🌰 How to Roast Chestnuts (and why you should try it!)


Hi Reader,

There’s something so cozy about roasting chestnuts at home.
The warm, nutty aroma, the gentle crackle in the oven... it just feels like Autumn every time I make them.

I love their sweet, buttery flavour (especially paired with warm melted butter and a pinch of salt!). They're a unique treat that I wish more people knew about.

If you’ve never tried roasting chestnuts before, I’ve got you covered with an easy-to-follow guide below. I'm also sharing my spiced hot chocolate recipe, because it pairs so well with chestnuts.

Also, I know it’s a bit early, but if you’re starting to think about your holiday menu, I’ve put together a free collection of my best holiday recipes.

A mushroom stuffed with melting brie cheese.

Someone taking a spoonful of creamy chicken pot pie soup out of a grey bowl on a black charger plate.

Hi Reader, It’s been such a grey and chilly week here, and I’ve been craving a warm bowl of soup. This chicken pot pie soup is one of my favourite things to make at this time of year. It's simple, cozy, and if I use a rotisserie chicken and frozen vegetables, there's very little prep work to do. If you've got leftover turkey from Thanksgiving this past week, you can absolutely make turkey pot pie soup with the same recipe. Just substitute the turkey for the chicken. I love serving this soup...

Three coconut shortbread cookies on a fancy white plate.

Hi Reader, At my house, holiday baking starts with a batch of shortbread. My mom loves to make shortbread for gifts, but we usually make a few early batches for ourselves to test out new flavours.

I’m also linking our new coconut shortbread cookies recipe, which just might be my favourite cookie of all time. I hope you try making it, it's delicious. Chocolate Shortbread Cookies...
