Are you the type to Google “how to…”, well, everything? I definitely fall into that category, and being that you’ve ended up on this page, maybe you do, as well. :)

In addition to the majority of full recipes on this website, I wanted to create a space for how-to tips and techniques that you can sub in to your already favorite recipes for a new twist without starting from scratch.

For instance, salads. Do you go on auto-pilot when it comes to prepping a salad? I’m definitely guilty of that. Learn how simple it is to make fun salad toppers like crispy baked tortilla strips and cornbread croutons from your leftovers to change up your routine.

Same goes for leftover risotto, which can be finicky when being reheated. Ditch that plan and pan-fry perfect, cheese-stuffed (!) risotto cakes with leftovers straight from the fridge.

Plan to see more how-to tips, tutorials, and techniques on this page as it grows.

My Sequined Life - easy, customizable recipes from my shiny and bright kitchen to yours
Hi! I'm Alyssa, a twenty-something podcast junkie with a penchant for baking, boots, and pretty little things. Also strong coffee and spunky dogs. There's a good chance I can be found in the kitchen, wearing sequins, and dreaming of DIY. ♥
