Are you seeing a pattern here? I’m a little bit obsessed with cheesecake. I can’t get enough cheesecake-inspired treats. I want all the cheesecake things—especially the indulgent, over-the-top versions. They’re very much my style. This is a cheesecake-like baked oatmeal. I’m not literally putting cheesecake into the oats, but the texture and flavor are very … Read more
{via} This week was a doozy. I came back from vacation feeling a little blue, even though part of me was ready to be home and get back into the routine. As usual, I didn’t give myself a gradual re-entry— I filled my schedule and ended up producing a ton of work in a short … Read more
As if we need a once-every-four-year excuse to enjoy a cocktail.
But it’s a fun excuse nonetheless — worth celebrating.
Yesterday I dug up what I made on February 29, 2012: white bean gratin.
Delicious, yes. But a little too tame for leap day.
Glad my priorities are clearer four years later.
It’s officially soup season — and that means chicken tortellini soup season. For me, soup is a year-round comfort, but there’s something about cooler weather that makes it more acceptable — and more craveable. This chicken tortellini version is the kind of soup that feels like it simmered all day, even when you make it … Read more
I’m at a loss for words. I’ve tried writing this post several ways and nothing felt right. I drafted a short rhyme and tried different anecdotes — from my husband mistaking almond M&Ms for peanuts to a weekend of indulgences that included a milkshake, a chocolate chipwich, Godiva cheesecake and lobster mac and cheese. All … Read more
Happy Saturday! It’s hard to believe we’re already more than halfway through January. These are my least favorite months, so I’m especially glad the weekend is here. This week on the blog I shared chicken verde soup with salted yogurt, a crispy chickpea chopped salad and a broccoli lemon carbonara that is seriously delicious. I … Read more
Let’s talk egg secrets. I love eggs. I eat them almost every day—scrambled with sautéed mushrooms and garlic, hard-boiled and sliced on hummus toast, or poached over roasted asparagus to make sure I get some vegetables. When I post fried-eggs recipes—whether on a breakfast hash (I’m obsessed: quinoa hash, day-after-Thanksgiving hash, grilled corn summer hash, … Read more
Happy summer Friday! Here’s what I’m up to this weekend and a few favorites to try if you’re looking for easy summer inspiration. EATING I’ll be making my parm chicken meatballs with tomato orzo, Mediterranean beef bowls, and these lettuce-wrap cheeseburgers that are surprisingly addictive. These recipes are simple, come together quickly, and are great … Read more
My Thanksgiving timeline is the secret to a smooth, enjoyable holiday meal. I come prepared so the day feels fun instead of frantic. I love making a big, comforting spread for family and friends.
Over the years I’ve posted this Thanksgiving timeline many times because it works. On the day I follow it closely, and it keeps everything organized and under control.
I stick to our best classics — my family prefers the traditional dishes on Thanksgiving. I don’t change the menu much, and now that I have kids, planning ahead is essential. Being organized lets me actually enjoy the day while cooking a big meal for everyone.
If you need kitchen gear, I have a post with my Thanksgiving essentials you might find helpful.
You all — today marks exactly one year since Seriously Delish was released. Three hundred sixty-five days. Hundreds of thousands of minutes. I can hardly believe a whole year has passed. I can’t thank you enough for giving me the chance to write this book. Touring, meeting so many of you, and connecting in kitchens … Read more
