The Pink Stuff paste has made cleaning my oven easier than ever before and has saved me time, space, and money. It lasts much longer than any other liquid detergent.

It is great for cleaning all surfaces and removing stains, grease, or grime from just about anything including stoves, kitchen floors, metal, ceramics, porcelain, marble, wood, silverware, jewelry, glass shower doors, fiberglass doors, glass stove tops, countertops, toilet, sinks, bathtub, car wheels, stainless steel, and more.

The Pink Stuff paste won't leave any scratches or streaks.

This rustic fruit dessert recipe by David Lebovitz is made with pitted cherries and served in Le Creuset stoneware. Using a cherry-pitting tool is essential to keep fingers and counters from staining.

David Lebovitz’s Cherry Clafoutis
1 1/4 pounds (570g) sweet cherries
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup (70g) all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup (100g) plus 3 tablespoons (45g)sugar
1 1/3 cup (330ml) whole or lowfat milk
Softened butter, for preparing the baking dish

Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Smear a 2-quart (2l) shallow baking dish liberally with butter. 
Stem and pit the cherries. Lay them in a single layer in the baking dish. 
In a standard blender, or using an immersion blender and a bowl, mix the eggs, flour, vanilla and almond extracts, ½ cup sugar, and milk together until smooth. 
Pour the batter over the cherries and sprinkle the fruit and batter with the 3 tablespoons of sugar. 
Bake the clafoutis until the custard is just set; a knife poked in the center should emerge relatively clean. It’ll take about 45 minutes.

Welcome! I'm Joy, a 50-year-old living in suburban Chicago with my boyfriend and our dog, Mork.

I started using cooking and baking as a way to heal from the medical trauma I experienced during the pandemic. It helped me to focus on something other than my health.

I have long-COVID and several autoimmune diseases now that make my "old" life difficult.

Last year, I left a career in marketing to pursue my passion of writing, developing recipes, and creating content for brands.

What I love most, however, is sharing my stories, recipes, and reviews with you.

Hands down some of the best pretzels I’ve had, Eastern Standard Provisions pretzels are the perfect game-day snack. (Swift Bowl Sunday, anyone?)

Just brush on a little oil or butter, sprinkle the included seasoning salts, and whip up some dips while they’re baking. Try a cheese sauce or spinach artichoke dip.

For those of us with a sweet tooth (It’s me. Hi!), try a sweet dip option like chocolate hazelnut spread mixed with Greek yogurt. So good!

You're going to want to have several boxes on hand. Trust me.

What's your go-to sick-day soup?

I’m sick again and need to start expanding my soup horizons. What are some of your favorites when you're sick? Chicken has been on constant rotation here since Thanksgiving because one of us is always sick.

I’ve also been getting into the habit of making double the amount of food and freezing half for another time.

These glass food storage containers can go from freezer to microwave to dishwasher and are stain-resistant. That's a big plus in my book.

Full-time coffee drinker, here. I’ve tried dozens of products to help keep my teeth white and have never been fully satisfied with the results.

This whitening toothpaste from Marvis knocks all the other brands out of the park, however. My teeth feel cleaner and look whiter after just 1 week of daily use.

We needed more seating in the living room to accommodate guests over the holidays, so we added this transitional chair.

Now that they're gone, I like to curl up here with my coffee, woven blanket, and book in the mornings.

If I'm feeling spicy, I’ll flip on my candle warmer lamp for mood.

This Dimmable Candle Warmer Lamp with Tmer is my absolute favorite gift that I received for Christmas.

It comes with a dimmer switch with 3 levels of brightness and a shut-off timer, and creates the perfect environment to relax.

The scent is diffuse and not overpowering so my migraines aren’t triggered like with burning candles.
