Let’s Chat About Chicken Caprese (and Why You Need to Make It) If you’ve ever found yourself standing in the kitchen at six in the evening, silently (or not-so-silently) asking the universe for dinner inspiration, let me introduce you to my not-so-secret weeknight hero: Easy Chicken Caprese. Seriously, it’s like a classic Caprese salad met…
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).

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…
Let’s Talk Cheesecake (And a Little Mayhem in the Kitchen) Okay, imagine this: it’s a blustery Saturday, I’ve promised my brother “the real-deal New York cheesecake” (the kind that tastes like it waltzed out of a bakery in Manhattan), and as usual, I’ve completely misjudged how long cream cheese takes to reach room temp. 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 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. That’s basically how this Whole30 Chicken Taco Soup…
So here’s the story with this cozy fall salad… I think I first cobbled this salad together on a random Wednesday when it started drizzling, I was hunkered down in an old sweater, and all I wanted was something fast that still gave me an autumn sort of kick (without dirtying every dish in the…
Listen, Creamed Spinach Has Always Been My Cozy Zone So picture this — middle of winter, my dad shivering at the window declaring it’s ‘colder than a witch’s nose’ outside (he actually used another word, but you know) and the rest of us in the kitchen, basically waiting for something, anything, to warm us up….
