Let’s Talk About Crispy Mashed Potato Cheese Puffs Alright mate, if you love potatoes (hi, who doesn’t?), you’re in for a treat. So, the first time I made these was actually for a random Wednesday movie night because—honestly? I had a lot of leftover mash in the fridge, and was too lazy to make another…
Catching Up Over Comfort Food (This Chicken’s a Hug in a Pan) You know those nights when you open the fridge and just sort of stare at the contents, hoping they’ll assemble into dinner by sheer force of will? Been there more times than I’ll ever admit. That’s usually when I turn to this cozy,…
Reckon This is My Favorite Rib Memory Okay, I’ll let you in on something—not every rib I’ve cooked has been a glorious slab of BBQ perfection. In fact, my first attempt ended with more smoke alarms than actual smoke and ribs tougher than grandpa’s old boots. But, let’s just say I’ve since cracked the code…
Blackberry Dumplings Just Like My Granny Made (Mostly…) Let me tell you, blackberry dumplings are my kitchen time machine—one bite and I’m straight back to steamy Southern nights, fireflies dancing, and my grandma gently swatting my hand away from the bubbling pot. (For real, the woman had lightning reflexes.) Was there ever a summer Sunday…
So, Why Am I Obsessed with This Easy French Onion Pasta? This recipe happened, honestly, after I got late-night cravings for those gooey, cheese-topped bowls of French onion soup (you know the ones) but realized I had absolutely zero energy to carve up baguettes and wait on broiler drama. Pasta to the rescue. That first…
So, Why Honey Butter Cornbread Poppers? Alright, real talk: these Honey Butter Cornbread Poppers are always the first thing to vanish at any of my get-togethers. I’m not kidding—my cousin once tried to sneak extra from the platter before anyone saw (busted, obviously). I just love how they bring everyone to the kitchen, even the…
Alrighty, let’s talk about these Raspberry Coconut Magic Bars! Honestly, whenever someone asks me for a dessert that isn’t complicated but still makes it look (and taste) like I really tried, I always think of these. The first time I made them was for a book club meeting. I’d forgotten dessert (seriously, embarrassing) so I…
Let Me Tell You About My Favorite Salmon Munchies Okay, so full disclosure—I’m not a chef (far from it, honestly). But these salmon bites? I feel like they make me look like I know what I’m doing in the kitchen. The first time I made them, I was halfway through prepping for a potluck, panicking…
Let Me Tell You About My Lazy Weekend Brunch So, have you ever woken up late on a Saturday with that mixture of happiness and guilt—happy because it’s the weekend, a bit guilty because (oops!) you were supposed to mow the lawn before noon? Yeah, that’s pretty much the energy behind these Baked Eggs in…
Let’s Talk About Pancakes (and my coconut cream obsession) Right, so if you’ve ever woken up on a sunny weekend craving something a little extra (not just the usual toast situation), coconut cream pancakes are basically my secret weapon. I first made these ages ago when I found a lonely can of coconut cream in…
