Pot de Crème au Chocolat (Chocolate Pots de Crème) has always been one of my favorite desserts (or snacks, if we’re being honest!).

I love spreading it […]

Washing produce with vinegar or baking soda might seem like… sigh, just one more step—I get it. In reality, it’s a simple and effective method for removing dirt, certain pesticides, and some bacteria from your fruits and vegetables. Additionally, it helps eliminate mold spores, chemical residues, fungi, and yeast that may linger on the surface. […]

I’ve tried every trick in the book to make the perfect hard-boiled eggs—the ones that peel easily every time, the ones where the shell slips right off without any struggle. But despite my best efforts, I often ended up with half-torn whites, shells that were tough to peel, or yolks that were either overcooked or […]

I don’t have much to say about this homemade hummus recipe other than… it’s super simple, delicious, and a family favorite.
