😋1/18/26: January, you’re long… let’s make dinner easy 😉🤍 + a news segment at my house🎥...


Ciao Reader!

January is long, winter is real, and decision fatigue is setting in. So this week, I’m keeping things simple with fresh flavors, cozy comfort, and easy one-pot dinners that do the heavy lifting for us. If you’re feeling a little tired of it all, you’re definitely not alone.

A little 👀 into my week: I did loads of recipe testing and writing, filmed videos for Instagram, and even had a video shoot at my home for a fun news segment (even my mamma was there). Sending love ♥️, Elena

🥰If you made a recipe, please leave a star rating and comment- it helps my online business :).

Let's start with a recipe you loved this week...

TACO SOUP

This was a delicious hit for my family tonight! It was a flavor party in your mouth. It comes together easily, which I love and need on busy week nights. Can’t wait to eat the leftovers! I bet it tastes even better the next day 🙂- Angela
