Hi Reader! Happy Friday! I swear the weeks are just flying by. My son is wrapping up his robotics season, and we're continuing to play a lot of indoor tennis. We are counting down the days until we get some warmer weather and our favorite local courts put their nets back up. This has been a rough winter! This week's recipe all have comfort food vibes and just writing this email makes me want to remake them all asap! So much yumminess. 🥳 New! General Tso's Tofu Sheet Pan Dinner Click For The...

Hi Reader! If you hate washing dishes as much as I do, you need this recipe. I took classic chicken tetrazzini and eliminated the step where you boil and drain the pasta. Instead, it cooks right in the sauce, not only eliminating dishes and reducing cook time, but also upping the flavor. It's so tasty and the perfect use for leftover chicken! Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! I've honestly been loving tofu so much lately. I'll admit, sometimes I buy it and it just sits in my fridge, but I've leveled up, purchased a real tofu press, and gotten serious about it. The best part about this recipe? It’s a total "lazy pro" move ("lazy pro perfectly captures my style of cooking). You roast the veggies and the tofu together on one pan (the tofu gets so crispy!), whisk the sauce in a bowl, and pour it right on. It's so easy, so flavorful, and so good for you! Get...

Hi Reader! When the temperature drops, my motivation to do dishes drops right along with it (as if it were ever there to begin with). There is something so satisfying about a meal that comes together in one single pot. I havea lot of one pan meals on this website (and I mean, a lot - the current count is 243), but I went through and gathered up what I feel like are the coziest of them. Whether it’s a slow-simmered stew that makes the whole house smell amazing, or a 30-minute skillet pasta...

Hi Reader! Winter has being wintering hard lately and the hot chocolate has been flowing at my house!

Hi Reader! They say money can’t buy happiness, but it can buy a label maker and a pack of Swedish dishcloths—and honestly, that’s a pretty close second. Maybe that's an exaggeration, but I think right now, we could all use a spot of joy here and there. I’ve rounded up a few small, oddly satisfying things that have turned my kitchen from a 'zone of chaos' into a space that actually works for me. Whether it’s a notepad that makes chores feel like a treat or an organizer keeps the draws tidy, I...

Hi Reader! I cook and create recipes for a living, but even I have nights where 'dinner' is just a frozen pizza and a prayer. The secret to making it actually taste good? This homemade pizza seasoning. Just toss your herbs and spices in a jar, give it a shake, and you’re done. Use it in your sauce, on your crust, or even on air-fryer broccoli (that's actually so good). Get The Recipe

Hi Reader! If you need a little treat, homemade hot chocolate feels like a true luxury. It's winter's version of ice cream. It's a little pick-me-up, a warm hug on a cold day. This orange hot chocolate is a tiny bit elevated, but still has that rich creaminess you crave. Make it today! Get The Recipe
