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 …
If you’d told teenage me I’d be hand-whipping up homemade strawberry pink marshmallows one day, I probably would’ve laughed into my instant cocoa. But here I am, genuinely converted. My youngest, Emma, calls them “fairy clouds.” Last family movie night, we demolished a whole batch during Paddington 2—no regrets. These are nothing like those bagged …
If you need party food that disappears quick… Alright, so, picture this: it’s game day, I’m frantically making these Jalapeño Popper Sausage Sliders with Garlic Parmesan Dip, and my cousin walks in, bypasses any polite hellos, and just asks, “You making those spicy sausage things?” And then proceeds to eat half the batch before anyone …
An Ode to Buffalo Chicken Dip (But With a Healthy Twist) I still remember the first time I tried making the famous buffalo Chicken dip for a holiday gathering—I was so nervous I’d end up with a gloopy mess, or worse, set off the smoke alarm again (that only happened once, promise). But since then? …
This Nacho Thing Started as a Movie Night Accident Alright, full disclosure: I didn’t set out to become the nacho person in my group. It just sort of happened. There was this one Friday—picture a proper storm, like sideways rain, the kind that messes with your Netflix connection. Half my mates bailed, but my best …
Let’s Talk About Valentine’s Day Muddy Buddies (& My Weird Traditions) So, I’ll be honest: I started making Valentine’s Day Muddy Buddies way before I should’ve been trusted with powdered sugar in the kitchen. My friend Zach and I—middle school legends, at least in our own minds—once dumped half a bag of Chex on the …
If I Could Only Make One Dip Forever… You ever stumble on a recipe that just clings to your family, like an awkward but lovable puppy? This Crack Dip is that dish over here! First time I made it, my brother swiped the whole bowl and claimed it for “quality control.” Right. Ever since, it …
Let Me Tell You About These Game Day Pepperoni Pizza Rolls So, picture this: It’s Sunday, there’s a big game (doesn’t matter which sport, but for me it’s usually football, or honestly sometimes just an excuse to snack), friends are drifting in, and the air smells like impending victory or, sometimes, burnt cheese. I’ve been …
This Mini Tacos Recipe Is Basically a Party I Can Hold in My Hands Alright, let me paint you a picture: it’s a random Friday evening, I’m staring at the fridge and thinking, “Wow, you really didn’t plan dinner again, did you?” And then! Inspiration strikes—mini tacos. I don’t know what it is about food …
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 …
