes best fresh, but it is still great as leftovers and could also be frozen and revived for a later meal. Enjoy! Ingredients -200g dry angel hair pasta, ~715kca

Becoming a Coffee Expert Chapter 3: Instant Latte

My new workplace small pleasure has been instant coffee. You don't need much to make it, it tastes better than expected, and if you work in an ice-cold gym like I do, it is sweet warm relief. Let's make coffee! What You Need for Coffee in The Scoop • Electric kettle • Water • NESCAFÉ® Gold (I'm sure there are other great options, but I'm convinced this one is the best. I'm enjoying the blonde one right now) • Spoon (plastic, metal, whatever you have; teaspoon size) • 60m

This Week's Meal Plan: Married Life Edition 💒

My husband and I are one week into marriage and are about to start our first week in our apartment cooking and meal prepping together (last week we were on honeymoon 😎). In this article, I will plan out a meal plan that helps me stay on track with my calorie and macronutrient targets while also including what my husband enjoys eating (he does not track his macros, but he does like to eat healthy, and we are on the same grocery budget now, so crossover in meals is ideal). I w

Becoming a Coffee Expert Chapter 2: The Scoop

Hamilton Beach makes a neat coffee maker called The Scoop. It makes a single cup, and is easy to use and convenient to clean. In the first part of this series, I explored making coffee in a French Press, so I will do a bit of comparison of the two methods in this article, as well as provide instructions for making coffee with The Scoop. Let's make coffee! What You Need for Coffee in The Scoop • The Scoop Machine (can make 8-14oz) • Mug and creamer of choice (totally okay to

Becoming a Coffee Expert Chapter 1: French Press

I recently got married, and my husband and I received pretty much every device for making coffee. We both love coffee, so these gifts were excellent and thoughtful. Even though I enjoy coffee, my brewing skills are at a pretty rudimentary level. As a new bride, one of my hobbies I'm hoping to build is coffee-making. I'm pumped! ☕️ The first method of coffee-making I will detail is using a French Press. This is how I typically make coffee, and I like this method for its straig
