Turkey Burgers with Apple Cabbage Slaw

Okay, STOP EVERYTHING. Bold claim about to me made: turkey burgers no longer suck! You might be rolling your eyes, but when have you ever thought a turkey burger was down right delicious? Once? Twice? Never? That changes today. Like, now. Because these turkey burgers with apple cabbage slaw are game changers. First of all, they have feta. Feta is salty and makes pretty much everything it touches a whole lot tastier. You on board? Excellent....

Spicy Tagliatelle with Crab, Lemon, and Capers

Spicy crab pasta with lemon and capers. It's a love letter to seafood and carbs, and also to anyone you deem worthy enough to serve it to. This is the perfect example that simple and unfussy can be both elegant and refined. When I tell you how long it took to make this you won't believe me. Literally comes together in minutes -- don't even try to make the sauce while the pasta is cooking,...

Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowls

Move over, avocado toast, there's a new breakfast champ in town! In case you're unfamiliar with the latest trend, please allow me to introduce you to your new favorite: peanut butter smoothie bowls. A traditional slurp-from-a-straw smoothie is great, but these bowls are thicker, heartier, and allow you to get creative with texture. Top them however you like -- fresh fruit, nuts or granola, chia seeds, toasted coconut flakes -- but for the love of...

Weeknight Slow Baked Salmon with Herb Shallot Butter

I have been known to scoff at the idea of date night in. I think it's likely because I spend so much of my time cooking, that even when my husband takes the reins, I sometimes just prefer to leave the house entirely. Also, when my husband cooks for me -- it's glorious, he's a wonderful cook! -- there somehow always ends up being a mountain of dishes that need tending to. I'm of the opinion that...

Asian Stuffed Peppers

I remember very distinctly having the idea for these Asian stuffed peppers and deciding ahead of time that I was going to love them. After all, what's not to like about what is essentially dumpling filling without the guilt of frying? Let me rephrase: one should never feel guilt about indulging in something delicious, but if given the option to eat dumplings eery day of my life, it would be a resounding 'yes', and aint...

Morning Glory Muffins

Morning glory muffins -- or as I refer to them, less-bad-for-you-than-bakery-style-muffins -- are less of a guilty pleasure than most, and are here to help you hit the ground running in 2019. I've got goals, man. Goals to turn 2019 into a year of 'yes' rather than holding myself back, afraid to step outside the box. Often the thing holding us back is fear, and I'm determined to push that aside in favor of embracing new...

Anchovy Chicken

Is there a recipe in your life that you know so well, inside and out, backwards and forward, that you find yourself making it on repeat? It's both a reliable dinner party staple, and a comforting date night in when you crave the familiar. That's what Melissa Clark's anchovy chicken has become for my family. And before you go running for the hills, let me assure you that if you think you don't like anchovies, you're...

Cranberry Gin Shaker

Holiday cheer: it comes in many forms, but my current favorite is this cranberry gin shaker. I'm branching out, folks! Not just popping open the predictable bottle of bubbly or full-bodied red, which by the way, are solid choices. But this year my husband gave me a hard time about drinking the same-old same-old, week after week. I'm a bourbon girl through and through, so in addition to wine, I have exactly one mixed drink...

Spanakopita Spirals

Christmas is a mere 4 days away and this Jewish girl could not be more excited! Our holiday traditions include a bagel brunch for breakfast, a matinée with the kids (this year the chosen flick is Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse), and then an early dinner out at our favorite Chinese restaurant. We may even throw in a family game night. Traditiooooooon, tradition! It's the kind of lazy, low key day that makes me want to skip...

Tiramisu Cream Puffs

So I did this thing where I made cinnamon pate a choux and filled it with tiramisu pastry cream. It's super fun, screams holiday, and is about to be gone because I can't stop eating them. And why should I? Tiramisu cream puffs are a dream come true -- light, flavorful, and far easier to make than you might expect. (Read on! I'm sharing my tips!) If I'm being perfectly honest, tiramisu ranks high on the...
