Need Your Opinion + 5 Recipes You’ll Love!

Hi foodie,

I’ve been working behind the scenes on something exciting — updating my website to make it more user-friendly, fun, and easy to follow. You’ve probably already noticed some small changes here and there, but now I need your help with something important…

QUICK POLL: SHOULD I KEEP THE STEP-BY-STEP PHOTOS?

Some of my recipe posts include step-by-step photos within the body of the post (outside the recipe card). Others don’t.

What do I mean by that? I’m talking about those in-post photos that show you how each stage of the recipe looks — mixing the batter, shaping the dough, layering the ingredients, etc. Not just the final result, but the process.

I’m always trying to make the experience on my website as helpful, fun, and easy-to-follow as possible, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned home cook. That’s why your opinion matters so much to me — I want to build the kind of recipe blog you actually enjoy using.

Here are a couple examples with step-by-step photos:

• Spanakopita

• Fettuccine Alfredo

And here are some newer posts without the photo steps:

• Blueberry Muffin Cake

• Cottage Cheese Fudge

A QUICK NOTE ABOUT THIS NEWSLETTER

Big news — this newsletter finally has a sponsor! 🎉
It might sound small, but for me, it’s huge.

To be honest, I’ve poured so much time and money into this newsletter, and at one point, I really considered shutting it down. But I’m SO glad I didn’t — this has become my favorite way to connect with you.

And now that it’s growing, some amazing brands are noticing too. Like this one...

SPONSOR SHOUTOUT: QUINCE

You know I don’t approve just any sponsor — I only share brands I think you’ll love. Quince is one of them.

They offer affordable luxury — we’re talking high-quality fashion, bedding, and home goods at insanely good prices. How? They cut out the middleman and ship directly from the factory to your door. It's stylish and smart.

Affordable home luxuries for 50% less

Quince believes that quality should never be a luxury, with premium furniture, home decor, and kitchen essentials all priced at 50-80% less than similar brands.

Ready to upgrade your home without the upgraded price? Check out the latest arrivals that are sure the sell out.

P.S. Every time you click the sponsor link, I make a little money (very little, but still 😂). So thank you for the support 💛
