Instant Pot Lemon Risotto
Instant Pot for the Win! I am all about my Instant Pot. I use it for mac-n-cheese, chicken, mashed potatoes, cheesecake and now this Lemon Risotto. Risotto is one of my favorite sides but it can be a real pain to make.

Browned Butter M&M Blondies
Memorial Day weekend is here and that means time for a yummy treat, these Browned Butter Blondies are perfect! All about the browned butter… I love a good blondie but these blondies are next level. Why? You ask… it is all about the browned butter. Browned butter really does make all the difference. It adds a nutty bite to the bars and a richness that cannot be adequately described with words alone. Now I do know that the idea of browning butter can sounds a little intimidating but it really isn’t… you just have to pay attention to it. All you do is let the butter melt, it…
