fall / winter

Learn how to make a hot toddy! Made with hot water, whiskey, honey, and lemon juice, this classic drink is a famous home remedy for a cough or a cold. When Jack has a sore throat, he always makes this hot toddy recipe to soothe it. But you don’t have to be under the weather to enjoy this simple cocktail. Though I’m typically not a whiskey drinker, I love a hot toddy on a cold fall or winter night. Garnished with a cinnamon stick and a slice of lemon, it’s such a cozy way to warm up. Cheers!

Homemade Cornbread

Learn how to make the BEST cornbread from scratch! With a lightly sweet corn flavor and tender crumb, it's delicious alongside a hot bowl of soup.

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. Even Jack, who generally swears off cornbread, is happy eating slice after slice. I’ll always vote for pairing…

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…

Sheet Pan Pizza

This sheet pan pizza is easy and delicious! It has a thick, chewy, and crispy crust with flavorful toppings like fresh veggies, tomato sauce, and cheese.

If you love pizza with a thick and chewy crust, this sheet pan pizza recipe is for you! I bake it in a quarter sheet pan or jelly roll pan, which gives the crust crave-worthy crispy edges and enough height to stand up to ample sauce, cheese, and veggie toppings. It’s perfect for Friday nights, parties, or even game day—any time you want a meal that’s just as fun as it is delicious. The next time you’re in the mood for pizza, give it a try! This homemade sheet pan pizza is even better than delivery. I think you’ll love…

My easy pizza sauce recipe calls for 8 pantry staples and comes together in 5 minutes—no cooking required! I could be biased, but I think this homemade pizza sauce is better than store-bought. It’s thick and flavorful, seasoned with fresh garlic and dried herbs. It’s also super affordable. This easy pizza sauce recipe makes a large batch, enough for 5 to 6 pizzas. Make it for your next pizza night, and store any leftovers in the freezer. You’ll love having…

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!

Tortilla soup is one of my favorite foods. Not just one of my favorite soups (though of course it is), but one of my favorite foods in general. I love how the rich, flavorful broth contrasts with toppings like crunchy tortilla strips and creamy avocado. Now that the temperatures are cooling off for the season, you can bet that I’ll have this tortilla soup recipe on repeat. Tortilla soup (or sopa de tortilla or sopa Azteca) is thought to have originated in central Mexico, though you can find regional variations throughout Mexico and the US today. I can’t claim that…

Apple Crisp

This apple crisp recipe is a delicious fall dessert. It features juicy cinnamon apples and a brown sugar oat topping. Serve with vanilla ice cream!

Let’s make apple crisp! I love this classic fall dessert because it’s easy, delicious, and full of the flavors of the season. Cinnamon, apples, and brown sugar? Yes, please! I’m sharing my favorite apple crisp recipe below. It features juicy, cinnamon-spiced apples with a buttery brown sugar and oat topping. It’s rich and comforting, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. 🙂 I’ve shared apple crisp and crumble recipes in the past, but never one as simple or as classic as this.
