Okay, so let me tell you about the first time I made cabbage steaks. My sister just looked at me like I’d lost my marbles, which, honestly, fair enough because the name does sound a bit (okay, very) odd if you’ve never had them. But, trust me, these easy baked cabbage steaks shocked my entire …
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 …
Let Me Tell You Why I Keep Making Jambalaya Okay, buddy—pull up a chair. So, jambalaya is one of those things I accidentally fell in love with. Years ago, I actually thought it was too much work (true story), but then I made it for a New Year’s potluck—mainly because my cousin was on a …
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. I’ve probably made these, what, fifty times? (Actually, maybe a lot more, but who’s counting really?) They remind me of …
So, Why Am I Obsessed With This Detox Island Green Smoothie? Alright, so here’s the thing—I never thought I’d be the person craving, of all things, a green smoothie (younger me would be scandalized), but this Detox Island Green Smoothie, the Tropical Smoothie copycat kind, basically became my favorite “I need to eat healthier, but …
So, do you want to make churros at home? (I always say yes) I still remember the first time I tried making vegan churros. I was missing those warm, sugary sticks form the street fairs in my home town. (Honestly, I used to save up change just for churros—big spender, I know!) When I finally …
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 …
The Cozy Tale Behind My Tiramisu Latte Obsession Look, if you told me a few years ago that I’d be playing mad scientist with espresso, cocoa, and a dash of mascarpone just to capture the magic of tiramisu in a mug, I’d probably have laughed (or snorted coffee, which happens more than I care to …
If you’ve never eaten a ridiculously fluffy cinnamon roll that pulls apart in golden, buttery shreds, well—today’s your day. Brioche cinnamon rolls made with the tangzhong method were basically my gateway to bread nerdiness and I haven’t looked back since. The first time I made these, my kitchen ended up looking like a flour bomb …
Listen, I’ve been all over the smoothie map. Sometimes it’s a green sludge (don’t ask) and other times it’s basically a milkshake—my little secret. But this one? Oh, this immune boosting wellness smoothie is just kind of my morning ritual, especially when I’m feeling a little sniffly or the weather turns, or heck, when I …
