What I cooked this weekend, hot weather edition
It’s been scorcher after scorcher here, so I’m looking for ways to avoid turning on the oven: salads, spiralized vegetables, overnight oats, yogurt, no or minimal bake desserts.

Air fryer burrito
I was challenged to actually post an air fryer burrito, so here it is! I started making these as an antidote to the texture of supermarket wraps, which tend to be chewy and soft in a way I don’t enjoy. Once air fried, the wrap has the texture of a big crackly tortilla chip, and

Heyday Canning Review
“Tonight’s dinner plan? Open this can!” is Heyday’s tagline. I’ve found it to be true. Yes, it’s a can with beans and sauce in it. But the genius of Heyday is the sauce selection plus their recipe blog, Shelf Life. I’ve found new ways to turn a can of beans into dinner, or lunch for
