Blueberry Crisp: Let Me Tell You Why I Love This One All right, so if you’ve ever been caught daydreaming about dessert halfway through dinner (I definitely have, probably more than I should admit), you’re just my sort of people. Ever since Aunt Martha brought her legendary blueberry crisp to our family reunion back in…
Let Me Tell You About These Roast Potatoes… Alright friend, gather round. So you know how there are some recipes that feel ritualistic—like the potatoes at every Sunday roast? Well, Gordon Ramsay’s crispy roast potatoes sort of rewired my brain about how good a roastie can be. Honestly, the first time I tried this, I…
Why I Can’t Stop Making Martha Stewart’s Oven-Baked French Toast Confession time: this French toast is the only brunch recipe I’ve made three weeks in a row that did NOT receive any complaints from my peanut gallery (aka, the kids and my husband who thinks he’s a brunch snob now). The first time I whipped…
This Was the Night I Nearly Burned the Lamb (But Didn’t…) So buckle up, friend, here we go—rack of lamb, beans, and tomatoes, a proper showstopper in Gordon Ramsay’s signature style. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve attempted to impress my in-laws with this dish (once nearly burning the lamb because I got…
Pull Up a Chair: My First Foray Into Oprah’s “Un-Fried” Chicken Okay, so—I’ll be honest, the first time I tried making this Un-Fried Chicken recipe from Oprah’s Chef Rosie Daley, I didn’t think much of it.

And…
The Time I Finally Got My Eggs Right (Thanks Oprah!) Alright, let me set the scene. It was a Saturday, rain pouring and me standing in the kitchen in my mismatched pajamas, trying (yet again) not to murder a bowl of eggs. I used to think scrambled eggs were easy-peasy—until I landed on Oprah’s 4-ingredient…
Let Me Tell You About This Cheesy Keto Flatbread… Okay, first off, this keto pesto chicken flatbread is honestly the kind of thing I make when I want to trick myself into thinking I’m ordering from a fancy pizza place but—plot twist—it’s Tuesday and I ain’t spending £15 on takeaway. I remember the first time…
Let Me Tell You About This Taco Soup (And That Time I Forgot the Cilantro) If you’ve ever found yourself shivering in front of the fridge at 7:12pm on a Tuesday, staring at a pack of chicken thighs and absolutely no dinner plan, you’re in good company.

So There Was This Pumpkin Tiramisu Cookie Idea… Alright, so you know how every fall, as soon as pumpkins turn up at the grocery store, you start seeing pumpkin everything? (Don’t @ me, I love it.)
