I should start making my own butter. Heavy cream, yogurt, a stand mixer — that’s really all it takes. Let it ferment overnight, whip it up, rinse it, done. The possibilities go beyond plain: garlic herb, honey, whatever I’m in the mood for. Can you imagine me doing this? It should be fun, right?

This Biscuit and Sausage Casserole looks so good! Growing up, my family always made biscuits and gravy, and I’ve really been missing that. I’m grabbing the ingredients to try this recipe on one of those Sundays. Yummy! 😋

Giada’s lemon spaghetti is calling my name. FOUR ingredients. That’s it. Simple, bright, and honestly? Sometimes the easiest recipes hit the hardest. Adding this to my must-try list ASAP.

I’m a flat-rashers-in-a-pan kind of cook. Neat. Orderly. But this chaos bacon method — tossing it all in a saucepan? Messy, crispy, apparently genius. Maybe one day I’ll embrace the chaos. 🥓 What do you think — are you a neat cook or a chaos cook?

Okay, slow cooker beef ragu with pappardelle has been living rent-free in my head. It looks delicious! Just prep it in the morning, let it do its thing for hours, and boom — family dinner magic. Only problem? I don’t own a slow cooker yet. Adding that to my shopping list ASAP. 🍝

Today I learned about carryover cooking! I’ve always cooked chicken to 180-190°F because dark meat gets so tender when collagen breaks down. Never thought about pulling it early and letting residual heat finish the job. Might actually help keep white meat from drying out. Worth a try! Link

A man in New Zealand literally grew a church out of trees. He carefully trained different species over an iron frame—leptospernums for colorful walls, cut leaf alders for a roof that lets light filter through. Started in 2011, now a living chapel in 3 acres of gardens. Absolutely stunning.

Missing those amazing Whisked oatmeal chocolate chip cookies from Whole Foods back in DC. Time to make my own! Found this recipe that looks perfect. Probably not vegan but that’s okay. Gotta hit the grocery store for ingredients first. So excited!
