Let’s Talk Funfetti Angel Food Cake—My Kitchen Confetti Parade Oh, Funfetti Angel Food Cake. This cake is like a party in a pan! The first time I baked this, I was probably more excited about the rainbow sprinkles than I care to admit. Funny story—when I first made it for my niece’s sixth birthday, my …
The Easiest, Dreamiest Vanilla Milkshake (With a Few Tangents) You know, every time I make a vanilla milkshake the smell of vanilla instantly tosses me right back to summers at my gran’s house—yelling at my brother for slurping his shake too loudly while cartoons blared in the background. It’s funny, I used to think milkshakes …
If you’d told teenage me I’d be hand-whipping up homemade strawberry pink marshmallows one day, I probably would’ve laughed into my instant cocoa. But here I am, genuinely converted. My youngest, Emma, calls them “fairy clouds.” Last family movie night, we demolished a whole batch during Paddington 2—no regrets. These are nothing like those bagged …
Let Me Tell You About My Autumn Secret Weapon Right, so whenever the cold creeps in (which is pretty much October through, what, April? Where I live, anyway) this drink is the first thing I want to make. The Spiced Rum Apple Cider Cocktail is honestly like a nice warm hug — or a friendly …
If you’ve ever found yourself in a Texas Roadhouse desperately wishing you could sneak that famous butter onto literally everything (guilty as charged), you’re in the right place.

Let Me Tell You About This Cozy Breakfast You know those mornings when you’d rather just pull the covers up and snooze a few more minutes, but real life (plus rumbling tummy) has other plans? Yeah, same. That’s exactly why I started making these Tasty High Protein Cinnamon Roll Overnight Oats. The first time I …
Baked Ziti Memories (and a few kitchen dramas) Alright, you ever get a craving that just doesn’t let go? For me, that’s Baked ziti. This one’s a staple in my kitchen, ever since my brother begged me for “that cheesy pasta thing” every Sunday when we were kids. One time, I tried to make it …
So, About This Peach Crisp—Why I Keep Coming Back I have to admit, Bourbon Peach Crisp is my secret weapon when I’ve promised dessert but forgot (again) that the peaches on the counter were ripe three days ago. It’s the kind of recipe that feels like a summer picnic—even if you’re just in sweatpants in …
A Chicken Recipe Even My Picky Cousin Loves Okay, so let me just say right up front, Crispy Oven Fried Chicken is my kitchen magic trick. (You know, the one I pull out when I want to seem like I’ve got it all under control, even if the rest of dinner is err… less impressive.) …
Alright, Let Me Tell You About This Fennel & Citrus Salad If you’ve ever found yourself staring into your fridge at 6pm, sort of hungry but mostly bored, I feel you. That’s exactly how I ended up making this Shaved Fennel & Citrus Salad the first time—just sort of poking around, hoping inspiration would leap …
So… Have You Ever Tried To Recreate Chipotle Chicken At Home? Okay, confession time: I make this copycat Chipotle chicken recipe at least once a month (more if I’m in the mood for something smoky and a lil’ spicy). First time I tried to make it, I managed to set off the smoke alarm—true story, …
