Grab your purse, grab your keys… and grab your bestie! 💜

I’ll be at Shoptember this Sunday with Cooking with Melanie, and I’d love for you to stop by and say hi!

Come check out some of the new fall kitchen goodies, see a few of my favorite mealtime helpers, and ask me about the upcoming Cookie Dough Workshop too. 🍪

There will be lots of local vendors to shop, so bring a friend and make a day of it!

💜 See you Sunday!

🍕 Pizza Night LIVE — Wednesday, Sept. 9 at 5:30 PM PT!
I’m going live on YouTube to show you how I make homemade pizza night easier — from the dough and quick pizza sauce to fresh-grated cheese, garlic-butter crust, and two totally different pizzas.
We’re making a classic sausage & pepperoni pizza plus a BBQ chicken pizza using leftover chicken from dinner the night before. 🙌
If homemade pizza feels like too much work for a weeknight, come hang out with me — I’ll show you the shortcuts and tools that make it easier.

Bell Pepper Tip Tuesday 🫑

Have you heard the 3-bump/4-bump trick before?

3 bumps = less sweet/fewer seeds
4 bumps = sweeter/more seeds

But that’s actually a myth! 👀

The number of bumps doesn’t determine sweetness or seed count. Color and variety matter much more.

💚 Green peppers tend to be less sweet
💛 Yellow peppers are mild and sweet
🧡 Orange peppers are sweet and fruity
❤️ Red peppers are generally the sweetest

Did you believe the 3-bump/4-bump trick? 😂👇 I did for WAY too long! 😂
