Here’s What Hit the Blog This Week
From creamy comfort food to bakery-style breakfast and a no-bake snack that’s actually worth eating
Hey friends —
This week’s recipes are a mix of old-school comfort and little bakery moments that make home cooking feel extra fun. Each one has a bit of a backstory, so I’m sharing those below along with the links if you missed anything.
🥄 Creamy Mac and Cheese (Ready in 30!)
This one takes me straight back to childhood. My mom didn’t even like cheese, but once a year she’d go full Velveeta-mode for the creamiest mac. I gave it a little modern love, but the spirit is still the same — super nostalgic and done in under 30 minutes.
🫐 Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Brioche Buns
These feel like they belong behind the glass at a fancy bakery, but I made them in my kitchen and so can you. They’ve got that perfect mix of soft, rich dough and a tangy, creamy center. Bonus: totally acceptable for breakfast and dessert. Get the full recipe here.
One pot. No weird ingredients. Comfort in a bowl. This one surprised me with how simple it was, but it still tastes like something you’d get at a cozy café. I used real veggies (yes, actual broccoli), and it’s perfect for a weeknight dinner that doesn’t feel lazy. Get the full recipe here
🥜 No-Bake Peanut Butter Protein Balls
If you’re looking for a snack that actually fills you up without being sad — this is it. They’re sweet, salty, a little chewy, and great straight from the fridge. No baking. No blender. Just a bowl and a spoon. Get the full recipe here.
Let me know which one you made this week! Or if you’re just here for the photos, no shame — I get it.
Thanks for being here. You can always reply and say hi — I read every message.
