Let Me Tell You About These Keto Pecan Pie Bars… You know those recipes you start out of sheer curiosity and then, suddenly, they’re the thing you make every year? These Keto Pecan Pie Bars are that for me. I remember the first time I tried to adapt my grandma’s (slightly mystical) Pecan pie into …

Let Me Tell You About My Air Fryer Meatball Phase So, a while back, there was this week when all I could think about was meatballs. Weird, right? But picture this: it’s Tuesday, everyone’s already cranky because of school or work or the neighbor’s dog yapping (again), and I just want to make something hearty, …

Let’s Talk About Quiche Lorraine (My Wobbly Edges Included) Quiche Lorraine, right? You always see it in little bakery windows looking all fancy, but honestly, the first time I made it, I thought it would be a real faff—like, who in their right mind has time to fuss over pastry and custard before brunch?

So here’s the deal: whenever I want something tasty and healthy but also absolutely refuse to dirty a dozen pans, Healthy Air Fryer Chicken and Veggies is my ace in the (already slightly messy) sleeve. The first time I tried this, my little crew actually thought I’d ordered takeout — which, frankly, felt like a …

Oh wow, where do I even start with these peppermint cookies? I swear, every December I’m elbow-deep in flour thanks to these little beauties. Last year, I baked a batch on a whim (well, really because I needed to use up some rogue candy canes), and suddenly half the neighborhood dropped by “just to say …

Oh hey there! Have you ever braved a roasted beef tenderloin for the holidays (or just because you found one on sale and thought, ‘why not?’)?
