How to Steam Brussels Sprouts Without a Steamer

I don’t think that side dishes are fun to blog about because, quite frankly, they tend to be boring and I have nothing to really talk about. Like “Here’s a recipe. Bye.” However, I find that side dishes are the recipes that I search for the most and if you’re like me then you want to see those here (even if they’re not as exciting as cookies).

Buffalo Chickpea Salad

Guys, I’m obsessed with this salad. I have made buffalo cauliflower three times in the past 2 months.

Jam Sandwich Cookies

I’ve got one more cookie recipe for you for 2021. I love, love, love these sugar cookies. I’ve made them several times over the past few years in different sizes and shapes. They are the most delicious quintessential roll out sugar cookie. Plus, they never spread! I used to get stressed making roll out cookies… I can’t roll them evenly, the dough sticks to everything, the cookies spread, it takes too long, etc. However, (and I can’t believe I’m saying this) I actually find it relaxing to make these sugar cookies. I wanted to kick these sugar cookies up a …
