I make big flavor in one pan, then turn leftovers into tomorrow’s lunches—with step photos you can trust.
About Me:
I cook like your sink is already full. My sheet-pan and skillet dinners layer heat, deglazing, and a squeeze of acid at the end. I specify rack position, pan size (13×18 sheet pan or 12-inch skillet), and timing windows so proteins and vegetables finish together. Every post includes storage notes for 3–5 day lunches, safe cooling guidance, and reheating methods that protect texture. I write in cups/teaspoons for speed and list grams for precision.
As a food photographer, I shoot process photos in natural light so you can see what “golden edges” actually look like—no heavy props, just honest color and crumb. My “Plan Ahead” callouts batch-cook grains and my “Flip It” boxes convert tonight’s dinner into wraps or bowls tomorrow. My goal is simple: clean sinks, full plates, and leftovers that feel new.
