I wanted the pumpkin bundt cake, just not the $50 part. So I made one at home and honestly… this might be a problem. 🎃 #FoodSky #BakingSky

Chili belongs on waffles. Specifically cornbread waffles. Crispy edges, little pockets for all the good stuff. A bowl could never. #FoodSky #HomeCooking

controversial kitchen opinion: 45 extra minutes for homemade green enchilada sauce is 100% worth it. canned doesn't come close. fight me.

peak peach season won't last forever. homemade vanilla ice cream + peaches picked at their sweetest = some things don't need improving. #PeachSeason

the pickle dip that became a real problem at our house. cream cheese, greek yogurt, fresh dill, crunchy pickles + a splash of brine. dangerously easy.

Bagel people...I need your wisdom. I’m testing flour combos and chasing that chewy, tight crumb. What’s the one bagel-making trick you swear by? #FoodSky #BakingSky

Small win of the day: the tomatoes I grew in a literal window box are somehow thriving. If they can do it, so can I.

New here? I’m Lauren. I test the foods we normally buy to find out what’s actually worth making from scratch—and share reliable family dinners along the way. Start with homemade ice cream, biscuits, enchilada sauce, and my most-saved weeknight dinner ↓

canned sauce built different or nah?? 🤔 testing my homemade green sauce against Las Palmas today bc I need to know if the extra 45 min of blending/simmering is even worth it. 🍜
A can of Las Palmas Green Chile Enchilada Sauce next to a glass jar labeled 'Green Enchilada Sauce' filled with homemade green sauce, surrounded by fresh cilantro, limes, and tomatillos on a wood table."
