Stop buying lemon curd🍋 Homemade takes 10 minutes Stop buying lemon curd🍋 Homemade takes 10 minutes to cook and tastes like sunshine. It sounds fancy, but homemade lemon curd is just lemons, sugar, eggs, and butter whisked together for about 10 minutes then chilled in the fridge until set. That’s it. The result? A jar of bright, velvety lemon curd that instantly makes toast, yogurt, pancakes, or cake taste like spring. It’s tangy, sweet, and one of those recipes that makes you feel like you know what you’re doing in the kitchen. Tag a friend who always buys lemon curd at the store. They need to see how easy this is to make at home. What would you eat with lemon curd first? Full recipe up on our website!
Unpopular opinion: peas don’t belong in shepherd’s Unpopular opinion: peas don’t belong in shepherd’s pie (because they’re gross). We said what we said. Instead, we use cabbage cooked down with ground beef, carrots, and onions in a rich savory gravy, then top it all with creamy mashed potatoes and grated parm. It’s cozy. It’s hearty. It’s weeknight-friendly. Are you Team Peas or No Peas? Tell us below ⬇️ And save this for St. Patrick’s Day or your next cold night dinner (full recipe on our blog).

If one of these catches your eye, tell us which one and we’ll let you know if the recipe’s live (or if it needs to be!). We’re always cooking. Even when the tripod’s not out. It's our happy place!

This is us: Cooking with Conks. Two sisters (not t This is us: Cooking with Conks. Two sisters (not twins), always distracted by dogs, and very serious about good food. We started as young kitchen helpers and turned into recipe creators who post about food we actually eat. If we say “it’s easy,” it’s because we’ve tested it, rewritten it, and of course over-explained the important parts. We share bright, California-inspired recipes with clear, step-by-step guidance so you don’t have to guess your way through dinner. If you want bold flavor, approachable recipes, and two slightly nerdy sisters who care a lot about good food, tap follow and cook with us. We’re glad you’re here!
