Top 12 Fall Scents For Your Pura Smart Diffuser —2023

Autumn is well-known for its captivating aromas—the sweet and spicy scent of pumpkin pies, the crisp fragrance of fallen leaves, and the warm and comforting smell of a crackling fireplace. These are just a few things that make falltime feel as magical as it is. I absolutely love a candle o'clock moment, but sometimes you […]

Marble Countertop Restoration: Everything You Need to Know

Nearly 2 years have passed since our honed Carrara marble countertops were installed, and (*confession) we haven't done a thing to keep up maintenance besides wiping them daily with a little dish soap and water. I know, I know, the cleaning gatekeepers would be ashamed, but hey, I've never claimed to be a perfectionist over […]

Homemade Uncured Maple Breakfast Sausage Patties | Chris Cooks

I'm a big fan of convenience. At times, this has meant purchasing a high number of convenience foods to make my days easier, especially in feeding kids. But as Julia's health needs have shifted, and our daughters have developed various sensitivities, I've become accustomed to reading the labels on every food I buy, and my […]

Rosemary & Chili Smashed Potatoes

I love potatoes. What can I say? You can take the boy out of Idaho, but you can't take Idaho out of the boy. Potatoes have so much potential for delicious flavor, and these Rosemary & Chili Smashed Potatoes are no exception. These are basically a hybrid version of a moist (trigger word, sorry) boiled […]

My Favorite Pants That Aren't Jeans

A few months back, I came across this TikTok that shared a fashion revelation that kind of blew my mind. For years, millennial women have been rocking jeans and a cute top. Ask a millennial friend what she's wearing out, and chances are she'll reply, "Jeans and a cute top." Ask a Gen Z, however, […]

Roasted Butternut Squash with Rosemary & Sage | Chris Cooks

Squash is nobody's favorite food. Maybe a baby's? But when it comes to adult foods, squash doesn't fall at the top of the favorite food list. That being said, I think squash is a very underrated food that doesn't get enough hype. Consider this my attempt to hype up some hearty, yummy, roasted butternut squash. […]

Pork Enchiladas with Red Sauce - Grain & Dairy Free | Chris Cooks

Enchiladas are a great way to feed a family. They're pretty universally delicious and even satisfy the appetite of picky eaters, but once you have food restrictions in your family, you realize that nearly every store-bought enchilada sauce contains gluten, grain, and/or dairy. Making your own enchilada sauce isn't as convenient as opening up a […]

Four Delicious Tuna Salad Recipes | Chris Cooks

I'll be the first to admit that tuna salad might not be everybody's jam. I get it. But if you don't like tuna salad, it's possible you've only eaten a subpar mix with basic mayo, possibly some mustard, and a bit of pickle (if you're lucky). All I'm saying is, don't knock it 'til you've […]
