English Pea and Parsley Dip
I still remember the first time I ate fresh peas, right from the garden. I can’t tell you how old I was but I can tell you that I was young enough to run barefoot through the grass, climb trees, and play make believe; young enough that I had never stopped to consider where food…

Weekends are for comfort food. The made-from-scratch kind, steeped with the flavors of fresh, green herbs and slow-roasted garlic.

Better Than Mashed Potatoes: Garlic-Thyme Hasselback Potatoes
Dear Mashed Potatoes, We’ve been together for a long time now. You’ve stayed with me through the good times as well as the bad — from Thanksgiving dinners to food fights — and you’ve comforted me in ways that only a big bowl of starchy carbs can. But, I’m older now — and more experienced.…

How To Make Crispy Za’atar Kale Chips
We’ve created a new way to measure deliciousness in my house — I like to call it the ‘taste-test-then-face-test’ method (say that ten times fast)— and it works like this: I make something healthy to eat. I recruit an unsuspecting friend or family member. The unsuspecting friend or family member eats the healthy food. I observe…

A Tasty Reason to Eat with the Seasons: Pumpkin Pie Granola
Ok, I’ll admit it — I’m one of those people. You know, the people that go completely pumpkin-crazy from the beginning of fall until the first sign of gingerbread? I put pumpkin into everything from brioche dough to pasta sauce, reveling meal after meal in its’ sweet and savory goodness. I can’t help but wonder…

Crispy graham crackers. Melty milk chocolate. A perfectly roasted, warm, gooey marshmallow. What could be better than a good, old-fashioned, campfire s’more?

How to Make Cold Brew Iced Coffee at Home
I’m just going to come out and say what we’re all thinking: cold brew coffee is worth the extra money — except that it isn’t. Cold brew coffee is infinitely more delicious than coffee that’s been brewed with hot water and then poured over ice (In fact, that’s how it got the nickname ‘nectar of…

Sweet and Spicy Mango Salsa
Here’s your quick fix for just about any summer cooking conundrum — make salsa. This sweet-and-spicy condiment has been known to bring many bland, lifeless, and/or overcooked foods back from the dead (it’s super juicy and super flavorful!) and it has bailed many of us out of that awkward “I-forgot-that-I-promised-to-bring-something-to-your-barbecue-and-now-I’m-showing-up-empty-handed” situation (salsa is so easy…
