Hello there folks! I am Nora. I love eating and within this past year I have started cooking almost everyday. Constantly eating out in restaurants can get pricey. Especially when you can usually make the same meal, or even better at home. Due to my crazy work schedule, I am not shy about using shortcuts when preparing meals. The dinners that I make are cheap and easy ways for a "Gal on the Go" to pull off a nice dinner in no time.
