These items in my kitchen I use pretty much every day! They save me so much time, and as a working mom, that’s everything!!

Caraway cookware — the sauté pan, fry pan, pot, sheet pan… all of it.
Non-toxic. Truly nonstick. Beautiful enough to leave out on the stove. And the cleanup?? I’m not exaggerating when I say food just slides off. No scrubbing. No soaking. It has made cooking (and cleaning) so much more enjoyable.

The onion chopper. Where has this been all my life?? Onions, peppers, veggies- done in seconds. It saves time, saves my eyes, and makes weeknight cooking feel way easier.

Branch Basics - this is what I use daily in my kitchen. Counters, table, highchair, stovetop, fridge, all of it. I love that it’s truly non-toxic, kid-safe, pet-safe, and still actually works. No harsh smells, no worrying if my kids touch the counter five seconds later. It just feels good knowing what I’m using in the heart of our home.

The grape slicer. Such a small thing, but it saves me SO much time. It quarters grapes perfectly in one press, which is how I serve them for my kids. No more slicing grape by grape with a knife. If you have little ones and serve grapes often, this is one of those “why didn’t I buy this sooner” tools!

My exact meal planning notebook isn’t available anymore but I’ve linked a similar one!

These are the everyday kitchen things that genuinely make my life easier. Safer, quicker, and less chaotic. I’d buy every single one again. 🤍

Stuffed Jalapeños

Ingredients:
1lb breakfast sausage
1lb fresh jalapeños
1 pack cream cheese
1 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese

1. Preheat oven to 475
2. Brown your sausage and drain fat
3. Wash and slice jalapeños lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and rib (don’t touch your face or eyes after without washing your hands well!🔥)
4. Mix browned sausage, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese together well in a bowl
5. Stuff jalapeños with sausage and cheese mixture. Bake for 20-25 min.

**I’d say these are mild in heat. They truly aren’t spicy if you get the seeds and rib out. I am a wimp when it comes to spice and I eat these so much!

Serve and enjoy!

This sheet meal is delicious and so easy to make. Add a side salad and some baguette! I like a green salad with a simple vinaigrette- Ina Garten has a great vinaigrette recipe!

🍯 Honey Dijon Sheet-Pan Chicken

Ingredients (serves 4)
Chicken:
1½–2 lb chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on for best flavor)
Salt + black pepper, to taste
Optional: trim excess fat to your liking (I left it on for moisture)

Vegetables:
1 lb baby potatoes, halved
2 cups carrots, sliced on the bias, ½–¾ inch thick
1 red onion, cut into thick wedges
Optional: green beans or broccoli (added later)

Honey Dijon Glaze
⅓ cup Dijon mustard
¼ cup honey
3 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh thyme, finely chopped OR 1 tsp dried
1 tsp paprika
Salt + black pepper, to taste

Instructions
1. Make the glaze:
In a bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, garlic, herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the chicken (recommended):
Season chicken lightly with salt and pepper. Add to a bowl or zip-top bag and coat well with the glaze.
Marinate at least 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours in the fridge for more flavor).
3. If leaving the skin/fat on, gently pull it back and get some glaze between the meat and the skin, then lay it back down.
4. Prep the oven: Preheat oven to 425°F.
5. Prepare vegetables: Toss potatoes, carrots, and red onion with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the sheet pan.
5. Add chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs among the vegetables. Spoon any extra glaze over the chicken (and lightly over the veggies).
6. Cook uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
7. Optional veggie add-in: If using green beans or broccoli, toss them onto the pan during the last 12–15 minutes of cooking.

I’ve been genuinely blown away by how easy the TYMO CURLPRO PLUS is to use. The anti-tangle technology makes curling feel effortless, my hair comes out smooth and bouncy, and the curls actually last. Such a pretty, polished finish without the struggle.

Mississippi Pot Roast and Baked Cheese Grits is a meal you will want again and again! My friend Sarah made this for me over 10 years ago and thankfully shared the recipe with. I’ve been making it ever since!
I got my chuck roast from Publix and I used McEwen and Sons grits. I can’t link either here. Delicious crockpot recipe

ROAST
1 (2-3lb roast)
1 cup water
1/3 cup white vinegar
1 pack au jus gravy mix
1 pack of Italian dressing mix
1/2 jar of pepperoncini peppers + a little juice
1 stick of butter
Carrots, potatoes, and celery- optional but I say don’t skip it!

1. Place meat in crockpot and punch holes with fork
2. Add chopped vegetables here if you’re using them
3. Mix vinegar with water, gravy mix and Italian dressing mix
4. Pour over roast (and vegetables)
5. Place peppers on top with a little of their juice.
6. Add stick of butter on top of roast.
7. Cover and cook on low for 8 hrs.
**if liquid cooks down too much add a little water
8. Pull meat apart and serve.

Baked Cheese Grits
4 1/2 cups of water, divided
1 tsp salt
1 cup quick cooking grits
1/2 cup butter
1 block pepper jack cheese, shredded
2 eggs, beaten

Preheat oven to 350
1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot.
2. While you wait for water to boil:
-shred your cheese
-cut butter into 1 inch pieces so it melts easily
-beat two eggs and add remaining 1/4 cup water to them
3. Once water is boiling, stir in salt and grits. Reduce heat to low and let grits cook for about 2 minutes, stirring often.
4. Add butter and cheese to grits, stirring to combine and melt.
5. Remove pot from heat.
6. Dip out 2-3 large spoonfuls of grits and add to egg until mixed. This warms the egg and keeps it from scrambling when added to large pot of hot grits.
7. Now pour eggs into pot of grits.
8. Pour all into a 9x13 baking dish. Cook uncovered on 350 for 1 hr.

Serve with roast.

Gang’s all here! My skincare lineup that I can go without! My skin isn’t sensitive so I’m able to use the toning pads II twice a day- morning and night. If you had to pick just one I’d recommend the toning pads. They help with discoloration and evening your skin tone.

Comparing the TYMO CurlPro Plus vs TYMO CurlGo 🤍
Both make curling easier, but the CurlPro Plus gives tighter, bouncier curls that last longer, while CurlGo is great for quick, everyday waves. It’s also cordless so great for travel! A side-by-side look to help you choose the best automatic curling iron for your hair.
