If you told me five years ago I’d have a black bean meatball recipe on repeat, I’d probably have laughed—well, maybe not out loud, but definitely in that “oh sure” headspace. But here we are! These little beauties came about when my cousin (a notorious meatball fanatic) went veggie for a month, and I wanted …
Hey, Pull Up a Chair for These Sliders! Ok, story time. So one rainy Saturday, I had a house full of hangry teens glaring at me because apparently “there’s nothing to eat.” I’d sorta planned a dinner, but then realized I only had some leftover ham, a block of Swiss, and one of those magical …
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.

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. My sister once called it “dangerously good” after sneaking two mugs in a row during winter break. It’s that kind of recipe—the one you start making …
Baked Chicken Drumsticks: Just Like Home, Only With Way Less Mess Alright, so here’s the deal: baked chicken drumsticks are my go-to when I just can’t be bothered with complicated dinners or, honestly, massive cleanups.

Let’s Make Super Crispy Fried Silken Tofu (Vegan) If you’ve never experienced that golden, audibly crispy shell hugging cloud-soft tofu, you’re in for a treat.
