I don't know how I stumbled on Katie Lee Biegel's IG, explore page probably? But her IGTV channel is exactly the amount of effort I want to be putting in to my cooking these days. I recently became a mom, and so did she, so I probably am feeling extra kindred. But do me a favor, go watch and make yourself a Backpack Bagel! I've been having them multiple times a week.

She isn't as cool as Martha, as quirky as Molly, or as cute as Matty, but g*ddamn if Chrissy isn't my favourite celeb cook. I rediscovered this cookbook series recently and every recipe slaps my tastebuds in a playful (consensual) way. As I write this, the smell of her Everything Bagel Cream Cheese Breakfast Bake is wafting through the house. Might make her Pineapple Glazed Short Ribs later this week.
She's not relatable at all but there's no denying these flavours!!!

This guy really doesn't miss. His videos are instructional, fun and well edited with easy to follow recipes that make you want to go out and make whatever he is cooking. He has a free website with all of his recipes and most of his videos have the recipe in the description. I have made a few of his recipes include the Tiramisu and his Holiday Sides, both of which came out great.

Ina Garten has taught me so much about cooking, tablescaping, and making sure to use the *good* vanilla while baking. Her voice is soothing as she demonstrates how to make otherwise intimidating recipes. I’m glad this is streaming on Max, I watched pretty much all these episodes when they first aired (Food Network stayed on in the house growing up). Plus, her Hamptons house is big goals.

This is probably the most old lady thing I'll ever do, but here I am recommending dried fruit. You know when you're used to the grocery store version of something, and then you have an excellent version, and it's just like... a completely different thing? That happened to me when I first bought a nice bottle of olive oil. And also when I ordered from Apricot King. I love dried apricots on my oatmeal, and now I'm spoiled beyond return. I just turn my nose up at those dumb bags of stupid apricots at the grocery and keep on walkin.

I've never been a drinker... until motherhood. Now at the end of the day I don't mind something to take the edge off. Not to mention the slog of winter is upon us, and all I want is to think of the warm weather - enter the Aperol Spritz. It's the perfect end-of-day drink for me because it's not too strong (I'm breastfeeding). But I can't get through a whole bottle of prosecco before it goes flat, so I've been getting 4 packs of cans of prosecco. Did everyone else know this trick already?! It feels like a stroke of genius to this sleep deprived gal.

So I've started rewatching this as one of the several archival series I've revisited in quarantimes. Season 1 is perfect television, and season 2 goes completely off the rails. At first I was pissed, but then I did some light googling and found out there had been a writer's strike for season 2, and now I'm watching with a sick intrigue as the plot lines get more and more convoluted. It's truly insane, and I'm here for it.
