Stuffed Italian Sausage
I saw @coolketocouple on Tiktok make these stuffed sausages and absolutely loved them so I thought I’d share them! It’s a simple 3 ingredient recipe that uses Italian sausage, string cheese, and marinara sauce. The Italian seasoning is optional depending on how flavorful your Italian sausages are. Tips for Stuffed Sausages Add Peppers and Onions for some vegetablesRao’s Marinara sauce is my favorite marinara sauce (not sponsored).

Air Fryer Frozen Mozzarella Sticks
Sometimes you don’t always have the time to make homemade mozzarella sticks so frozen is the next best option. I recently got a Costco membership and have been trying out different frozen foods in my air fryer. If you have a Costco membership let me know what foods you want to know how to cook in the air fryer below and I’ll write a post about it. The Petite Cusine frozen mozzarella sticks cook up really well in the air fryer, but any kind of frozen mozzarella stick will work with ... continue reading...

Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso
If you haven’t heard by now Starbucks released 2 new drinks this week. The Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso and the Chocolate Almond Milk Shaken espresso. I tried the Brown Sugar Oatmilk drink and the taste reminded me of a snickerdoodle or cinnamon roll. The pic above is pretty much what the drink looks like when it's all mixed together. Some people on the Internet were complaining that $6.00 is a lot for this drink (and I kind of agree with that). It can be easily made at home if you have ... continue reading...
Baked Oats
As an adult I never liked oatmeal. The reason I never liked oats was because of the texture and they were really never satisfying to me. These baked oats are just like eating dessert for breakfast. When the oats come out of the oven it almost looked like a chocolate chip cookie. After trying baked oats this way I could eat them every day for breakfast now! This baked oatmeal is best served warm. The chocolate chips get a little melted in the oven and melted peanut butter is so good drizzled ... continue reading...
Homemade Ranch Dressing
This ranch dressing recipe needed a serious makeover and the last one the spices weren’t right at all. I think this recipe is 10 times better than the previous one. If you are coming from Pinterest please note that this recipe has been updated and any comments below that mention ingredients not in the recipe card will be wrong. Thanks! I love the dry ranch seasoning packet mixes at the store. They are so convenient and I wanted to make them myself at home. That’s probably what the major ... continue reading...
Avocado and Egg Toast
Breakfast can be super healthy with this avocado and egg toast! I serve mine with whole grain bread and some fruit to make sure I'm getting some great nutrients. I've been trying to master frying eggs in a nonstick skillet because I'm currently getting sick of scrambled eggs. Fried eggs take a little bit longer to cook than scrambled eggs do. I watched a couple of youtube videos on how to make the best fried eggs and they all required a couple of tablespoons of butter. Butter is kind of ... continue reading...
