homemade & local eats
Although I love posting new creations and recipes on here, let’s be honest – sometimes we just don’t have the time. Seriously, sometimes I look at other people’s feeds and think, how on earth do they have the time to make everything? I’m sure my feed can give off that vibe as well, so I’ll …
When I first started this account, one of the first things I made was crème brûlée! It’s been about a year now and I’ve been able to experiment with different flavors and foods and get more comfortable making new dishes that I wouldn’t have dreamed of before. Thai tea is one of my favorite flavors, …
Totally jumping on the bandwagon with these miso brown butter cookies – did you guys know you can even include miso in desserts? The taste is so subtle but really adds a ton of depth and flavor to the cookies, and pairs perfectly with the brown butter. You can find the white miso at a …
Anyone else worried about the current boba shortage? Boba milk tea is one of my absolute FAVORITE things, and with supply apparently running thin, now is the best time to give making boba milk tea at home! This (super simple) recipe is just for regular milk tea, but it also serves as a great base …
An at-home shrimp boil? Sign me up! I used to make this meal pretty regularly starting a few years ago, because it was incredibly delicious yet so simple to make. All you need are some fresh shrimp, andouille sausage, corn, potatoes, and seasonings wrapped in foil. You can stick it on the grill or cook …
Summer rolls are exactly as they sound – fresh, healthy, and full of summery flavors. I love getting them at my favorite Vietnamese or Thai restaurant with cilantro, basil, rice noodles, and shrimp, but you can also make them at home using whatever fillings, protein, and fresh veggies you want! Highly suggest pairing them with …
Brownies are some of my favorite dessert, because of how versatile they are – you can add Nutella, make them fudgy or cakey (I prefer fudgy), eat them with ice cream, add frosting, and really do whatever you want (check out my mochi brownies from last year on instagram). This time I’ve added peanut butter, …
Is it just me or are blueberries the perfect fruit for every breakfast food? Pancakes, parfaits, and muffins are just SO much better with blueberries. A classic blueberry muffin is one of my favorite breakfast treats and is a crowd-pleaser – it also makes your whole house smell fantastic. The batter is super simple to whip up, and you really …
Snap, crackle, pop! I loved rice krispies treats as a kid (I still do), and I’m really fortunate that they’re so easy to make at home. I definitely prefer homemade rice krispies treats, because you can incorporate flavors like brown butter and fresh marshmallow to add more depth to the dessert. These are perfect for …
Chicken pot pie is one of my favorites foods! I’m not ashamed to admit that I have on occasion just purchased a Marie Callender pie from the grocery store, because making it can be so time-consuming. But a homemade pot pie really can’t be beat, especially with a perfectly buttery, flaky crust!
