The Cookie That’s Practically a Love Letter Okay, I have to tell you: making these Valentine’s Day M&M Cookies isn’t just about the cookies (though, seriously, they’re the star). For me, it started years ago when I tried to impress my then-brand-new boyfriend with heart-shaped everything. He ate so many of these that he was …
Let Me Tell You About My Buffalo Cauliflower Wing Obsession Okay, so you know that feeling when everyone’s got a craving for wings but you’re stuck with a head of cauliflower staring you down from the fridge?

If you ever walk into my kitchen on a drizzly Saturday, there’s a good chance you’ll find me stirring a big old pot of hot chocolate with condensed milk.

Let Me Tell You About My Sweet Potato Fries Obsession Alright, confession time: I never really loved sweet potatoes growing up. Not sure why – maybe it’s that weird marshmallow casserole thing people make at Thanksgiving? But anyway, my friend Charlotte (hi, Char, if you’re reading this!) showed me how easy it was to make …
Chatting in the Kitchen: Why I Love These Sandwiches There’s this one memory I always get when I toss chicken in the slow cooker—it’s me, late on a rainy Tuesday, in my mismatched socks, realizing I’d forgotten to plan dinner (again). Out came the trusty slow cooker. I just kind of threw some things in, …
So, Here’s Why Blueberry Muesli Is My Morning Hero Alright, let me set the scene: it was a drizzly Tuesday, the kind where the sun refuses to peep out and you’ve got one sock still missing (I never did find it, by the way). I opened my fridge, praying the breakfast fairies had left something …
Let’s Chat About Easy Cottage Cheese Egg Bites You ever get that craving for something savory, light, and kinda fancy, but your wallet is less ‘coffee shop breakfast’ and more ‘cereal from a box’? Happened to me. I absolutely love those Starbucks egg bites (especially when it’s raining out and I’ve got a hot coffee …
If you’ve ever found yourself standing in front of the stove, contemplating if you really want to commit to making traditional onion rings—or maybe just yearning for a snack that’s crunchy but not a full-on deep fry project—hey, welcome to my weekend world.
