This week on Knead for Reality, we’re catching you up on everything—from real-life chaos to reality TV chaos. Clara recaps her latest dates (because she's our Bachelorette), while Amber fills us in on peak DC spring vibes, cherry blossoms, and her honest thoughts on Project Hail Mary.

Then we dive headfirst into the ever-escalating Secret Lives of Mormon Wives drama—Jessi Draper’s explosive divorce details, restraining order headlines, and the latest on Taylor Frankie Paul’s ongoing legal issues that have reportedly paused Season 5 filming. Plus, we break down what this means for the future of the franchise… including a very interesting Orange County spinoff.

We also introduce a new reality show you’re about to be obsessed with: Love Overboard—think yachts, power couples, and literal walk-the-plank eliminations.

To match the Malta setting, we bake simple but luxurious Maltese almond cookies—gluten-free, dairy-free, and dangerously easy.

Welcome to the very first episode of Knead for Reality!

We’re Amber & Clara—best friends who met at WVU but became inseparable over Monday night dinners, The Bachelorette, and way too many strong opinions. So naturally… we started a podcast.

In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into:

• The chaos surrounding Secret Lives of Mormon Wives (Taylor Frankie Paul… we need to talk)
• The shocking cancellation of The Bachelorette Season 22
• New reality TV we’re already obsessed with (Love Overboard, RHORI, The Valley)
• And of course we share a recipe for a timeless golden cake with chocolate icing to bring to your next watch party

Think of this as your weekly dose of reality TV drama + something sweet to go with it.
