I'm no professional, but I am a chef. And because cooking is my passion, I'm particular about my food and how it's prepped. And with that, choosing trustworthy equipment can prove challenging, but here I am, providing you a list of everything I use in my kitchen on almost a daily basis.
In our house, movie night is a really big deal. We go all out, sometimes with a double feature, and ALWAYS have a big batch of homemade popcorn. And yes, we are total popcorn snobs. No chewy, mushy, or hard popcorn full of old maids. And don't EVEN think about that toxic microwaved stuff (seriously, how can anybody call that toxic science experiment “popcorn"?!? So if you want to enjoy perfect light and buttery goodness, here are the secrets to the perfect batch. The Ingredients: ½ cup of yellow popcorn, 4 tablespoons refined coconut oil, half teaspoon of finely ground salt, ½ cup real butter (salted). Arteries be damned!!!I was going to add a section on the method, but I couldn't find any good videos or web pages that wouldn't confuse the matter. I added instructions with each link, but here's the consolidated version. The secret method: Add the oil, salt and 5 kernels to the pot and turn it up to high. When those kernels start to pop, add the rest of the kernels and remove the pot from the burner, but leave the burner on (important if you have an electric stove) Stir to fully coat the kernels in hot oil and wait for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds hold the pot a few inches over the stove and continue to stir (turn the crank) until you hear the first of the kernels pop. (I put the butter in the microwave for 30 seconds which serves as a simple timer.) Once it's hot enough that one kernel pops, return the pot to the stove and turn the crank constantly. The goal is to get it all popping pretty much instantaneously. This (along with the vents in the popper's lid) prevents the popcorn from getting chewy. As soon as the popping slows, remove IMMEDIATELY from the heat and dump into the bowl. I've usually got a few stray kernels still popping as I'm pouring - don't worry, that's the goal. Don't wait, because that will allow steam to collect in the pot which also makes it chewy. You can add more salt if you like at this point (we prefer mildly salted, but if you're a salt lover go for it) and pour the melted butter (slowly) while stirring.
I love all things food in the fall. It's the start of all the comfort foods in my opinion.
Let's be clear the correct order of best fall flavors (although all are great) is Smores~Pumpkin ~Apple

These are my favorites from Nespresso. I personally have the Vertuo Next Machine and I am in love with it. I purchased mine in 2021 and never had trouble with it. I love that I can connect it with my phone and lets me know if needs cleaning or if something is wrong with the machine. For me the cleaning part notification is a huge plus because let's be serious who remembers to descaling their machine every 3 months? Another reason why I choose Nespresso versus other brand is because they always have deals or promotions. I always get 10 or more sleeves and I usually get free mugs, glasses, plus every order comes with free samples. Recycling is free of charge as the UPS label is prepaid.
GF and vegan doesn't have to be boring or expensive! These are some staples I ALWAYS have at home! Great for travel, working from home, or just snacking!

I’ve been loving our multigrain rice mix—it turns plain white rice into something heartier, healthier, and honestly more exciting to eat. Each ingredient adds its own texture, nutrition, and flavor, so you’re not just eating rice—you’re fueling your body with fiber, protein, and minerals. 💡 Note: You don’t need to add everything in one go. Start with 2–3 grains or beans you already like, then build your mix over time. Even small additions make white rice more balanced and nutritious. Here’s the breakdown of what we mix in (with suggested amounts per 2 cups of white jasmine rice):
I'm a Nigerian and I made this list especially to show you the beauty of my country despite the chaos. My country is beautiful. You know that saying that goes, "There's ALWAYS A SILVER LINING IN A CLOUD" or something like that 😂❤️. I mean, we have a beautiful culture, and some places in Nigeria are actually beautiful, not the ugly places they snap and say we're poor, so I want to show you the beauty of Nigeria. Another thing I love about my country is our different accents even as a country, as Nigerians we don't usually have the same accent mostly because of our tribe, what I'm saying is this, the tongue or the way an Igbo person speaks is different from the way a Yoruba person speaks
