Over the last couple years, I've amassed a truly absurd amount of muffin pans . I just set aside two or three to donate, but I have another three still sitting in my pantry.

As someone who tests and writes about kitchen products for a living, I have tried my fair share of cookware. The pans I turn to daily in my kitchen?

If you're like me, then your brain is still swirling about New Year's resolutions and the fact that it's now 2025.

It's never a bad thing to have a little more space — especially in your kitchen. Living in New York City, I have become quite used to doing everyday

Where I live, it is intensely cold. And that means my apartment is far chillier than I'd like it to be. So to help remedy that, I really lean into cozy cooking this time of year.

Some of the items I use most in my kitchen were things I originally thought I didn't need. Take, for instance, custard cups.

By the end of 2024, my ordering out reached an all-time high. So one of the goals I made for 2025 was to cook at home more — to both save money and fall back in love with cooking.

When my fiancé and I decided to move in together a few years ago, we ended up combining most of our stuff, from furniture to kitchen gear.

This is the time of year when I'm really trying to be budget-conscious. I'm dialing back on ordering takeout (a serious feat for me), and I've stopped buying a fancy latte every day I'm in the office.

A pastime that I love (but am not incredibly proud of) is scrolling on TikTok for hours at a time.
