  If I had to pick my “last meal” (don’t make me!), a big juicy Mushroom Swiss Burger would be right up at the tippy-top of my list. There’s just something ridiculously comforting about hearty, savory grilled mushrooms blanketing a beef patty—that melty Swiss cheese draping everything like a cozy sweater.

Once you bite into that cheesy, umami-packed goodness, you’ll totally get why my family and I are obsessed. Let’s just say, nobody ever has to twist my arm to make “burger …

  Maybe it’s just me, but the minute someone mentions taquitos, my stomach does a little happy dance. And when you swap out all that deep-frying for an air fryer? Oh, we’re officially in dream snack territory. My family has a long-standing love affair with Mexican food (Tex-Mex Tuesday is a real thing in our house), and crispy taquitos straight from the air fryer are always a runaway favorite—warm, crunchy, cheesy, and full of that signature craveable goodness. They’re basically happiness wrapped up in a tortilla. These easy Air Fryer Taquitos have become my go-to for game night appetizers, quick …

  Tell me I’m not the only American who grew up on baked beans from a can—sweet, sticky, plopped next to hot dogs or tucked into a paper plate at church picnics. But then I visited England and, oh, my world: British Baked Beans are a different breed. They’re cozier, milder, swimming in a luscious tomato sauce (not swimming in syrup, whew), and they’re practically a national breakfast treasure over there. Ever since, I’ve been hooked. Now it’s my little weekly project to whip up a batch of homemade British Baked Beans, just like the ones you’ll find on Culinary …

This isn’t just any pasta sauce. It’s the soul-soothing, nap-inducing, make-everyone-happy kind of comfort food that my family requests on chilly Sundays or whenever we need a little edible hug. I promise, if you’ve never tried making classic Bolognese from scratch—give it a whirl! It’s easier than you think, and your home will smell so amazing your neighbors might just “drop …

  Cheese tortellini is one of those Italian pasta dishes that always takes me right back to my childhood kitchen table. I can almost hear my mom hollering for us to “wash up for dinner!” while a big pot of creamy-sauced tortellini bubbled away on the stove.

  If you’ve ever traveled through the UK or watched too much British TV (guilty as charged), I bet you’ve at least heard of scotch eggs. There’s a good reason these golden, sausage-wrapped beauties have stood the test of time—they’re honestly the ultimate comfort food. I’ll always remember the first time I tried one at a little British pub. Crispy outside, perfectly tender egg inside, and that savory sausage layer… oh my stars, I was hooked.

  Maybe it’s just me, but every time I see those old-fashioned, comforting open-faced turkey and gravy sandwiches on a diner menu, my heart skips a beat. There’s something downright magical about thick slices of turkey piled on soft bread, dripping in savory gravy—like Thanksgiving snuck into a regular Tuesday night.

  Is there anything more tempting than a golden, pillowy donut stuffed with your favorite sweet, creamy (or chocolatey!) filling? Honestly, just the thought of homemade stuffed donuts brings me back to lazy Sunday mornings, bustling-around-the-kitchen with coffee in hand, powdered sugar everywhere, and my girls sneaking tastes before breakfast. Store-bought will never compare! Making stuffed donuts at home is a little messy, sure, but so wonderfully comforting and totally worth every second. A sweet treat like this?
