✨ Hi! I’m Nikita!

Welcome to my little corner of the Internet where I share easy recipes with 5 ingredients or less! 🙂

As someone who works 40+ hours per week, I don’t have the time (or energy!) to cook elaborate meals most days of the week. In fact, I spent many years getting takeout and eating junk food for most meals, which led to a crazy amount of weight gain and many health problems.

Over the past few years, I’ve been focusing on making simple, easy, and healthy-ish meals using just a few ingredients. It’s helped me to eat better, cut down on food waste, and save a lot of money on grocery bills!

This blog is my way of sharing easy recipes with busy folks who just need simple, approachable recipes to make after a long day. All of the recipes here are beginner-friendly and perfect for those new to cooking!

I hope you enjoy your time here! I’d love to hear from you, so please come say hi!
