Hello Reader! I have to say, my favorite part of the Super Bowl is never which teams are playing. If we are being *really* honest, I would definitely never label myself a football fan.

This year, I am leaning into easy recipes so I don't have to spend the entire day cooking. The invention of the instant pot changed my whole life and really makes game day cooking a breeze. From hearty...

Hello Reader! As the holiday season continues, I can't help but feel the excitement in the air. While some of you may be reveling in the beauty of snow-covered landscapes and cozying up by the fireplace, I find myself occasionally daydreaming about a winter wonderland.
