Buy these dishes from Anthropologie Spend time on the B & H Photo website or any photography or camera gear website I could drop thousands on photography stuff from lenses to camera bodies in no time flat. The Tsunami in Japan has effected the worldwide supply of many lenses and camera bodies with very indefinite ETA’s for them being re-stocked. That just feeds my buying desires. I really shouldn’t eat too many of these Caramelized Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Chickpea “Peanuts” They are so good....

I’ve been hard at work creating some brand new instant pot dinner recipes to share with you all. Learn all of my instant pot tips! I often get asked if I like my instant pot, and what I use it for. My favorite thing to use it for is all-in-one dinner recipes where you can throw all of the raw ingredients in the instant pot. The end result is a complete meal, ready in just minutes, with very little prep, and only one dish to wash afterwards....

comment icon 36 more comments Yep. It’s a strange one, but also not, because the fresh greens + olive oil + red pepper flakes combo is never not a good one. What is kale chimichurri like, exactly? It’s kind of like a pesto, except no cheese, and no basil, and arguably more healthy, with a lot more zip and bite. It has universally appealing flavor profile with the heavy hitters being garlic, red pepper flakes, and vinegar or lime juice....

This recipe is a spinoff from my Kung Pao Cauliflower. I loved it so much and knew that most people would probably be into a chicken version. Both are great and I can make a meal out of either one, even the cauliflower version! What Is Kung Pao Chicken? The chicken is tender and juicy with crisp-tender red bell peppers, topped with crunchy peanuts, green onions, and a thick kung pao sauce....

comment icon 138 more comments Like Capris. As a brace-faced-bad-bangs 8th grader, I was convinced that I would never ever wear them. My friends went capri crazy but I resisted. As luck would have it, I came to realize that my friends were right and now I have a closet full of capris from my late-bloomer capri phase in the late 90’s. Sweet. Twitter. I’ll get back to you on that one....

Let’s make cake. In the microwave. In 90 seconds. Who doesn’t love cake, with strawberries woven into it, with a puddle a bit of vanilla buttercream glaze added for good measure. Get your day started off properly. With cake for breakfast. And it’s healthy because you’re getting in a serving of fruit. Yeah. Along with a serving of frosting, which is the best way to start the day, of course....

I LOVE making cookies, and since I don’t usually have fresh-baked cookies available on the spot, I like to freeze them for when friends come over or when we just want a little treat. In my freezer currently are Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookies, Red Velvet Sandwich Cookies, and Chewy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. Who wants to come over?! Don’t ask me to choose a favorite type of cookie because I just wouldn’t be able to!...

For me, there was a nice surprise: A Dozen Roses from Scott! I know I said before that we don’t exchange gifts on holiday, and so I was shocked he bought these for me! I don’t care if a woman says, “Oh, You Don’t Have To…” It’s always nice to get flowers and he scored major points! Even after 9 years of marriage and 11 years together, it’s nice to still feel special with pink (my favorite color!...

Bjork here checking in for my monthly Pinch of Yum cameo. You can usually find me hanging around the Food Blogger Pro blog, but once a month I get to stand in the bright lights on the Pinch of Yum stage and talk about all things blogging and business. We’ve been doing these traffic and income reports for over three years now. Some of you have been along for the entire ride (thanks!...

One pan dishes are the kind of recipes that motivate me to make dinner. I love the thought of few dishes and easy prep! Some of my favorite one pan meals include Easy Beef Stroganoff, Cottage Pie, and One Pan Jambalaya. This is one of those magical dinners where uncooked noodles, sauce, and meatballs are all added to a casserole dish and baked together in the same pan! It doesn’t get much easier then that, and it’s the type of warm and comforting meal that everyone in your family will love!...

Hungarian Pörkölt vs Goulash Pörkölt (Peur-keult) is Hungarian for beef stew and is a popular Hungarian recipe made by braising meat and simmering it with onions in a tomato based sauce. It’s served warm, over noodles and it’s absolutely delicious. My brother lived in Hungary for some time and came home with a new found love of Hungarian food....

comment icon 8 more comments Posting three sweet recipes in a row might not be an advisable blogging strategy, but I had to do it. I’m hoping y’all are as addicted to sweets as I am? Because then maybe I can get away with it. (Yeah, y’all, I’m southern today.) And if you’re the 1 percent that’s not addicted to sugar but still read my blog full of sugary recipes, guess what?...

comment icon 43 more comments These are asparagus noodles, as in ASPARAGUS that you shave thinly to look and act like fettuccine noodles. Hoooooly goodness. I am for real. The day I made them, I literally could not shut up about it. I called over everyone in the studio: look at this! look! aren’t they so pretty! hey! you! look look looooook! It’s a magic trick that you can eat....

I have had my Pinterest account for nearly 6 months but had not done much with it until recently. For those of you who don’t know what it is, allow me to give my Cliff’s Notes version. First, it’s sort of like one big cyber wish list. Every time you see something you like, you can pin it (virtually) on one of your pin boards. I created these boards: Chocolate, Cookie Dough, Desserts...

Classic Pumpkin Roll Cake Recipe If you’ve ever wondered how to make a pumpkin roll, I am here to show you how. It’s not as intimidating or as scary as you may be thinking! Pumpkin rolls are such a timeless dessert. Between the warmly spiced cake that soft, tender, and moist to the tangy cream cheese frosting, it’s a dessert that pumpkin fans of all ages will appreciate. You don’t need any special equipment to make a pumpkin roll, just a couple mixing bowls and a jelly roll pan....

Sometimes I have a little bit of pumpkin puree leftover in the bottom of the can and wonder what I’m going to do with it. Too much to toss, but not enough to make something big with. But bigger isn’t always better and in the case of these cupcakes, good things came in a batch size of just six cupcakes. Really, I don’t need more than six cupcakes at once....

I know I say that about many of my creations, but between the short time investment of less than five minutes to make, that there are just three ingredients used, and how good they taste, you just have to give these a whirl.
