  • CONFESSION: I’m a bit of a neat freak. I love organizing and order. I can’t focus if my work area is a mess and it stresses me out to fall asleep or wake up to a messy bedroom. 🤦🏼‍♀️🛏🚪🛋
.
So it should be no surprise that I love to keep my kitchen nice and tidy - especially since I’m cooking in it EVERY day!🍽🥣
.
Today on the blog I’m sharing how I keep my kitchen tidy AND some of my favorite kitchen organization products.🗑🗳📚
.
If you need some order in your life or if you live in a small space and are looking for some storage ideas, check out this post! The link is in my bio.

  • Happy Valentine's Day!❤️
This healthier Cherry Cobbler for Two is perfect for dessert tonight. The best part? You probably have most of the ingredients already! #ad
.
All I needed was the cherries, and since they're not in season right now, @sealtheseasons frozen cherries were perfect for this recipe. I LOVE that these cherries are from local New York farms. 👨🏽‍🌾👩🏼‍🌾
.
@sealtheseasons works with local farmers in the United States to freeze their produce and make it available to consumers all year long. I always have frozen fruit on hand because it can be used in SO MANY ways! 🍒
.
You can find @sealtheseasons at @wholefoods, @shopritestores and coming soon to select NYC stores! 🛍🛒
.
Recipe: Healthier Cherry Cobbler for Two🍒
.
- Filling Ingredients -
1 cup @sealtheseasons frozen cherries, thawed slightly
1/8 cup coconut or brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
Pinch lemon zest
Pinch salt
.
- Topping Ingredients -
1/8 cup oats + 2 Tablespoons, divided
2 Tablespoons whole wheat flour
1 Tablespoon coconut or brown sugar
Pinch salt
1.5 Tablespoons chilled unsalted butter
.
- Instructions -
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In a small oven-safe ramekin, combine the filling ingredients. Set aside.
3. In a mini food processor, pulse together 1/8 cup oats and the rest of the topping ingredients for about 5 seconds. Stir in the remaining 2 Tablespoons of oats and pinch the topping together with fingers for 30 seconds. If it still feels dry and loose, then add a bit more butter.
4. Sprinkle the topping over the cherry mixture. Bake for 30 minutes, until the cherries are bubbling and the topping is light brown and crisp. Cool the ramekin on a wire rack for 10 minutes and serve warm with vanilla ice cream (optional).

  • NEW recipe on the blog just in time for Valentine's Day!! 💗
.
This Pesto Spaghetti with Blistered Tomatoes and Roasted Garlic is the perfect recipe for a date night at home. I am all about staying home on Valentine's Day, and this meal is SUPER easy to make (even for the most novice cook, I promise!) 🍝
.
I made this recipe in collaboration with @pepperhome, a home accessories company started by two of my friends! Full transparency: this post is not sponsored. I just love Pepper products SO much and was so excited to share them with you.
.
@pepperhome is all about fun patterns to spice up any room, and I just love their table linens!
If your space is white, gray, or neutral, @pepperhome pillows, throws, and placemats are such an easy way to brighten up your space. I give you lots more detail on why I love Pepper in the blog post, so click the link in my bio to read it!

Between now and Valentine's Day you can get 15% off Pepper's Valentine's Day Collection using the code BRIEMINE (hehe).

  • Making my Weeknight Sesame Chicken Stir Fry for dinner tonight and so pumped! Haven’t made it since I posted the recipe to the blog in November, so it’s been WAY too long!
.
Those of you who have tried it have given the recipe rave reviews and I LOVE hearing that!
.
TWO reasons why I love this recipe:
- It is ready in 25 min!
- I use ground chicken (or turkey) so no chopping up raw chicken required! Saves you time and well, raw chicken is just bleh!
