After five very successful seasons of Fixer Upper, Chip and Joanna Gaines have become a force in the home-renovation industry, responsible for introducing the word “shiplap” to even the least handy among us. The lovable banter between the two is infectious — not to mention the wow-worthy makeovers they pull off every episode. Our favorite part of each show? When the new kitchen gets revealed. It’s often the most dramatic change, when dated, well-worn cabinetry and blah tiles get swapped for a brand-new cooking space.

We love nearly every kitchen makeover on Fixer Upper, but we were able to narrow this list down to five of our favorites.

Just as we’ve all begun to get over the “Is a hotdog a sandwich?” debate (it is, according to Merriam Webster!), I now present you with a new kind of conundrum: Is this lettuce wrap a salad or a sandwich?

In North America, it’s easy to immerse yourself in the natural world. For those of you who love the great outdoors, you can relate to the feeling associated with being out in nature.

The Zercher squat—what is it? The exercise supposedly originated from, you guessed it, a man named Zercher. Ed Zercher was an American strongman active in the 1930’s and in his day was one of the strongest men in America. The story goes he had no access to a squat rack and used to pick the bar up from the ground, rest it in his arms, and squat.

Limited-time seasonal items are such a delicious tease. They make you fall in love with them, and just when you think you can’t live without them, they vanish and you’re left with nothing but memories and pumpkin spice-scented candles. Rude.

Trader Joe’s is one of the best there is at seasonal items. People stockpile Trader Joe’s cranberry sauce and butternut squash macaroni and cheese in their freezers like squirrels storing nuts for the winter, because they know they’ll disappear after just a couple months.

Migas are a breakfast favorite in every corner of Texas. I’ve taken the classic skillet migas and transformed them into a low-and-slow, cheesy migas casserole. Put on a pot of coffee, invite a few friends over, and enjoy this migas casserole for brunch.

All it takes is that first summer heatwave for me to banish the oven and remind me how much I adore my slow cooker. During the week I lean on it for easy, make-ahead suppers that won’t heat up the kitchen; come the weekend it’s the ticket to cookout and picnic favorites, like pulled pork and baked beans.

Here’s a scenario you’re probably familiar with if you’ve ever been to IKEA: You topple out of the store, exhausted and vaguely elated, stocked up on affordable furniture. You have a day of assembly ahead of you, complete with minimalist illustrated instructions and the inevitable moment where you nearly burst into tears because how can this seemingly straightforward table be so difficult to assemble?

Soon your home will be full, your muscles will be sore, and you’ll be in dire need of a treat. Take my advice: Before you leave Ikea, scour the grocery section for a Daim cake. Buy it, store it in the freezer, and transform it into the world’s best morning-after-IKEA breakfast.
