French Toast Casserole

This overnight French toast casserole recipe is the perfect breakfast for a crowd! It's simple and delicious, with a crisp topping and custardy middle.

This French toast casserole recipe is the easiest way to make French toast for a crowd. Instead of standing at the stove, flipping slices to order, you pile cubed bread into a casserole dish, douse it in a rich, cinnamon-spiced custard, and bake it with pecans and brown sugar on top. It’s a breeze to make on the morning you plan to serve it, but you can also assemble it a day ahead and let it sit overnight in the fridge. The next morning, just add the nutty topping, pop it in the oven, and bake! This French toast casserole…

Classic Martini

Classic and classy, a martini is one of our favorite cocktails to make at home. This 2-ingredient recipe uses gin and dry vermouth. We love it with a twist!

This classic martini recipe was one of the first cocktails Jack learned to make at home. It entered our rotation years ago, back when we had regular poker nights with a group of friends. I would always lose, but I still joined in every time for the company—and the drinks. Jack thinks (and he’s convinced me too) that a martini is a cocktail that’s actually best made at home. You only need 2 ingredients—gin and dry vermouth—and you have complete control over the ratios. We both like ours dry, which is how I’ve written the recipe below, but I’ve also included notes…

Did you know that you can make a perfect grilled cheese in the air fryer? This air fryer grilled cheese sandwich is crisp and golden on the outside and gooey in the middle (I mean, look at that cheese pull!).

Sure, it’s pretty simple to cook one on the stovetop, but using the air fryer is even easier. Here’s why: I use sliced, not grated, cheese. Sandwich assembly is quick and easy! Cleanup is a…

Protein pancakes! If you love starting your day with a high-protein breakfast, this recipe is for you. Each pancake contains about 8 grams of protein, which comes out to roughly 24 grams per serving!

Enchiladas Verdes

These enchiladas verdes have a zesty green tomatillo sauce and a flavorful veggie filling. Topped with gooey, melty cheese, they're a delicious dinner!

Whenever I see enchiladas verdes on a restaurant menu, I’m tempted to order them. I love a bright salsa verde, so green enchiladas always sound so good. But more often than not, they’re filled with shredded chicken. If I want veggie enchiladas verdes (not traditional, but delicious), I’m better off making them at home. These green enchiladas are my go-to recipe. I smother them in a homemade green enchilada sauce that has a tangy tomatillo base and jalapeños for a spicy kick. They’re stuffed with roasted vegetables and creamy pinto beans and topped off with fresh fixings like avocado, radishes, and…

Green Enchilada Sauce

This green enchilada sauce recipe tastes so much fresher than store-bought! It's bold, tangy, and spicy, made with roasted tomatillos, onions, and chiles.

Are you team green enchilada sauce or red enchilada sauce? I’m team…well…both, but right now, I’m really loving this 8-ingredient green enchilada sauce recipe. It’s adapted from my favorite salsa verde, made with roasted tomatillos, onions, garlic, and jalapeños. The tomatillos give it a super tangy and bright flavor, while the jalapeños add a nice spicy kick (don’t worry—if you don’t love spice, I have a few tips for how you can reduce the heat!). Try it the next time you’re making enchiladas verdes—with all the veggies in this recipe, it tastes so much fresher than green enchilada sauce from…

Homemade Corn Tortillas

Learn how to make corn tortillas with this easy 3-ingredient recipe! Soft and flavorful, these homemade tortillas are so much better than store-bought.

You can’t fully appreciate corn tortillas until you’ve tried homemade ones. They’re entirely different from the shelf-stable, store-bought kind. Instead of being dry and prone to cracking, they’re soft, bendable, and full of toasty corn flavor. I shared these corn and flour tortillas a few years ago, and ever since then, I’ve gotten tons of requests for a 100% corn tortilla recipe. I’m so excited to finally get this one to you—it’s totally gluten-free and calls for just 3 ingredients. I love making it to use in Mexican dishes like enchiladas and tacos and to pair with refried beans. I…

Don’t buy creamed corn in a can—this recipe is easy to make from scratch! It calls for 8 basic ingredients, comes together in a single skillet, and tastes SO much better than any canned cream corn I’ve tried. Creamy, cheesy, and packed with crisp, juicy sweet corn, it’s a delicious, comforting side dish. You can make this recipe with fresh or frozen corn, but through September, while corn is still in season, I’ll be making it on repeat with fresh. I love the intense sweetness and satisfying crunch of the peak-season kernels in this dish. That said, if you want…

Fresh Tomato Sauce

Learn how to make tomato sauce at home! Made with fresh tomatoes, this simple, flavorful recipe is perfect for serving on pasta, pizza, and more.

For me, making this homemade tomato sauce recipe is one of the highlights of late summer. Like bruschetta or a good Caprese salad, it’s something I only make at this time of year, when fresh tomatoes are sweet, juicy, and abundant. This tomato sauce has a slightly looser, chunkier texture than my traditional marinara sauce, and its flavor is sweeter and fresher. If you have a garden full of tomatoes, it’s a great way to use them up, but even if you don’t, I hope you’ll try it. You can toss it with pasta or zucchini noodles, spread it on…
