A Creamy, Delicious Slaw to Make This Weekend

This creamy coleslaw is one of our most popular recipes on Memorial Day weekend every year. It's one of my favorite summer side dishes too!

I’ve shared a lot of slaw recipes over the years. There’s this colorful cabbage salad that’s tossed in a lightly creamy peanut dressing and this vinegar coleslaw that features a tangy apple cider vinaigrette. My broccoli slaw has a base of broccoli stem matchsticks (waste not, want not!), and this kohlrabi slaw includes apples for sweetness. I love them all, but this creamy coleslaw will always be my favorite. Here’s why I love this coleslaw recipe: It’s classic and nostalgic. Coleslaw has been one of my favorite cookout side dishes since I was a kid. With its creamy, sweet, and…

Blondies Recipe

We can't get enough of this easy blondie recipe! Made with brown butter, the blondies have a rich, caramel-like taste and perfect chewy texture.

This blondie recipe is one of my new favorite desserts! No offense to brownies, but I might like these blondies…better? They have a dense and chewy texture and a warm, butterscotch-y flavor from brown butter, brown sugar, and a generous splash of vanilla. White chocolate chips give them creamy pockets of sweetness, and walnuts add delicious crunch. These blondies are super simple to make (1 bowl! 8 ingredients!), so they’re a great dessert to whip up whenever you’re in the mood for something sweet.

How To Brown Butter

What's better than regular butter? Brown butter! Its toasty, nutty flavor adds delicious depth to baked goods. Learn how to make it with this simple guide!

Learn how to brown butter! I’m always a fan of simplicity when it comes to baking. But for the right recipe, even I will admit that pulling out an extra pan and taking a few minutes to brown butter is worth it. Brown butter has a rich, nutty scent and toasty flavor—think butterscotch. When you add it to baked goods like chocolate chip cookies and blondies, it packs in all that toasty, nutty goodness, making your treats taste extra-delicious and complex. Browning butter intimidated me for years, but with the right equipment (a light-colored pan is KEY!), it’s actually super easy.…

Dutch Baby

This Dutch baby recipe starts with a simple batter that's easy to make in the blender. It bakes into a big, puffy, golden brown pancake in the oven!

This Dutch baby pancake is for you if 1) you love popovers, 2) you love crepes, and/or 3) you want making brunch to be as easy as possible. This recipe couldn’t be simpler! Unlike stovetop pancakes, a Dutch baby bakes in a hot skillet in the oven. As it cooks, its eggy batter puffs up (think popovers) and turns a gorgeous golden brown. The custardy slices taste a lot like crepes, and they’re a delicious vehicle for toppings like fresh fruit. I shared a raspberry lemon Dutch baby recipe in my first cookbook, but I’ve never shared one here. With…

Bring it to your next picnic, and you’ll bring home an empty bowl (I promise!). I love this salad because it actually gets better as it sits, making it a perfect make-ahead side dish for potlucks and picnics. I’m looking forward to making it on repeat this summer. I hope…

Easy Scones

Learn how to make perfect scones! My recipe is easy to customize with your favorite add-ins, and it yields buttery, flaky, flavorful scones every time.

The best scones are buttery, flaky, and moist inside. They’re crisp and crumbly around the edges, perfect for pairing with a cup of coffee or tea. Scones can get a bad rap for being bland or dry (my husband Jack swore he didn’t like them for years), but when they’re prepared well, they shouldn’t be either of those things. I’m sharing my favorite scone recipe below. It’s easy to make with 10 basic ingredients, and you can customize it with your favorite sweet or savory mix-ins. No matter which ones you pick, it yields tender, flavorful, bakery-worthy scones every time.…

The Case for Homemade Guacamole

I recently had disappointing restaurant guac. It reminded me why the best guacamole is homemade: because you can make it exactly how you like it!

A few weeks ago, I went out to dinner with friends at a neighborhood Mexican restaurant. As we looked over the menu (I was deciding between portobello tacos or veggie enchiladas as my entree), we agreed to kick things off with guacamole for the table. It seemed like a no-brainer. Restaurant guac may not be cheap (that one bowl cost us $16!), but it would certainly be delicious. At least, I thought it would be. In reality, it…wasn’t great, filled with watery tomatoes and not nearly enough lime or salt. I mean, $16?! It reminded me of the major benefit…

This post is sponsored by Culligan. I’ve been a huge fan for years! Who else is ready for spring?! The temps have (finally) been warming up around here lately, which has put me in the mood for refreshing spring salads and iced drinks. For the past few weekends, I’ve been making a big pitcher of iced hibiscus tea to drink throughout the week. It has tart, cranberry-like flavor that I love, and it’s packed with antioxidants like vitamin C and beta-carotene. I feel especially good about drinking it because I make it with fresh, filtered Culligan water from my kitchen tap.…
