Happy Spooky Season, my fellow gear head and food friend. In case you're unfamiliar, Mason’s Must-Haves is a monthly email about my favorite foods, ingredients, cooking gear, or food-related content from the past month. This is the third edition of this email series, and it's the first time I find myself adding a "nice-to-have" tag on a couple things. I don't want this series to come across as me telling you to go out and buy all these things, particularly the more expensive gear. It's more...

Hey there, my fellow minimalist cook. This is Mason, from Kinda Healthy Recipes. What are some of the challenges you usually face when it’s time to cook? #1. The recipes that come to mind or that you find online require a ton of ingredients you don’t have. #2. You don’t have much time to prep and cook. To help you out in those situations, I created a list of recipes that require 5 ingredients or less. Keep this bookmarked for the next time you’re pressed for time or there isn’t much to choose...

To celebrate this holiday, I’ve put together a list of my...

Hey there, friend. This is Mason from Kinda Healthy Recipes. You know the drill – life can get hectic, and when we’re short of time, we tend to neglect our meals.

To help you navigate the hectic times, I’ve put together a list of my favorite recipes that you can prepare in 30 minutes or less. And let me emphasize...

Hey friend, Mason from Kinda Healthy Recipes here. I know you’re super busy, so I’ll make this email short and to the point. Can you believe 2023 will be over soon? I usually like to save the “best of” emails for the end of the year, but I couldn’t help myself. In this email, I’ve included five recipes that I’m really proud of (and that might be a little underappreciated). But if there’s anyone who appreciates a good recipe, I think it’s you. My Best Protein Mac and Cheese In my seven years...
