So you want to make a perfect baked potato? Oh, you are speaking my language! Let me tell you, I’ve been through more spuds than I care to admit just trying to work out what makes ‘em truly excellent. Once, ages ago, I undercooked potatoes at a dinner for friends (I still hear about it… …
Alright, Let’s Talk Chicken (and Air Fryers) So, you know those kinda grey, drizzly evenings where you just want something good—like, really good—but you can’t be bothered with three pans and a pile of washing up? That’s exactly when I stumbled onto this Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken recipe. First attempt was a bit of …
Let Me Tell You About This Cheesy Legend Oh, Longhorn Parmesan Crusted Chicken. Just saying it makes my mouth water.

How Honey Sriracha Ground Chicken and Broccoli Became My Weeknight Hero Look, I get it, weeknights can be a hot mess. Between racing back form work (yeah, I spelled it wrong, but I’m leaving it in for realism!) and trying to avoid the sad pasta trap again, I started making this Honey Sriracha Ground Chicken …
Hey There, Salad Lovers! (Or Reluctant Leaf Nibblers…) So, last week, I found myself staring into the fridge at 9pm (don’t ask) searching for, well, anything that could pass for a meal that wasn’t toast. Somehow, a big bunch of kale called my name, so I started tossing things in a bowl, doing one of …
Pork Chops Worth Turning the Oven On For Let’s be honest for a sec, okay? There are days when I want to impress but can’t quite face the idea of a five-step marinade, three sauces, and a pan that’ll take all night to scrub. Enter: oven baked bone-in Pork Chops. My mom made these on …
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?’)?
