fall / baking

This cornbread recipe has been a staple in my kitchen for years. I hope it’ll become one in yours too! If my Midwestern upbringing taught me one thing, it’s that there’s nothing better than a slice of cornbread and a bowl of chili on a cold fall night. But I’m not talking about just any cornbread. I’m talking about good cornbread, the kind that’s slightly crumbly, perfectly golden, and right on the line between savory and sweet. This homemade cornbread recipe checks every box.

Air Fryer Baked Potato

Learn how to make an air fryer baked potato with flavorful, crispy skin and fluffy insides! Enjoy it with toppings like chives, sour cream, and/or butter.

In the last year or so, this air fryer baked potato recipe has become my favorite way to cook baked potatoes. Don’t get me wrong—I still love my oven baked potato recipe. But more often than not, I only make one or two baked potatoes at a time. With such a small batch, using the air fryer just makes sense. For one, it’s WAY quicker. My air fryer preheats in seconds, and it yields perfectly cooked baked potatoes in about 40 minutes. That’s roughly 15 minutes fewer than a typical baked potato needs in my oven. The potatoes are also…

Iced Strawberry Matcha Latte

This iced strawberry matcha latte combines fresh strawberries with earthy matcha. Lightly sweet and SO refreshing, it's the perfect drink for a hot day.

My drink of the summer has been an iced strawberry matcha latte—not one I get at Starbucks, but one I make at home.

It’s fruity, refreshing, and not too sweet, with smooth, umami notes from the matcha. If you’re already a matcha fan, I think you’ll love this drink. And if you’re new to matcha, it’s a great first recipe to try! In case you’re not familiar, matcha is a green tea powder that has…

Vegetarian Tortilla Soup

This tortilla soup recipe has a rich, fragrant broth filled with corn and black beans. We love it with crispy tortilla strips and avocado on top!

Now that the temperatures are cooling off for the season, you can bet that I’ll have this tortilla soup recipe on repeat.
