Extra Credit Chicken Melt Buns 🍗🧀

A quick weeknight dinner that understood the assignment — toasted buns, creamy Parmesan ranch chicken, and mozzarella melted right in. Simple, cheesy, and definitely worth the extra credit. 👩‍🍳📚

It’s officially been 2 months of The Academic Apron! 🎉👩‍🍳📚

And what better way to celebrate than with homemade bread — Wonder Bread on the left and gluten-free bread on the right, both made by me. 🍞❤️

Two months of learning, baking, cooking through chaos, making memories, and growing this little kitchen journey one recipe at a time.

And now that I can finally go live, you already know the kitchen chaos is about to get even better. Stay tuned! 👀

Degrees in one hand, dinner in the other. 🍽️📚

How my 30th birthday started vs. how it ended 🤣🎉

Started cute, ended chaotic, and somehow that feels exactly right for Academic Apron energy. Thank you all for the birthday love — 30 is already giving me a story to tell 😂❤️
