Like most of us, Ikea has a true place in my heart. It’s one of the only non-thrift stores I could shop at in my 20s and early 30s, and yet I still get a burst of dopamine just wandering their aisles. As a Scandinavian design lover, they check all the boxes for me and man, they do such a great job of creating design-forward pieces that are so simple (and therefore timeless). On a recent trip, I bought a few things I loved (and saw a lot of things I didn’t need but wanted to call). SKOGSKOVALL King Bedspread…

These Biscoff brownies are thick, fudgy, and loaded with that deep caramelized cookie butter flavor you crave. Picture a rich chocolate brownie with a hidden layer of creamy Biscoff running through the center, crunchy cookie pieces on top, and a glossy drizzle that makes every bite feel like a treat from your favorite bakery.

This Chicken Poblano Soup is rich, smoky, and loaded with tender shredded chicken, charred poblanos, and sweet corn in a creamy broth. I first made this on a chilly October evening when I had leftover rotisserie chicken and a few poblanos sitting on my counter. The smoky peppers gave the soup this incredible depth, and the lime juice at the end brightened everything up. It’s become one of those recipes I turn to when I want something comforting but not too heavy, and it pairs beautifully with dishes like my Best Crockpot Pulled Pork Recipe or Easy Bacon Puff Pastry…

My Favorite Oregon Wine Country Boutique Stay, carlyhas the most gorgeous interior (seen here), but their back patio sat empty all winter long. And while this is fine for the rainy months, with summer arriving, I had to indulge myself in getting it right. The owners are two of my closest friends, and it benefits me too (we’re celebrating Brian’s mom’s 80th birthday here this summer). That’s why I partnered up most modern Furnish it within a few weeks with furniture that not only looks good but is also durable. We wanted to create the outdoor oasis this property deserves.…

Almonds add nice flavor and also make the murukku a little special. You…

This smoky, fall-apart Crockpot Pulled Pork is the kind of meal that makes you look like a hero without breaking a sweat. The slow cooker does all the heavy lifting while you go about your day, and when you come home, the whole house smells like a BBQ joint. I first made this on a random Tuesday when I had a massive pork shoulder in the fridge and zero energy to fuss over dinner. Tossed it in with some spices and walked away best decision ever. It’s simple, uses pantry staples, and turns out tender, juicy meat every single time.…
