Coming from Louisiana, I was not about to pass up Coming from Louisiana, I was not about to pass up Natchitoches meat pies.

And yes, it’s pronounced Nack-uh-dish.

These little meat pies are filled with seasoned beef, onion, bell pepper, garlic, warm spices, and Tabasco, then baked until golden and served with a spicy buttermilk dip.

The dip is where things get very Southern very quickly: buttermilk, mayo, sour cream, celery salt, lemon juice, scallions, and more Tabasco. The pies are good on their own, but with the dip? Absolutely better.

They look more complicated than they are, which is always appreciated when you want something homemade but don’t feel like spending all day in your kitchen.

Have you ever had a Natchitoches meat pie?

When you go to the grocery store, completely forge When you go to the grocery store, completely forget about your list, and walk out with a bunch of figs instead.

This is what happened.

These Honeyed Fig Crostatas are rustic, buttery, and exactly the kind of summer dessert I want when the produce section makes decisions for me. Fresh figs get tossed with honey, lemon, thyme, and a pinch of salt, then tucked into little pastry rounds and baked until golden and jammy.

It feels like the perfect farewell to summer because, let’s be honest, it’s practically pumpkin season now, right?

Fresh figs do not need much to become dessert. A little honey, lemon, thyme, and homemade pastry let the fruit stay the point, which is always a good move when the produce actually looks worth buying.

Are we still doing summer desserts, or have you already emotionally moved on to pumpkin?

Sticky toffee pudding for breakfast? I’m not seein Sticky toffee pudding for breakfast? I’m not seeing the problem.

These Sticky Toffee Overnight Oats are made with steel-cut oats, Medjool dates, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla, then finished with a buttery maple-date sauce and a little drizzle of cream.

The slow cooker does the work here, and the oats cook gently in jars almost like a water bath. It gives them the best texture—tender, chewy, and not mushy, which is exactly why this is not your usual overnight oats situation.

And yes, it still counts as breakfast. I checked with myself and approved it.

Using pantry staples like oats, dates, and maple syrup makes this a good make-ahead breakfast that keeps well in the fridge and helps cut down on rushed mornings and food waste.

Would you eat this for breakfast or save it for dessert?

Strawberry season showed up, so obviously I had to Strawberry season showed up, so obviously I had to make it everyone’s problem.

I was recently sent sprouted Kamut flour from @allsprouts , and this Strawberry Honey Focaccia felt like the right way to use it. Kamut has this naturally nutty, slightly buttery flavor that makes the dough taste more interesting without making it feel heavy or overly “health food.” It still gives you that chewy, golden focaccia texture, but with a little more depth.

This one is sweet, savory, and honestly hard to stop picking at. Jammy strawberries baked into the dough,  a drizzle of honey, and a strawberry balsamic jam on the side because I needed more strawberries.

If you’ve never baked with sprouted flour before, this is a good place to start. It brings flavor without making the recipe feel complicated, which is exactly what I want from a specialty flour.

Using strawberries while they’re in season means better flavor with less fuss, and working sprouted whole grains into baking is a simple way to bring more variety and intention into everyday ingredients.
