Spring cleaning? Start with your pantry.


Hey Reader,

I don't know about you, but as spring approaches I get the itch to clean everything. And for me, that means doing a pantry clean-out. Bonus - I always find something good to eat!

This year I found a forgotten bag of Trader Joe's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, and that is a true treasure when you live in Sweden! Definitely using them to bake up some of my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies this week.

If you need more sustenance than chocolate chip cookies, here are some other pantry staple options for those post-cleaning sprees - or anytime, really!

Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Chicken Pasta

Pasta is the ultimate pantry staple. Along with sun dried tomatoes, this is a pantry dinner at its tastiest!

How to Make Tater Tots

Got some potatoes in your pantry that are about to sprout? Make them into tater tots!

1-Minute Gyoza Sauce

You are three pantry staple ingredients away from a versatile sauce to go with gyozas, dumplings, and more!

Happy Spring Cleaning (and eating),

Hey Reader, So last week we talked about mashed potatoes and their importance on the Thanksgiving table. This week, the second most important thing (no, it's still not the turkey): the appetizers! We all love a good appetizer, right? But when you're cooking a whole big Thanksgiving dinner, it can be difficult to also fit in time to make appetizers. That's when these little gems come in handy! They're all very tasty, very easy, and either hands off to make or can be prepped in advance. Just...

Hey Reader, If you've been around here for a while, you know I struggle HARD to eat my veggies. I just don't have the energy to cook dinner, AND veggies, in between taking care of my dog and horses, working out and trying to get some actual work done (like writing you this e-mail ;) ). BUT these salads are so good, even I make them regularly. Not every day, definitely not - but I make one of them at least once per week. And now in summer, I often make the first one multiple times each week!...
