Karly’s Personal Favorite:

I’m not sure my personal favorite has ever made it into the top 10 list, but this year I have to admit – Those One Potatoes are probably my favorite recipe of the year. I make them about once a week, everyone goes crazy for them, and they even went viral on TikTok.

Jalapeno burger on bun on wooden cutting board with fries.

But!! A very (very) close second is my Jalapeno Popper Smashburger recipe.

Crispy edges, juicy centers, and a creamy, spicy popper topping. Then we coat the inside of the bun with crispy crumbled bacon for maximum yum.

These burgers were on repeat over the summer and I can’t wait for grilling season to get here again.

Thank You!

Forgive me, but I get a little mushy and emotional this time every year. Looking back at what was shared by all of you, how you supported my business through our combined love of food, and just how you show up here and trust me to help you feed your family – it really is such an honor and I’m grateful for it every day.

This year was especially hard as the internet has changed in ways we’ve never seen before, with a lot of AI garbage taking over.

It means the world to me when you skip the AI slop recipes that have never been tested by a human and instead come here, to my little website, where you know that I’ve actually cooked the food (sometimes too many times to count) to ensure that you’ll end up with a good result in your own kitchen.

I don’t know what is coming down the pipeline for the internet as a whole, but I do know that things are changing and I hope to weather the storm with you.

Thank you for being here, always.
