The EASIEST Pistachio Biscotti Recipe ☕🥜 Eve The EASIEST Pistachio Biscotti Recipe ☕🥜

Ever wondered how to make those fancy Italian cookies you see at the coffee shop? Turns out they're SO much easier than you think! 

These twice-baked pistachio biscotti are crunchy, nutty, and absolutely perfect for dunking into your morning coffee or afternoon espresso.

Here's why you'll love this recipe:
✨ Simple ingredients you probably already have
✨ Pistachios add the perfect nutty flavor
✨ They stay fresh all week (hello, meal prep!)
✨ Make amazing homemade gifts

The secret? They're baked twice - first as a log, then sliced and baked again for that signature crunch. The almond extract brings out the pistachio flavor beautifully, and trust me, once you try dunking these into your coffee, you'll never go back!

Want the full recipe? Comment BISCOTTI below and I'll send it straight to your DMs! 💌

When the weather turns gray and the air feels cris When the weather turns gray and the air feels crisp, I always find myself coming back to one thing: a big pot of homemade chicken and dumplings simmering away on the stove.

This cozy classic is everything you want in a comfort food recipe: tender shredded chicken, a rich and creamy chicken soup base, fluffy biscuit-style dumplings floating on top, and just the right amount of herbs to make every spoonful warm and flavorful.

It’s the kind of meal that fills the house with the smell of slow-cooked goodness and feels like a hug in a bowl. 🫕✨ Whether you’re serving it with crusty bread or enjoying it all on its own, this chicken and dumplings recipe is hearty, nostalgic, and unbelievably satisfying.

Would you serve yours extra creamy or keep it light and brothy? 🍽️

So I use dough, whipped in pumpkin puree and spice So I use dough, whipped in pumpkin puree and spices, piped in long star-shaped swirls, and fried them golden. 

These pumpkin churros are crunchy on the outside, tender inside, coated in cinnamon-sugar, and begging for a dip.

They’re the kind of treat that makes you pause, breathe the warmth of pumpkin spice, and say, “Yes, this is comfort.” 

Whether you serve them at a cozy brunch or as the dessert that steals the show, they’re fall in a bite.

Would you dunk yours in chocolate sauce, caramel, or enjoy it plain and warm right away?
