hosting a butter-themed dinner party this week so come do dinner party prep with me cuz I have 500 things to do!!! ✨🧈🎉 (the full menu + all recipes will be up on my substack next week so you better subscribe if you want them! kiss kiss 💌 )

my new hyperfixation is these super crispy + cheesy parmesan sweet potatoes 🍠 PLZ MAKE THEM! • 4 small sweet potatoes, cut in half lengthwise • 2 tbsp olive oil • 1/2 tsp garlic powder • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning or other spice blend • 1/2 cup finely shredded parmesan cheese • fresh herbs for topping, if desired (I used chives + oregano) • olive oil or chili oil to finish (I used @wearebrightland pizza oil and it was fab!) preheat your oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment. place your sweet potatoes in a bowl and add the olive oil, garlic powder, spice mix and some salt + pepper. mix until sweet potatoes are well coated. sprinkle parmesan cheese onto your baking sheet and spread so that it’s evenly coated. place sweet potatoes cut-side down on top of the parmesan. bake for 30-40 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender and the bottom layer of cheese is crispy and deeply browned. remove, let cool + serve topped with herbs and oil!

euro summer WHO 🍝

aka my absolute perfect coffee (iced salted honey pistachio flat white to be exact) recipe ☕️🧸✨🧋

let's make buffalo salmon + sweet potato bowls with homemade ranch! 💥🍠🌿 I'm always looking for new ways to make my viral salmon bites (because I truly won't eat salmon any other way) and this buffalo version is next level good. we've got charred salmon chunks coated in buffalo sauce, roasted sweet potatoes with olive oil + @mortonsalt pink salt and a homemade, herby Greek yogurt ranch slaw. the key to this meal is seasoning everything well with Morton Fine Himalayan Pink Salt, which brings out all the flavor and makes each element of this dish shine. a simple, healthy + delicious weeknight dinner that's perfect for the end of summer! #ad the full recipe will go out this week on my substack ❤️‍🔥 ENJOY!

if you go on a spontaneous day trip to Ojai I can ASSURE you that you won’t regret it 🧚‍♀️⛰️🍦❤️‍🔥

let’s make spicy peanut noodles with smashed cucumber salad + sticky garlic chicken! 🥒🧄🍜 the key ingredient for perfect seasoning is @mortonsalt Pink Himalayan Fine Salt #ad peanut noodles are one of my all-time fave weeknight meals - they're quick, SO delicious and an easy way to get your veggies + protein in. for this version, we make a smashed cucumber salad that gets seasoned with Morton Himalayan pink salt, rice vinegar and sesame oil, plus a sticky garlic chicken mixture to throw on top. the freshness of the cucumber salad goes perfectly with the spicy, creamy noodles and it's basically my dream (protein-packed) dinner. recipe is on my substack and I hope you love it as much as I do ❤️‍🔥

the way this salted tahini honeycomb iced latte has a chokehold on me 🍯☕️ I tried this latte from Maman when I was in Miami last month and couldn’t get enough. it’s sweet, salty, creamy and genuinely the perfect balance of all the flavors I love 😩 I basically got one every day so obviously had to recreate at home!!! the full recipe will go out on my s🙂bstack so make sure you’re subscribed 💌

I love my little house so much 🥹🕯️✨🧚‍♀️☁️🫶 #homedecor #livingroominspo #midcenturymodern

let's make the perfect summer pasta salad!!! 🥬🍅 when I make pasta salad I want it to be a SALAD full of fresh, crunchy veg with a bit of pasta thrown in there, and this herby feta + broccoli pasta salad is exactly what I mean. we've got gem lettuce, roasted broccoli, castelvetrano olives, fresh summer tomatoes and a bright dressing made with parsley, basil, olive oil, champagne vinegar and @mortonsalt Himalayan Pink Salt. we use this salt both on the broccoli and in the dressing because it brings all the flavours to life here, and making sure your pasta salad is properly seasoned is KEY! I am truly obsessed and this salad makes the ideal companion for grilled meats at your summer barbecues + parties! the full recipe is on my s🙂bstack so make sure you're subscribed xo #pastasalad

I am officially on board for tiramisu but ONLY if it’s this biscoff brownie tiramisu 😌☁️🍫☕️ I saw @Liv make BROWNIE-MISU (genius work) and knew I had to try it immediately using our @Stellar Eats Fudge Brownie mix!!! I also swapped the ladyfingers for Biscoff cookies because I prefer their flavour and texture and y’all….this turned out phenomenal ✨ it is by no means traditional but it is extremely delicious and you should absolutely make it if you, too, are a tiramisu skeptic! RECIPE: • 1 batch Stellar Eats brownies, baked in a square pan and cut in half down the centre • 4oz mascarpone cheese • 1/4 cup cookie butter spread • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled • 2 tbsp maple syrup • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste • flakey sea salt • 1 sleeve Biscoff cookies • 1 cup strong brewed coffee • cocoa powder for topping Add mascarpone + cookie butter to a large bowl and whip with an electric beater for 1 minute until creamy. Add cold whipping cream, maple syrup, vanilla and a big pinch of sea salt and whip on medium speed for 1-2 minutes until stiff peaks form. When ready to assemble, line a loaf pan and place your brownie sheet half at the bottom. Dip biscoff cookies for just 1-2 seconds in coffee and layer evenly on top of brownies. Spread a layer of biscoff cream evenly on top, then add your second brownie layer and repeat the process (dipped cookies, then a layer of cream). Finish with 1 final layer of dipped cookies. Cover and chill overnight. When ready to serve, flip it over and top with extra piped cream if desired and a dusting of cocoa. ENJOY! ❤️‍🔥

breakfast plates 4 life 🍓🧈🍳🌿🧀

I MOVED for the sixth (yes sixth!!!!) time since coming to LA over 2 years ago 🫠 I definitely thought I would be in my previous place for longer, but other plans were in store for me and it feels like it was all meant to be because I signed a lease on my dream house!!! 🏡 @Roadway Moving came to the rescue which made the BIGGEST difference in making this transition smooth + stress-free. they were so quick + professional - I have a LOT of kitchen stuff and they helped me with packing it all up, plus they even stopped by another location so I could pick up a couch 🥲 if you have a move coming up and want to get a discount with Roadway, use my code KULAS10! so much NEW HOUSE CONTENT coming soon + I can’t wait to show you everything 🥹

sesame brown butter chocolate chunk cookies!!! these might be my new fave 🥲🍪 the secret ingredients in this cookie are tahini + brown butter for a delicious, subtle sesame flavour and chewy texture. they have those crispy edges that we all love in a cookie, plus they’re gluten free and only require oat flour which is a relatively cheap + accessible gluten free flour so that’s a huge win imo. they’re perfect!!! you’ll need: • butter • tahini • egg • vanilla extract • oat flour (you can grind up rolled oats very finely in a blender!) • baking soda • chocolate chunks/chips • sesame seeds the full recipe is on my substack so make sure you’re subscribed bbs 💌 ENJOY!

HOMEMADE TRU FRU (but possibly even better) 🍒🧚‍♀️🍫 these little frozen fruit + chocolate snacks are so genius but they’re also like $8 a bag so I figured it was time to make them myself 🙂‍↕️ I decided to level up my copycat tru fru raspberries with my favourite combo of all time (chocolate + peanut butter) and I was NOT disappointed!!! these are the perfect cold, crunchy, sweet n salty summer treat that also happens to have some fibre and be kinda healthy 🫶 full recipe is on my substack honeyyyy 💌

it’s giving simulation (I’ll probably never get over this)

like genuinely how did this happen?

join me for my first time EVER cooking steak at home!!! yes you heard that right - I didn't eat red meat for most of my life but I've been slowly dipping my toes in and I fear I'm now officially becoming a ~steak girl~. steak bites are an easy place to start if you, too, are intimidated by cooking it, so let's make garlic butter steak bite bowls! this is a perfect example of how proper seasoning + simple, high-quality ingredients are all you need to make a fabulous meal. we make juicy, garlicky steak bites, roasted japanese sweet potatoes, a simple arugula salad + homemade chimichurri, seasoning each component with @mortonsalt Pink Himalayan Salt for the perfect flavour. I will be making this simple but delicious dinner on repeat and you should too! the full recipe will go out in my substack newsletter so make sure you’re subscribed 💌 ENJOY!

WHAT I ATE THIS DAY! 🍞🫛✨🥗 I don’t usually do “what I eat on a day” videos BUT my friend was visiting and we had a really fun + delicious + balanced day of eating so I wanted to show you! also wanted to put my brand new @Revolution Cooking toaster to good use because this is literally the coolest toaster ever — it connects to wifi so you get to see the time, the weather, and even photos that you can upload! AND it gives you a perfect even browning on your toast every time so we love that 💅 DEETS: • breakfast: whipped feta toast with snap pea salad, pickled shallots + pistachios (huge slay) • lunch: the @saratane x Alfalfa collab salad and it was 10/10 • snack: sweet n salty toast — one with almond butter + sautéed cinnamon plums, the other with butter, scrambled eggs + fresh herbs • dinner: went to one of my fave restaurants! we got tuna crudo, steak frites + a few other things (🍸) LMK if you want to see more of these!!! xx #whatieatinaday #fulldayofeating #ad

let’s make a miso chicken caesar wrap!!! I saw a video of a new spot in Beverly Hills that makes an iconic chicken caesar wrap but unfortunately I don’t want to drive all the way there so we’re doing the next best thing + recreating it at home 🤝 the creamy caesar dressing is made with tahini, miso, lemon, garlic and @mortonsalt (which is a staple ingredient in my kitchen for making everything taste incredible). we use this dressing on the chicken AND in the wrap for ultimate flavour! chop up the chicken, kale, romaine and chives, top with garlicky breadcrumbs, wrap it, grill it and enjoy! the best lunch EVER 🌯 the full recipe will be on my substack so make sure you’re subscribed to get it! ✨

let’s make a crispy buffalo chicken + sweet potato bowl with homemade ranch!!! 💥🌿 featuring my friend @Saratane’s KELP RANCH seasoning which is next level fabulous.
