I used to just toss fruit in a big bowl — but portioned in little cups? Game changer. These fruit salad cups are easy, adorable, and somehow make fruit more exciting (especially for kids).

Stuffed peppers always felt like a "Sunday dinner" kind of recipe — but I wanted a version I could pull off on a Wednesday. This one nails it. I prep the filling in one pan, stuff the peppers, and let the oven do the rest. They’re warm, filling, and a great way to sneak in veggies. Even my picky eat...

I’ll admit it — I was skeptical about cauliflower rice at first. But after one bite of this version, I was hooked. It gives you all the comfort and flavor of classic fried rice, without the heaviness. Now it’s my favorite clean-out-the-fridge dinner. Quick, colorful, and my kids don’t even realize ...

This was one of the first "grown-up" meals I made that actually felt fancy... but was secretly SO easy.
