Coconut Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies
Even when I think I’ve found the perfect chocolate chip cookie, I’m always looking for a fresh riff on the recipe. I’ve tried them with oats, molasses, cream cheese, bananas, straight-off-the-back-of-the-chip bag (and I mean every chip bag), all kinds of mix-ins, the 24-hour refrigeration method, even the latest smack-the-pan-before-baking technique. So, when I ran…

Air Fryer Chicken Tacos
I’ve recently become an Air Fryer addict. Yes, as in the bulky countertop oven that speed-heats food, creating crispy fries, chicken, and other dishes that taste deep-fried — only they don’t use an ounce of grease.

Don’t Knock It ‘Til You Try It: Moon Dust Banana Bread
Lately, I’ve been feeling a little woo-woo. Not quite hunting-down-Bigfoot-while-wearing-tin-foil-hats, but more like, I’m into trying new things, no matter how bizarre they might seem. It’s good to be open minded, right? So, when a box of Moon Dust — the very stuff raved about on Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle site, Goop — crossed my desk,…

New Year, New Commitment To You (And Changes To Our Posting Schedule!)
When this blog launched, I committed to posting three times a week, every week, for a year. By the end of the year, I couldn’t wait to give it up. It was just too much in an already-packed schedule, and had quickly become an obligation. So I slipped to one post a week. Before long,…

Found: New York’s Best Chocolate Chip Cookie
When I first moved to New York, I had a lengthy to-do list. An incredibly unusual to-do list. Most people can’t leave the city without hitting up the Empire State building or Statue of Liberty, going to a Yankees or Mets game, or doing classically New York things, like hailing a cab or eating $1…

Trying Something New: Going “Bro-Country” For A Night
There’s a dog on the stage, singers are swilling whiskey straight from the bottle, and my husband and I are definitely the only people in this 30,000-person arena who don’t know a single word to the songs they’re singing.
