Is the three-day “no-call” rule really a rule? Is it a bad sign if a man doesn’t punctuate his text messages? What does it mean that my husband bought me a toaster for our anniversary (but also made me Flourless Chocolate Torte)? Do the pink Valentine M&Ms demonstrate more affection than the regular colored ones? COMPLICATED. This Valentine’s Day, I say we take a deep breath, set “the rules” aside, and say “I love you” with one of the least fussy and most sincere forms of affection: pie....

Would you believe me if I told you that you only need four ingredients to make this homemade bread? I’m telling you, this recipe is a keeper! Crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside, this flavorful bread is guaranteed to add excitement to your day.

Every now and again I hear someone say that pressure cooked food is bland and watery. This is because they haven’t tried these lip-smacking good honey garlic Instant Pot pork chops.

They are just as delicious as my favorite browned garlic butter baked pork chops or the classic southern fried pork chops....

Let me start by saying that this week has been hard. You can definitely tell the holidays are fast approaching, as time suddenly seems to go by so much faster and deadlines are always creeping up on me!

Cooking a steak sous vide means perfectly cooked steaks every time. Fool proof, reliable and oh so juicy! About a year ago, I was gifted a sous vide pod. I had heard about the whole buzz regarding sous vide cooking but hadn’t attempted to do it myself or tried any food cooked through that method (at least to my knowledge). It took me a while to finally try it, as the concept was so foreign to me that at first I wasn’t that excited....

There’s nothing like waking up to the smell of heavenly pancakes. But, even though they’re incredibly fluffy, sweet, and yummy, it can be tough (and unhealthy) to gobble all of them up in one go.

That way you can enjoy those incredibly fluffy, sweet, and yummy pancakes two days in a row....
