You get home at 6:30, the kids are feral, and nobody wants to wait 45 minutes for dinner. I started batch-assembling casseroles in disposable foil pans on Sundays, stacking them in the freezer, and pulling one out to bake straight from frozen on weeknights. Took me about six months of burnt edges and soggy middles to nail the system. Here is every single product I use, from the pans to the proteins to the cheese that actually melts right after freezing.

I lived in London for three years. And if you need to know anything about me, it's that I love breakfast and brunch. They're my favourite meals of the day. I've sampled many different breakfast and brunch spots in London over the years, but here are my favourites.

My kitchen is small so I try and buy practical items that are functional but don't take too much space. When I moved out of my parents house and became a house wife I realized there are so many kitchen essentials in the market. If it wasn´t because I have a small kitchen, I would own so many gadgets but I know I´ll be overwhelmed by all the clutter in the cabinets so this list of items are what I own and love and also what I'd love to have.

My fave healthy supermarket finds — the stuff that makes me feel like I have my life together while still definitely buying wine in the same trip

Every winter I'd buy those sad powdered cocoa packets, dump in some mini marshmallows from a stale bag, and call it a treat. Last December I finally snapped and built the hot chocolate setup I actually deserved — real cinnamon sticks, proper whipped cream, the works. If you're someone who takes cozy season personally and refuses to drink another watery cup of disappointment, this whole lineup took me two winters to perfect so you can skip straight to the good part.

I’m widowed, and my daughter is grown, but I still love to cook and want my meals to be not only tasty but also aesthetically pleasing. However, after becoming an empty nester, I found it increasingly challenging to prepare appetizing meals in smaller portions. When I searched for ways to prepare meals for myself, I was disappointed to find that many of the recipes on the web were quite tasteless, and inaccurately documented recipes were abundant as well. Determined to create a repertoire of individually portioned meals that were easy to prepare and appetizing, I set out to do so. This list includes recipes that I have tried and found to be delicious, as well as other ideas, tools, and small appliances that contribute to making a table for one easier, tasteful, and more beautiful.

Recipes I’ve found on socials & in cookbooks that I’ve tried. All hero’s no zeros. Only the good ones here. INCLUDING cooking/baking MUST HAVES that I use to make kitchen time easier & FUN!

I believe small-batch makers are the heartbeat of a healthier food system. My focus is on supporting locally sourced, sustainable brands that put people, communities, and real ingredients first. By championing independent vendors, we help keep dollars in local economies, reduce wasteful supply chains, and fuel the creativity that big manufacturing can’t replicate. Every product featured comes from a business that cares about quality, craft, and community impact - not mass production. This holiday season, choosing small isn’t just a purchase - it’s a vote for better food, fairer practices, and a future where local makers can thrive. When we shop small, we’re not just giving gifts. We’re giving support, opportunity, and momentum to the entrepreneurs building something meaningful.

I love cooking for our family if 5, but if can easily get overwhelming. With instant access to google, the options can feel way too numerous. Instead I try to cook from the cookbooks I know and love.

Took me way too many potlucks to figure this out.

I think I figured out I was intolerant to diary when I was about 16/17. I remember eating a bowl of cereal one time and then promptly throwing it up! I used to love eating mini chocolate chips from the bag, and at some point those started making me feel sick, and I used to LIVE off of cereal. This was before many alternative milks existed, so I stopped having cereal for a while. I moved to the US from the UK in 2019 and started trying lactose-free milk (we didn't use to have this in England) which seemed to be okay for a little while, but soon started hurting me too. Sooo finally I stopped having almost any dairy (the exception of ice cream sometimes, and cheese… I just can't give us cheese ngl) and now I live mostly a dairy-free life and honestly I kinda like it. I have so much fun finding and trying new products. It's been a many a years now, so welcome to my list of knowledge!
