Making mornings better with all these cherry donuts. I’ve wanted to make these for years — and finally they’re here! Today unofficially (but also officially) feels like National Donut Day. Maybe Dunkin’ promoted it, but however it started, I’m all in. If you’ve followed our northern Michigan summer adventures, you know we wait all season … Read more
Don’t leave me! This smoothie is genuinely delicious — think avocado chocolate pudding without the chocolate. Sounds sad, but really it’s refreshingly green and light. It’s perfect for a green-themed breakfast on St. Patrick’s Day, when you want something other than salad, whiskey, potatoes or cereal. I first started adding avocados to smoothies years ago … Read more
This is so much better than that one time I dipped a leftover holiday milk chocolate bear into the peanut butter jar for breakfast.
The first decision I make each morning—half-asleep, phone in hand, scrolling through every social feed to catch up—is whether breakfast should be sweet or savory.
That is the question.
This peaches and cream baked oatmeal is a fresh take on a childhood favorite. It’s rich, comforting and slightly cake-like — made with plain Greek yogurt and maple syrup for a tender, flavorful breakfast that’s surprisingly easy to prepare. This is the perfect summer breakfast to enjoy all season long. This peaches and cream baked … Read more
It’s the most wonderful day of the year… if you want to see everything I completely messed up in 2016!
This is one of my favorite posts to write every year — I went back month by month and dug up things I’d completely forgotten. This year was rough. Maybe not as catastrophic as some years, but definitely full of memorable kitchen mishaps. I might even dedicate a post to cookbook recipe fails one day.
This is the seventh year I’m sharing my disasters, and oooooh, there have been some great ones. Here are the previous years I’ve documented:
2015
2014
2013
2012
2011
2010
Now, let’s look at the worst of the worst that came out of my kitchen this year.
This lemon tres leches cake is a bright, refreshing twist on a classic. Fresh lemon zest and a hint of extract lift the flavor of this indulgent, yet light and fluffy cake. It soaks up the milk mixture for an irresistibly moist finish. A perfect slice for your weekend treat. For this version of tres … Read more
I’m feeling surprisingly old today. Last night I watched my youngest cousin graduate from high school and I could not believe it — I was convinced I’d been on that side of life just five minutes ago, not twelve years. On the drive home I found myself listening to Delilah on the radio, which instantly … Read more
If I could choose one taco to eat forever, it would be a fish taco—every time, especially in summer and even more so at the beach. That’s where I am now, and somehow Monday feels infinitely better because of it. These fish taco bowls came together after a small kitchen crisis: I planned fish tacos, … Read more
Yes — I really typed that title. I’ve been bursting to share this news for a long time. In perhaps the most thrilling project I’ve ever taken on, I created exclusive recipes for Elin Hilderbrand’s newest novel, Here’s To Us, which is released today. This opportunity feels incredibly special to me — right up there … Read more
Wanna know a secret? My mom totally burned me out on buckeyes when I was a kid. She made them every Christmas for years — so many that I eventually made myself sick from eating peanut butter balls, stealing spoonfuls of melted chocolate, and hiding the finished treats in Tupperware out in the garage. You … Read more
