Homemade Cornbread

Learn how to make the BEST cornbread from scratch! With a lightly sweet corn flavor and tender crumb, it's delicious alongside a hot bowl of soup.

fall / baking

This cornbread recipe has been a staple in my kitchen for years. I hope it’ll become one in yours too! If my Midwestern upbringing taught me one thing, it’s that there’s nothing better than a slice of cornbread and a bowl of chili on a cold fall night. But I’m not talking about just any cornbread. I’m talking about good cornbread, the kind that’s slightly crumbly, perfectly golden, and right on the line between savory and sweet. This homemade cornbread recipe checks every box. Even Jack, who generally swears off cornbread, is happy eating slice after slice. I’ll always vote for pairing…

Air Fryer Baked Potato

Learn how to make an air fryer baked potato with flavorful, crispy skin and fluffy insides! Enjoy it with toppings like chives, sour cream, and/or butter.

This air fryer baked potato recipe is a quick and easy way to make a perfect baked potato! Ready in around 45 minutes in the air fryer, the potatoes have crisp, salty skins and moist, fluffy insides. You just need 3 ingredients to make them: olive oil, salt, and (of course) russet potatoes! In this recipe, I use the same method as in my classic oven baked potato recipe. I rub the potato skins with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt so that they become crisp and flavorful as they cook. I don’t use foil—baking the potatoes bare is…

It’s perfect for Friday nights, parties, or even game day—any time you want a meal that’s just as fun as it is delicious. The next time you’re in the mood for pizza, give it a try!

Vegetarian Tortilla Soup

This tortilla soup recipe has a rich, fragrant broth filled with corn and black beans. We love it with crispy tortilla strips and avocado on top!

Tortilla soup is one of my favorite foods. Not just one of my favorite soups (though of course it is), but one of my favorite foods in general. I love how the rich, flavorful broth contrasts with toppings like crunchy tortilla strips and creamy avocado. Now that the temperatures are cooling off for the season, you can bet that I’ll have this tortilla soup recipe on repeat. Tortilla soup (or sopa de tortilla or sopa Azteca) is thought to have originated in central Mexico, though you can find regional variations throughout Mexico and the US today. I can’t claim that…

fall

This homemade applesauce recipe is a staple in our house year-round, but especially during apple season. It’s an easy way to use up a surplus of too-soft or overripe apples, and as it cooks, it fills your house with the aroma of fresh apples and cinnamon. That smell is SO cozy on a crisp fall day. On its own, it’d be enough to make anyone a homemade applesauce convert. But this homemade applesauce recipe gets better. It doesn’t just smell good—it tastes good too! It’s tangy, lightly sweet, and full of spiced apple flavor. You can make it chunky if…
