This shortcut peach crisp is the perfect solution for a weeknight dessert. With peaches and a simple crisp topping, it’s a deliciously different take on fruit crisp that comes together in a jiffy.

This tasty chicken souvlaki meal prep has been on repeat at my house. It’s delicious, fast and easy!

It’s summer, so I know you have some watermelon sitting in your fridge. Make this watermelon agua fresca, and I will guarantee that it will quench your thirst in this relentless summer heat.

On hot days like the ones we’ve been recently having, I have no desire to eat meals. Cooking heats up the kitchen and I just feel way to uncomfortable to sit down and enjoy a meal. Instead, I crave drinks…
