Oh, friend, if you’ve never made a Dutch Baby—especially a Strawberry Cream one—let me tell you, you’re in for a day-brightener.

Alright, let me tell you about the time I learned making homemade Shake and Bake is worth the (minimal) fuss. I was pretty sure the store-bought stuff was one of those childhood things you just, well, grew out of—like neon green ketchup or believing my grandad’s fish stories. Turns out, I was wrong.

So, the thing about sheet pan breadsticks is – they’re basically my answer to dinner emergencies. You know those evenings when you realize the main dish just needs something extra?
