    Ina Garten’s Homemade Marshmallows: Sticky, Delectable—Worth It?

    by Deborah Bass Published: May 19, 2026

    Have you ever made homemade marshmallows before?

    Eating homemade marshmallows versus store-bought marshmallows is like the difference between eating a sun-warmed tomato from your own garden and the pale grocery store version. Once your taste buds experience homemade, it becomes the only version that truly satisfies.

    And the best part? They’re surprisingly easy to make.

    Sticky, yes. Gooey, of course.

    Shockingly Simple

About Me

About Me

Hey, there. I'm Deborah~

Writer. Miner of meaning. Beautiful things seeker. I write about whatever sparks inspiration or brings joy—things that make my solar plexus twirl—travel, art, urban expeditions, and the human experience, as well as tougher topics like dark history. I don’t flinch from the hard stuff. Mostly, I love to open hearts and ignite emotion.

For Those Who’ve Asked

A small gesture to support this space 🌷

Why I Write

“One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.”

—Clarissa Pinkola Estés, author of Women Who Run With the Wolves
