I love to cook, especially new and exciting foods. These are the items I've bought and continue to use for a multitude of different meals. I try to pick products that are easy to store or don't take up too much counter space. I also primarily use my dishwasher to clean, so if it's not dishwasher safe, it almost never has a purpose in my kitchen (minus my cast irons of course)
I’ve recently started baking and cooking more and these nice gadgets have made a difference in my enjoyment level. It’s been so much fun to experiment with different recipes and tools. Check it 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!

Rendang is a rich, flavorful Indonesian dish known for its tender beef cooked in a mixture of spices and coconut milk. It’s a beloved dish in Indonesia and around the world. Below is a friendly step-by-step guide to help you prepare this delicious meal right in your kitchen! Steps to Cook Authentic Indonesian Rendang: 1. Prepare the Ingredients Begin by preparing your ingredients. Slice the beef into bite-sized cubes. Peel and chop the shallots, garlic, and ginger. Cut the lemongrass into pieces and bruise it with the back of your knife to release its flavor. Slice the kaffir lime leaves and set all ingredients aside. 2. Blend the Spices In a blender or food processor, combine the shallots, garlic, ginger, turmeric, chili peppers, and a small amount of water to create a smooth spice paste. This paste will form the base of your rendang sauce. 3. Cook the Spice Paste In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the spice paste to the pot and sauté it for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes fragrant and slightly caramelized. 4. Add the Beef Once the spice paste is ready, add the beef cubes to the pot. Stir well, ensuring each piece of beef is coated with the spice mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the beef is browned on all sides. 5. Add the Coconut Milk and Aromatics Pour in the coconut milk and add the lemongrass, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and kaffir lime leaves. Stir everything together, ensuring the beef is submerged in the liquid. Add a pinch of salt and the tamarind paste for an extra layer of flavor. 6. Simmer the Rendang Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook, uncovered, for about 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom. The beef will become tender, and the sauce will gradually thicken as it reduces. 7. Adjust Seasoning After a few hours, taste the rendang and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, sugar, or tamarind for a balanced flavor. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little water or more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency. 8. Final Reduction Continue simmering until the sauce has thickened into a rich, dark brown color and the oil begins to separate from the sauce. This indicates that the rendang is ready. The beef should be tender and the flavors should be deep and well-integrated. 9. Serve and Enjoy Remove the rendang from the heat and discard the lemongrass, cinnamon stick, and cardamom pods. Serve your rendang with steamed rice or traditional Indonesian side dishes. Enjoy this rich, flavorful dish!

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 am always looking for healthier snacks that actually taste good because if they don't taste good, then I will most likely go for something not so healthy to feel satisfied! These are a few of my favorites, some are super healthy and some are kinda healthy!

I was diagnosed with celiac disease (officially) in 2022. As a very picky eater, it was very difficult to transition to gluten free. Throughout the years, I've found some really good gluten free items that I always have in our pantry. These are food items that might not be as common or maybe some food items you have seen but haven't tried. A lot of these I have found once I moved to Texas and can be found at Walmart, Target, Amazon, H-E-B, Sprouts, or United Supermarkets.
