Happy Saturday! This week on the blog I shared a peach pistachio puff pastry tart, along with pepperoni pizza lasagna roll-ups, a peach, tomato and corn salad with crispy quinoa, and a collection of favorite back-to-school dinners. I also published a new Summer Fridays post reviewing favorites from the season. You can find the new … Read more

You look like you need an end-of-summer slushie. Lucky for you, I made one: a coconut limeade cooler. It’s frosty, bright with lime, and perfectly refreshing for the unofficial end-of-summer long weekend. Think of this as a slushie crossed with a frozen, nonalcoholic margarita — intensely limey with a creamy coconut finish. Use homemade limeade … Read more

Happy Birthday to my brother, Will, who turns 25 today. I’m celebrating Will’s 25th birthday today and wanted to share a little note to mark the occasion.

All praise to the best flavor combination in the universe! I firmly believe chocolate and peanut butter can fix just about anything — at least they fix my problems. These cookies are embarrassingly easy, taste like heaven, and make the perfect late-night snack. And the secret ingredient? Cereal. Yes — cereal. Before you unfriend me, … Read more

Holy freaking flavor. I just put bacon and eggs in your ramen! I don’t even know what else to say. I’ve officially found my new favorite comfort food. The best part is how quickly this comes together—you won’t be spending hours like you might with mac and cheese or pot roast. This delicious bowl takes … Read more

Ugh. I’m really sorry to do this to you. Truly. You probably had plans tonight: maybe watching a few episodes of Friends, snacking on crackers, cheese and wine, and putting off chores like laundry or cleaning the bathroom. Especially if you’re anything like me. Cancel those plans. Because you’re going to make fudge. I’m not … Read more
