Happy Halloweener! Before we get into the recipe, a little confessional: I ate three of these crispy tortillas before I even finished assembling the meal. No shame. They’re that good. I’m also currently nostalgic for late-90s style — think metallic leopard and small-shouldered tops — but let’s be honest, that outfit doesn’t pair well with … Read more

Sometimes I can go a little overboard. I know that may be a shock. A couple of weeks ago I bought enough watermelon and cantaloupe to feed a small country. Or at least enough to feed Mr. How Sweet. Then he went out of town and didn’t touch it. He probably feels about melon the … Read more

Hello everyone! I wanted to send a quick reminder that this Saturday, April 22, there’s a special meetup happening at MacKenzie-Childs from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. I’ll be there signing copies of my cookbook, Seriously Delish, and the store is offering 20% off all flower enamel and courtly check cookware. It’s a great chance … Read more

Say that three times fast! I’m always hunting for a salad that’s anything but boring — enter the strawberry salmon panzanella.

Chocolate chip skillet cookie, coming in hot for the weekend! This is exactly what I want on a chilly winter weekend — especially when Valentine’s Day is in the mix. A skillet-sized chocolate chip cookie bigger than my face! Chewy dough, melty chocolate, and a sprinkle of flaky salt on top. And, of course… ice … Read more

My whole family can’t get enough of these crispy lemon chicken bites. Paired with a light, herb-filled lemon spaghetti, this dinner is cozy, refreshing, and deeply satisfying—an ideal weeknight meal. We’re making a simple Monday night dinner that everyone will love. This is one of those recipes my kids go crazy for: crisp lemon chicken, … Read more

Definitely trying to brighten winter with this lemon spaghetti squash! Okay — after this, I promise I’ll give the lemons a break. Lately the kitchen has been lemon-heavy because citrus is at its peak and everything tastes incredible right now. It’s felt like one giant lemon bar month, in the best way. I’m finishing work … Read more

This one time… I wanted to faceplant into breakfast. You might remember earlier this year when I got a little obsessed with making my own açaí bowls. Full disclosure: I’d barely ever eaten one from a café, but I started blending my own at home and posting photos on Instagram. I included them in my … Read more
