These miraculous cookies are somehow even easier, faster, and—I'll say it—better than the recipe on the back of the chocolate chip bag.

It was the moment we’d all been waiting for—or more accurately, slightly dreading: time to consume the fish heads. My mom picked them up from the fishmonger that morning, and they’d sat in a plastic, ice-filled bag on the counter, my siblings and I giving it a wide berth. Now, gl … | Continue reading

A countertop convection oven is a workhouse in the kitchen. It can quickly reheat a cheesy slice of leftover pizza. It can roast potatoes to get them nice and crispy.

I’m from Canton, Ohio–the meat-and-potatoes middle of the country. A town most famous for being home to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and lots of cream soup–based casseroles.

Scanning the wine list at an Italian restaurant, you might pick Chianti strictly out of familiarity, especially if you’re new to wine. After all, you’ve probably wandered past a dozen or so bottles labeled “Chianti” at your local wine shop. You may remember the jug your grandpare … | Continue reading
At home, I fly through tahini at an alarming rate, adding it to almost everything I make.

It’s a tale as old as time: you buy a bunch of bananas at the grocery store with every intention to eat them with breakfast or lunch daily for the next five days, but they inevitably go bad before you get the chance. Banana bread is a great way to use up overripe bananas (as we a … | Continue reading
I would happily attend a Thanksgiving feast centered entirely around pies (Grandma, are you listening?). Away with the cranberry sauce that still shows the lines from the can, out with the impossibly dry turkey, and farewell to 1960s casseroles. Instead, I’m welcoming pies, pies, … | Continue reading
And just like that, summer is coming to an end. While we won’t miss the humidity or the heat waves, we’ll definitely miss lazy afternoons in the sun and endless picnics.

Here comes the sun and I say, it’s actually not all right. More than five thousand cases of Capri Sun—5,760 to be exact—have been recalled due to possible contamination of cleaning solution.

You might know him from movies like Machete and Bad Ass, but these days, you’re just as likely to find Danny Trejo in the kitchen of one of his LA restaurants as on a movie set.

A quick trip to South Dakota provided everything I could want in a Wild Wild West-themed adventure and then some.

Tomatoes for summer? Groundbreaking. But Meryl Streep jokes aside, it really is a delicious time to be alive.

We’ve officially reached the point in summer when my garden is producing way more vegetables than we could possibly eat. I’m talking 3 or 4 pounds of cucumbers per day!

My college days may be in the rearview mirror, but I still remember the joys—and struggles—of living in a dorm.

If there’s a way to distill the LA experience down to one moment, it’s this: sitting on Gracias Madre’s sunny patio in West Hollywood, sipping on a margarita while looking out for Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. “Anytime anyone says that they came straight here from the airport, I’ … | Continue reading

Eggs are a one-minute, emergency dinner—fry an egg, plop on toast, squiggle with ketchup or hot sauce—but they can be so much more without a ton of effort on your part.
