I know chocolate chip cookies can be a pretty polarizing topic. Some like them crunchy and thin – like a Tates. Others prefer them soft and chewy. I happen to have a very firm belief that a chocolate chip cookie should be thick, gooey, just-slightly-undercooked-on-the-inside and crunchy on the outside. This recipe is the best…

This is the cake I’ve had almost every year for my birthday. I absolutely love carrot cake – this recipe especially. All of the anxiety and stress of getting another year older dissolves right into this cake and it turns into the sweetest serenity. I guess that’s the beauty of cake. It always finds a…
My cast iron skillet is my ride or die. It’s by far the most durable pan I have in my kitchen. And, if you have one, too then you know exactly what I’m talking about. These babies are built to last; like a Ford 150. They are durable. They are resilient. They are made from…
When I was young, my mother would make me rice krispy treats. And not just for school bake sales or or birthday parties. She’d make them with me whenever I was down. I not only remember how I loved the way they tasted. But I used to love the way they made me feel. Making…
Bolognese is my go-to Italian restaurant order. It’s a given. Directly after I single-handedly devour an entire bread basket meant for two (or maybe 3), I go straight to the menu to confirm they have just what I want. Once I find and order my beloved dish, my mouth is already watering with excitement– more…
Home. It’s where the heart is. It’s also where you’ve been anchored for the greater part of March and April. If you’re like me, you’ve spent about 80% of the time in your kitchen. Some moments you’re there to passively graze the fridge and cabinets hoping that something has sprung up since your last examination…
Salads don’t have to be boring at home. In fact, they shouldn’t be boring anywhere. Growing up, the salads we made at home were always an afterthought. Never the co-star of dinner, they were more like the unpaid, unnoticed movie extra. The wooden salad bowl (why was it always a wooden bowl?) would be unenthusiastically…
My husband and I went to Paris for part of our honeymoon and ate the greatest salmon we’ve ever had. It was unforgettable. It was cooked to perfection with a hint of honey, a touch of soy, and a glaze that coated the fish so harmoniously it was as if that’s how mother nature intended…
There’s nothing better than risotto – aka the rice version of mac and cheese (and who doesn’t love mac and cheese?). It’s creamy, cheesy, and satisfies just about every palate. Since it’s so rich and decadent, adding beets is the perfect ingredient to include in the dish. The beets sweeten it up just perfectly, not…
