I Remembered at Noon. The Team Was Coming the Next Day. Caramel brookie cups are what happens when you remember at noon on a Monday that you volunteered to feed twenty-five volleyball girls lunch the very next day. Lunch itself was handled — my No-Peek Chicken and Rice, a big spinach and strawberry salad, and…
This back to school Costco haul is the big one. My monthly stock-up and the lunchbox run rolled into a single trip, because I was not about to do that twice in one week. I feed seven people. School starts back up, which means five days of packed lunches sitting on top of dinner every…
Everyone Will Be Impressed. Only You and I Will Know. This pecan pie is the easiest, most delicious one there ever was, and I mean that. Everything except the crust goes into one bowl, gets mixed with a hand mixer, and pours straight into the shell. There is no par-baking, no candy thermometer, no rolling…
The hill I will die on sandwiches is one I will plant a flag on with a butter knife in one hand and somebody else’s plate in the other: a sandwich ALWAYS tastes better when somebody else makes it. Same bread. Same turkey. Same exact mayo out of the same exact jar in my own…
My newest fall apron got here before fall did, y’all, and I could not wait one more minute to put it on. It says It’s Fall Y’all right across the front, it has a blue plaid skirt with the sweetest little leaves scattered on the pockets, and it is my kitchen favorite this week. I…

Can We Stop Pretending Every Decadent Dessert Starts From Scratch? This brownie trifle is three things — a box of brownie mix, a box of instant chocolate pudding, and a tub of Cool Whip — and it is one of the best desserts we have ever had at this house. I got the recipe years…
This Tuesday tip: budget pasta is one I have been wanting to run the numbers on for a while, because Cajun chicken pasta is one of my family’s absolute favorite dinners and it tastes like something you would order out. So I sat down and priced out every single ingredient, and the whole pan came…
My kitchen favorites series is all about the things I reach for every single day, and this week it is Kinder’s The Blend. I am not paid by Kinder’s, y’all — I bought this jar myself, and it has quietly become the one seasoning I will not leave the house without. Salt, pepper, and garlic,…
Side dishes for a crowd are the part of the meal I think about hardest. The main dish is usually decided before I ever get to the kitchen — it is the sides that turn one pan of something into an actual supper. These are the seventeen I make on repeat when there are a…
