I’m admittedly a snickerdoodle snob. If they’re dry, cakey, or taste like a sugar cookie that got rolled in cinnamon at the last minute, I’m not interested. If I’m going to eat a snickerdoodle, I want to know it’s a snickerdoodle. So I tested the heck out of these toasty Brown Butter Sourdough Snickerdoodles until […]

Buckle up; these aren’t your average rice krispie treats. I had no idea these Brown Butter Potato Chip Rice Krispie Treats would become the dessert everyone couldn’t stop raving about. I made a pan of them for our Fourth of July party to have alongside Smash Burger Tacos, thinking they’d be a fun twist on […]

Every year I tell myself I won’t buy too many tomato plants… and of course, every year I end up harvesting more cherry tomatoes than I can keep up with. Because is there anything better than a perfectly ripe, warm cherry tomato straight from the garden? I didn’t think so. This certainly isn’t a bad […]

Think of it as Caprese’s slightly more sophisticated cousin. I made this whipped mozzarella dip alongside smash burger tacos for a dinner party and before the night was over, several people were asking for the recipe. That’s usually my sign that a dish needs a permanent spot in the summer rotation! The flavors are familiar, […]

These flavors are off the charts An unreasonable amount of my brain space has been occupied by these Greek ground chicken smash tacos lately. Seriously, the *perfect* combination of creamy, crunchy, savory, and bright. And boy do I love a weeknight dinner that’s ready in less than 30 minutes, yet feels fun and special. This […]

I’ll admit, it took me a little while to catch on to the cottage cheese hype. But I am so there. Most often I’m eating it straight from the container or piled onto sourdough toast, but I’m newly obsessed with adding it to this creamy, super flavorful, and actually filling egg bake that is just […]

You guys, I love this soup so much. It is now a back-pocket recipe that I have memorized and shortly, you will too. The brothy base is inspired by the creamy, savory “marry me” flavors of popular chicken recipes, but turned into a soup with chickpeas (one of my pantry staples) and tiny ditalini pasta instead! […]

I’ve developed a whole collection of sourdough cookie recipes over the years — it’s my ongoing kitchen love language. The other night I pulled a tray of these out of the oven and suddenly I was standing at the counter eating a second while the chocolate was still melty. You know when a cookie stops […]

I loooooove cabbage rolls. Hearty, saucy, and so delish. I just don’t love making them. When we lived in Minnesota, there was a Russian restaurant with the most incredible cabbage rolls. We ate there all the time — I never ordered anything else. After we moved, I missed them… but not enough to do the […]

Tater tot hotdish is honestly part of my personality at this point. If you grew up in the Midwest, you know its magic. It’s dependable, comforting, feeds everyone, and the true definition of “anything goes” kind of dish. I’ve made plenty of versions over the years (including this cozy spinach gruyère tater tot hotdish I […]

I live for a nostalgic, bakery-case cookie moment. So I started testing these because I had a very specific monster cookie craving – a big, chunky, chewy, colorful kind of cookie that felt like a throwback, but better. Peanut butter, old fashioned oats, melty dark chocolate, M&M’s, butterscotch chips, and the sourdough discard magic that […]

At any given point during the holidays, my childhood home was filled with either the smell of chewy ginger molasses cookies baking, or my Mom’s homemade Chex Mix. I still remember the giant enamel roasted she mixed and baked it in, the iconic seasoned aroma, and the bright yellow Tupperware with snap lid that she […]
