8 Delicious Ways to Use Up Stale Bread

I’ve always had visions of waking up on a Saturday morning and baking a rustic loaf of bread to enjoy all weekend long.

I vowed to myself that I’d attempt to recreate it back home, so we had Hannah Yerby, […]

Make Someone’s Valentine’s Day With A Treat That Isn’t Sweet

Mackenzie Anne Smith is a woman after my own heart. What makes us kindred spirits, you ask? It’s simple: our shared belief that everything tastes better with a carby starchy doughy element. While I’ve perfected the art of eating things-stuffed-in-pastry (or, pocket foods as today’s guest would say) Mackenzie has mastered the art of actually making them on the […]

Charred Caprese Eggplants

I almost feel like it’s cheating to do another “caprese” recipe, because let’s face it: ANYTHING you stuff with tomatoes, basil, and fresh mozzarella is going to be delicious. But when I made these charred eggplants the other night for dinner, they were so ridiculously easy (in addition to being delish) that I knew I […]

This Kale Sourdough Panzanella Will Be Your New Favorite Salad

My friend Walter makes the best bread I’ve ever tasted. He grows the yeast, mills the flour, and combines it all with salt and water to create a slow-fermented sourdough that truly doesn’t belong in the same category as the pre-sliced quick breads found in grocery stores.

A Roasted Beet, Avocado, & Pistachio Salad to Start Your Detox

I hope that y’all had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed plenty of time relaxing with family and friends and digging into leftover pie for breakfast (a once-a-year indulgence that is 100% worth it.)

These are the Best Chocolate Chip Cookies on the Planet

It’s a bold claim, I know, but I’ve had these tested by Adam an official cookie expert, and the verdict is in: these are the best chocolate chip cookies on the planet. Since they’re chock-full of nuts, coconut, and oats, one might call them a “monster cookie,” but the fact remains that they’ve beat any […]

Orange Carrot Cake Trifles

One of the best ways my mom communicates love is through carrot cake. Seriously. Her co-workers know that it’s gonna be a great day when she shows up to the hospital (she’s a psych nurse) holding the covered dish that houses her famous 3-layered orange carrot cake sandwiched with orange cream cheese frosting. It’s insanely […]
