It’s time to infuse your bourbon for the holidays.
If you want these to be ready for holiday gifting or sipping, start now — these infusions need time to develop their flavors.
I know, I know — it feels early. But give them about six weeks and you’ll be incredibly glad you did.
Also, I love you.
Happy Saturday! This week on the blog I launched two new series. Every Sunday I’ll post a new “What To Eat This Week” roundup and later that evening share a peek at a week in our life. I’m so excited you’re enjoying them! Earlier in the week I shared a few favorite recipes: French onion–stuffed … Read more
Can we have a party? No, seriously — we should have a party. Because we need to drink these little shakes together. It might be the only time it’s acceptable to do shots in the invisible internet friend world. (Maybe not, but go with it.) If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen … Read more

This is a seriously melt-in-your-mouth cookie. For our third cookie feature of the month at Better Homes and Gardens, the star is unmistakably brown butter. Not surprising if you know me: when there’s butter around, I usually brown it first. It adds a deep, toasty flavor that completely transforms a simple sugar cookie. For these … Read more
What better way to celebrate my Irish roots than with chocolate and Irish cream? In cookie form, of course. With a beverage on the side. At least it’s not green beer. Bad memories. I shiver at the thought. This is one of the only ways I’ll drink coffee. Okay, I’ll drink it like this too—dunked … Read more

It sounds surprising, but it’s real, delicious, and absolutely worth making for dinner tonight. We are obsessed with arancini here.
