What’s Cookin’?
Soft Salted Chocolate Caramels
This caramel recipe is by far my favorite candy recipe of all time. They taste a lot like a tootsie roll but softer and even better and they make a great gift all wrapped up in a bag with a bow.
Green Spaghetti
My love for Julia Turshen’s cookbook Simply Julia is endless and this recipe is just one of the reasons I cook from it almost every week.
Tropical “Sorbet”
After realizing that one-ingredient banana “ice cream” is maybe the best thing since sliced bread, it was time to try out some variations, like this tropical “sorbet”.
One-Ingredient Banana “Ice Cream”
One-ingredient banana ice cream is magical, fast and delicious. Add a ingredient or two (like Nutella or nut butter) for endless variations.
Peanut Butter Yogurt Cups
These TikTok famous yogurt cups don’t exactly taste like Snickers, but they’re an easy, customizable and delicious sweet snack.
Pea & Spinach Soup
This super quick and easy pea and spinach soup uses frozen spinach and peas, vegetable broth cubes, and pretty much any type of dairy you might have in your fridge.
Food-Focused Baby Books
A few of our favorite food-focused board books for baby…
Sushi-Inspired Salmon Rice Bowl
Rice bowls are flexible and easy to adapt to lots of tastes because you can serve all the components separately and let each diner make their own. This sushi-inspired salmon rice bowl has something for everyone, including baby!
Fudge Brownies
These brownies are my favorite and most used recipe from pastry school. They’re chocolate-y, fudgey and everything I want a brownie to be (i.e. not cakey).
Cheddar Pancakes
These cheddar pancakes are great for savory breakfast lovers, but I find that it’s also way easier to justify eating pancakes for lunch or dinner if they’re savory…
3-Ingredient Berry Gazpacho
Three ingredients make this delicious dessert soup that can be dressed up or down with a variety of fun toppings.
Sheet Pan Cheesy Meatloaf and Crispy Zucchini
Easy prep and minimal clean up makes this sheet pan dinner a weeknight favorite. Plus panko breadcrumbs and ranch powder might just convince the pickiest eaters to try these veggies.
Berry Meringue Swiss
This summery take on traditional Meringue Swiss is a delicious way to use up summer berries.
Birthday Meringue Swiss
Meringue Swiss is the Swedish answer to pavlova and Eton Mess and consists of meringues, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and bananas. All the components can be prepped ahead of time so it’s super easy to pull together for any celebration.
Meringue Cookies
Meringue “cookies” are versatile, easy to make and gluten free. Try making these with just vanilla, or swap it out for freeze dried fruit or chocolate.
Tapenade-Style Broccoli Puree
This baby food puree introduces a few more flavors than regular fruit and veggie foods might, and it’s easy to freeze and thaw if baby’s not yet eating much at each sitting.
Confetti Cookies for Every Season
Confetti cookies are the perfect dessert to make for every season, event and holiday. Just swap out the sprinkles you’re using and they’re right on theme. Plus these cookies are soft, chewy and delicious.
Lemon-Lime Soda Syrup
Making your own soda is definitely a little extra, but it’s also fun and easy. This lemon-lime version is tasty and uses just a few easy-to-find ingredients.
Brown Bear Pancakes
Adorably shaped pancakes are all over the internet but most of them require special tools to make, or they’re impossible for a regular human to execute. Which is why I made these brown bear pancakes using just a tablespoon and half teaspoon measure.
Pesto Pea Waffles for the Whole Family
This versatile savory waffle recipe can accommodate a variety of toppings and be made as pancakes if you don’t have a waffle iron.
