Brunch With Babs: The Internet’s Favorite Grandma Shares Her Kitchen Secrets

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the world seemed bleak and uncertain, one bright spot emerged on social media: Brunch With Babs, also known as Barbara Costello, the internet’s favorite grandma. With her comforting smile, delectable recipes, and wise advice, she quickly became a beacon of positivity for millions of followers on Instagram and TikTok.

Recently, I had the privilege of meeting Brunch With Babs in person at QVC’s Q50 Summit, a groundbreaking event that celebrated women over the age of 50 and the endless possibilities that come with aging. Costello, who was one of the 50 incredible women honored at the summit, expressed her gratitude for being included in such a transformative experience.

“I’m so honored to have been included,” Costello said. “I can attest that it is an age of possibilities, because I would have thought this would be impossible a few years ago.”

During our conversation, I couldn’t resist asking Brunch With Babs the burning question on everyone’s mind: What is the one kitchen appliance she uses every day and believes everyone should own? As someone who has watched her create mouthwatering dishes for years, I was eager to learn her secret.

“I cannot bake without my kitchen scale,” Costello revealed. “Even when making meatballs, I use my kitchen scale to ensure they are all the same size. I’ve gone through so many scales over the years, I can’t even count.”

Costello’s reliance on a kitchen scale may come as a surprise to many, but it’s clear that this simple tool plays a crucial role in her culinary creations. From perfectly portioned meatballs to flawlessly baked pastries, the kitchen scale ensures consistency and precision in every dish she prepares.

As I listened to Costello share her kitchen secrets, I couldn’t help but feel inspired to channel my inner Brunch With Babs in the kitchen. With her recommendation in mind, I made a mental note to invest in a kitchen scale of my own, so I could recreate her signature dishes with the same level of finesse and attention to detail.

Whether you’re a seasoned home chef or a novice in the kitchen, Costello’s advice serves as a reminder that sometimes the simplest tools can make a world of difference in your cooking. So, the next time you’re whipping up a batch of cookies or crafting a savory stew, consider adding a kitchen scale to your culinary arsenal—it just might be the key to unlocking your inner chef.

As I bid farewell to Brunch With Babs and reflected on our conversation, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to meet such a warm and inspiring individual. In a world filled with uncertainty and chaos, Costello’s presence serves as a reminder that positivity, kindness, and a good meal can truly make a difference.

So, here’s to Brunch With Babs, the internet’s favorite grandma, and her timeless wisdom that continues to brighten the lives of millions around the world. May her recipes bring joy to your kitchen and her spirit uplift your soul, one meal at a time.
