I teach baking and host live bake-alongs on YouTube and TikTok—and when I remember, I even record a few.

Now I’m sugar-free and living a carnivore lifestyle, but my love for baking is still as strong as ever.

Spent years wondering why my pie crust came out tough and chewy while my grandmother's shattered into perfect flaky layers. Turns out it wasn't talent — it was tools and technique. If you're the person who dreads Thanksgiving pie duty or quietly buys store-bought and transfers it to your own dish (no judgment, I did that for years), this lineup is everything that finally got me making crusts people actually fight over. Took me a lot of failed pies to figure this out so you don't have to.

All of the things that make your at home coffee better than coffee shop coffee

I love to cook, bake, and meal prep for my work week. I don't love love a lot of kitchen gadgets. I would rather use a knife than have an apple corer, onion dicer, etc. I'd rather take the time to make things from scratch than buy a kit. So, if I have a gadget or hack, you know it must be REALLY good! Everything I recommend is something I’ve tried, love, and trust for myself and my family.

Every Saturday was the same — I'd fire up the grill, slap on whatever store-bought sauce was in the fridge, and wonder why nothing tasted like actual barbecue. Spent two years hunting down small batch sauces from real pitmasters and craft makers, and now my neighbors literally show up uninvited when they smell the smoke. If you're tired of that generic ketchup-with-liquid-smoke flavor, this lineup took me dozens of orders to narrow down so you don't have to.

Having a spouse, a kid, and parents all on a low sugar diets for various health reasons has forced us to sample many low carb and low sugar products over the years. Based on our limited research, we prefer more natural sweeteners like monk fruit, allulose, and stevia as the primary sweeteners and try to limit the chemical sweeteners like sucralose and aspartame. Save this list if you want to go straight to low sugar products that still offer the nostalgic flavors and textures you're used to!

These cafes are perfect if you’re looking for a space to work, read, or just vibe and listen to music! *Mostly on the North side of Chicago*

Cutting pineapple used to mean sticky hands, a mangled core, and half the fruit wasted. Mangoes were worse. If you eat fresh fruit daily but dread the prep, this is everything I use to go from whole fruit to ready-to-eat in minutes. Took me two years of buying duds to land on these, so save yourself the trouble.

Spent years pouring expensive bottles straight into glasses like some kind of animal — turns out letting wine breathe actually matters and the right decanter changes everything. Built for anyone who loves red wine but kept wondering why their $40 bottle tasted like their $12 bottle. Took me embarrassingly long to figure this out so you don't have to.

Six hours in the car with hungry passengers and nothing but gas station jerky? That was my family last summer. Someone cried, someone yelled, and we pulled over three times.

It’s nice to set some time away to sip away at some delicious tea (and coffee too). Tea is big where my family is from so I just happened to pick up on it. Definitely recommend experimenting and brewing methods and types of tea as we all like different taste profiles. I typically stay away from most store bought tea bags as the flavor is distorted from the compressed bag and the use of lower quality parts of the tea leaves for mass production. I like the natural flavors so I tend to stick with the natural flavors and avoid the blends but I do like a good cup of Earl grey here and there 😁
