Easy Individual Chicken Pot Pies For Two

And did I mention big? When you’re not cooking for a family, there’s no way you are finishing one off unless you are eating leftovers for days, which is just not my thing. Whelp, problem solved: Let’s make some Individual Chicken Pot Pies!...

How To Freeze Bananas

Hey friend, you know I love using sad brown bananas in banana recipes, but today I thought we’d chat about what to do with those sad brown bananas when you don’t have the time (or inclination) to make something with them. The answer? Freeze them! Can you freeze bananas? Absolutely yes! Bananas freeze extremely well both to be used in smoothies and milkshakes (some would argue that frozen bananas are even better for these than fresh) and for baking....

Pumpkin Shortbread Cookies

When I started planing recipes to share this fall, one of the first things I wanted to make was pumpkin shortbread cookies, because I love pumpkin; I love shortbread; of course I was going to combine two of my favorite things into one cookie come fall. But when I went looking for pumpkin shortbread cookie recipes, I realized a pumpkin/shortbread hybrid was easier said than created.
