My sister moved to Hawaii…so I made buffalo chicken crunch bowls to lure her back. 😜
Drop “EAT” below and I’ll send the recipe! 🙌
She’s a buffalo chicken superfan, so I tested this recipe over and over before she came to visit. After one bite she said, “This is the best thing I’ve ever eaten. I could eat this every single day.” Spicy, creamy, crunchy, fresh, and so good for dinner or lunch meal prep! 🥳

Ever since this became official, I’ve caught myself randomly thinking, “Wait… I’m going to London.”
I’ll be unloading the dishwasher, driving carpool, testing recipes, and then it hits me all over again. 😂
This opportunity feels exciting, intimidating, surreal, and completely worth stepping outside my comfort zone for. I’m so grateful for this chance, and I can’t wait to share all about it with you!
If you want to get the full story, I shared it on my Substack today.

The salad I want in my fridge all summer long! ☀️
Comment “EAT” below & I’ll send you the recipe ❤️
You guys know I love a good salad, and once warm weather hits, it’s basically all I want.
This Jennifer Aniston Salad is fresh, filling, and loaded with couscous, chickpeas, cucumber, herbs, pistachios, feta, and the best lemony dressing. I turned it into a meal prep version that stores SO well, which means lunch is ready to go for days!
To meal prep, portion the salad into containers and store the dressing separately. When you’re ready to eat, pour the dressing right into the container, add the lid, and shake it all together. You can also keep the pistachios separate if you want them to stay nice and crunchy.

This Chopped Italian Sandwich is loaded with chopped cold cuts, provolone, crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, pickles, banana peppers, and the best Italian dressing. Everything gets chopped together, piled into a toasted hoagie, and it is seriously SO good.

This crepe bar was such a fun meal to pack for a new mom and her family. I added crepes, fruit, toppings, mini muffins, breakfast potatoes, and quiche so everyone had plenty to choose from. It’s kid-friendly, easy to snack on, and works at any time of day.
And quick note: this is meant to be inspo, not pressure at all! Bring one thing, bring a few things, or just use the idea for your own family. XOXO, Chelsea

I lived on these açaí bowls for breakfast for an entire year and truly NEVER got tired of them. 😇
To get the recipe, drop “EAT” below! ⬇️
This homemade açaí bowl is thick, cold, creamy, and loaded with all the best toppings.
I blend frozen açaí with frozen fruit until it’s spoonable, then pile on fresh fruit, crunchy granola, and a drizzle of honey and nut butter It’s the kind of breakfast that feels like summer in a bowl, and once you start making them at home, it’s hard to go back to buying them!

The potato salad my sister’s family & friends could not stop talking about 🥰
For the recipe, just drop “EAT” below ⬇️
I’ve been working on this Loaded Potato Salad since March, if you can believe it. I usually work pretty far ahead to make sure every recipe is just right 🥰
When my sister texted asking what she should bring to a potluck, I sent her the draft for this recipe. Later that night, the texts started rolling in, and my favorite review was: “I’ve had a lot of potato salads in my life, and this is the best.” 🎉🎉

My mom’s famous mini meatloaves just got turned into a full sheet pan dinner 🎉
To get the recipe, drop “EAT” below! ⬇️
Welcome back to Mom’s Greatest Hits, where I share the recipes that raised me. My mom made mini meatloaves all the time growing up, and I’m pretty sure she never made one big meatloaf. It was always minis, and I loved them so much.
So I turned her mini meatloaves into a full sheet pan dinner with potatoes and green beans. Everything cooks together on one pan, and it’s simple, filling, family-friendly, and SO GOOD! 😊

I don’t think I could ever get sick of chicken with these dishes. Almost every week, I make a batch of the chicken thighs, and that bang bang chicken sauce is one of THE best things I’ve eaten.

Welcome back to Mom’s Greatest Hits, where I share the recipes that raised me. My mom didn’t make Cosmic Brownies from scratch, but she did buy them, and they were one of my favorite treats growing up.
This homemade version is thick, fudgy, topped with rich chocolate ganache, and finished with those classic crunchy rainbow sprinkles. Same nostalgic treat, but so much better! 🥳

This is the Utah dessert salad I grew up loving! 🥰
To get the recipe, drop “EAT” below ⬇️
My mom made Snickers Salad all the time growing up, and yes, it was served right alongside dinner. Calling it a salad is definitely a stretch, but here in Utah, this is just how it’s done (or at least at my home, haha!)!
This easy Snickers Salad recipe is made with vanilla pudding, whipped topping, crisp apples, and chopped Snickers. It’s creamy, crunchy, sweet, and the easiest no-bake dessert for potlucks, parties, BBQs, holidays, etc!

My mom’s most iconic summer dessert was basically ice cream bread, and I still think it’s so genius! 🤯
To get the recipe, drop ‘EAT’ below ⬇️
Welcome back to Mom’s Greatest Hits, where I share the recipes that raised me. This Spumoni dessert was the one my mom was known for every summer!
She’d layer different ice cream flavors in a bread pan, freeze it, then slice it like bread. It’s cold, creamy, so pretty when sliced, and unbelievably good for how simple it is to make!
