With the holiday season in full swing, this year I feel beyond ready to host family and friends for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. My obsession with Caraway Cookware all started when I was gifted two of their non-toxic, nonstick pans. It has been true love since. My cookware collection has grown from two pans to a full cookware set, a full bakeware set and my beloved Caraway tea kettle. I recently welcomed the cast iron set in color rust into our home and it is a staple on our kitchen countertop. If you are looking for the perfect cookware set or non-toxic cookware in general, let me show you what I have and why you’ll love Caraway, too!

Plus, right now Caraway is having their once-in-a-year savings event where you can get up to 20% off! It is the best time to add Caraway to your home or gift it to someone special this holiday season.

I recently shared my love for Caraway’s enameled cast iron set on YouTube. Check out the video below!

I’m convinced 2025 is going to be the year of the sourdough. From dipping your toes into your first sourdough starter to baking a sourdough loaf a week in a beautiful Dutch oven. Which leads me to the first thing on my Caraway Christmas gift guide – the Caraway cast iron Dutch oven!

Before the words “cast iron” scare you, let me explain why this cast iron Dutch oven takes the top spot on my gift guide. Caraway’s cast iron collection makes owning and using cast iron a dream! Caraway uses non-toxic, non-stick enameled cast iron so you won’t have to worry about that nasty rust on your beautiful cast iron cookware. Even if you aren’t making sourdough, this Dutch oven is perfect for roasting chicken or enjoying a hearty soup.

I’m notorious for ruining cast iron and I’m so happy to report that it will not happen with this set (thank you Caraway!).

If you saw my recent YouTube video,  you saw me use the next item on my list. Yes, it’s the Caraway cast iron grill pan. In the winters here in Utah, going outside to grill a steak isn’t always ideal. This grill pan makes cooking our steaks or any meat just as delicious as outside. And did I mention it’s non-stick? Makes for easy clean up too! I love the rust color in the cast iron collection. In person it is a beautiful warm hue that brings a coziness to your kitchen.

After I fell in love with my Caraway Cookware set, I knew I needed the bakeware set. Justin bought me this bakeware set for Mother’s Day last year. The bakeware set comes with 11 pieces which are also all ceramic coated, non-toxic and nonstick. In this set you’ll get two baking sheets (small & large), a 12 cup muffin pan, 9×13” rectangle pan, a cooling rack, 9” square pan, 1 pound loaf pan and two circle pans. An added bonus when you buy the entire bakeware set is that it also comes with two storage organizers to keep your kitchen and bakeware tidy.

My Caraway tea kettle is so beloved. I use this daily for my coffee. I make my coffee using a French press, so boiling water is necessary each morning. I look forward to using my Caraway tea kettle every day. It just adds a cozy element to my day. The tea kettle is also non-toxic and free of harmful chemicals. It has the cutest little whistle when the water comes to a boil. The tea kettle sits right on my stovetop almost serving as a decorative piece. I have the cream color from the classic line of tea kettles. It also comes with a square pot holder!

When October hits – I enter cozy mode. Whether it’s the decor in my home or cooking my favorite comfort food, I crave for all things cozy.

That was the theme I was going for in my 2024 Halloween porch decor, but with a touch of spooky. I was inspried by the Halloween vibes I grew up with (in the 90’s!) – fun, welcoming and innocence. In my latest video, I take you step by step as we decorate my porch with old and new Halloween finds.

Don’t forget to stick around until the end… we are cooking the creamiest, most mouth watering risotto you have ever had! And just in time for dinner, we had a cozy rain storm hit which made this warm dinner dish hit the spot. This is a family favorite meal and I’m sharing the entire recipe with you!

Risotto recipe: This only takes about 20 minutes to make 🙌🏻

Ingredients:

Chicken sausage (I used organic chicken apple sausage)

Cook chicken sausage in pan with oil for 8 minutes. Add Arborio rice and garlic to the pan. Add a little more olive oil and toast the rice for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, coconut milk, and seasonings. Bring the rice to a boil and then cover and reduce to a simmer.

Back-to-school is here, which is a time that I really lean on simple dinner recipes with Siete Foods! The Siete familia delighted me with some goodies to help make weeknight dinner recipes that much easier for me and my family.

As part of their Culinary Creators, I love creating recipes, cooking meals, and sharing what I create using their products! Here’s a family favorite in my household: Tostadas! Of course, I’m sharing the entire recipe with my blog family, too.

What you’ll need:

Siete’s Almond Flour Tortillas

Shredded chicken (you can even use rotisserie chicken)

One jar of Siete’s Red Enchilada sauce

One can of Siete’s Vegan Refried Pinto Beans

Chopped lettuce

Chopped tomato

Siete’s Botana sauce of your choice to top it all off (I used the traditional botana sauce)

To make your tostadas, place the desired amount of almond flour tortillas flat on a baking sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 10 minutes or until crispy. While that bakes, shred chicken and mix your red enchilada sauce with the chicken. Heat up your pinto beans so they are spreadable. While you wait for the tortillas to turn into tostadas, chop your lettuce and tomatoes and any other garnishes you want to add. The best part about tostadas – you can customize them. Even your pickiest eaters will find a tostada they love.
