Alright, so let me level with you: I didn’t always love fruit desserts. Actually for ages I thought baked fruit was just what you ate when you couldn’t have cake. (Sorry, Mum.) But then there was that ridiculously sweaty summer when I ran out of ice cream (how?!) and only had a basket of peaches …
Let’s Talk About Baked Sweet Potato Fries Alright, settle in — I’ve got a soft spot for sweet potato fries. It started a few years back when I tried making them instead of bagged oven chips for my fussy little brother (the bloke asked for ketchup and a side of sarcasm, mind you). Ever since, …
Let Me Tell You About This Whipped Feta Business… Honestly, there are days when the only thing that gets me through are snacks. (Not sorry about it.) I discovered this whipped feta with roasted olives one night when I had friends coming over—panicked, as usual, since I’d spent the afternoon lost in a rabbit hole …
I Swear, These Are the Fastest Pinwheels Ever Okay, story time—so the first time I tried making tortilla pinwheels was for this potluck in our old apartment building, and I was already running late; the kind of late where you’re frantically flinging fridge doors, muttering, “what can I make in 20 minutes?” These pinwheels saved …
So, I’ve got to tell you—when my mate first suggested poaching eggs in the air fryer, I thought she’d finally lost the plot (sorry, Jen!). I mean, isn’t the air fryer already busy crisping everything else under the sun? Anyway, one rainy Saturday morning with just a lonely egg in the fridge and zero patience …
Let Me Tell You About This Sheet Pan Magic If you’ve ever tried to wrangle a busy weeknight, you probably get why I’m always on the hunt for those magical one-pan dinners. Chicken and Butternut Squash Sheet Pan Dinner is my ace in the hole—actually, I almost didn’t try it at first thanks to a …
Let’s Talk: This Chicken Broccoli Potato Casserole Story Alright, imagine you’re coming over on a chilly Wednesday evening. It’s dark, I’m in these awful (yet beloved) checkered pajama pants, and the kitchen smells sort of ridiculous in the best way. This chicken broccoli potato casserole is bubbling away in the oven, and honestly? It holds …
There’s Just Something About Chowder… Honestly, Potato and Sausage Chowder is one of those comfort foods I keep coming back to. I still remember the first time I made it—spilled half the milk, forgot the thyme, and somehow it still turned out tasting like a big warm hug. My mum always said chowder was the …
Let’s Talk Cheesecake and That Pressure Cooker Okay. So, have you ever had one of those days where you’re craving something creamy and decadent, but you just don’t want to turn the oven on and heat up the whole house? That was me last summer. I’d seen all these fancy Instagram posts about pressure cooker …
Oh, Cheesecake Cups—My Secret Dessert Weapon I’ll just say it: baking is tough for me. (Anything that needs an oven thermometer and patience? Not my strong suit.) But, no bake cheesecake cups? These are like my dinner party get-out-of-jail-free card. The first time I made them, I used those tiny jam jars left over from …
