These Sesame Street-Inspired Cupcakes Are the Perfect Afternoon Project
Keeping little kids entertained can be an exercise in endurance. Your mind’s constantly spinning, trying to come up with ways to entertain that aren’t screentime, screentime, screentime (or involve endless cleanup).

Mini Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Loaves
It all started, as so many of my over-the-top recipes over the years have, with a ridiculous bout of wordplay: SpongeBread SquarePan. I had started a pop culture cupcake-decorating party for one amid all of this social distancing, taking requests from Instagram followers to create cupcakes that looked like the characters from shows we were…

How to Mince Garlic (the Ultimate Hack!)
Sometimes, the “proper” technique just doesn’t work for the home cook. In culinary school, we were taught how to mince garlic by using the side of our chef’s knives to smash a clove, then dice it into teeny tiny pieces. That works, but chopping the pieces small enough can be tedious. So, one very odd…

Maida Heatter’s Baking Soda Trick for Baking Cookies, Tested
Maida Heatter’s a legend among bakers for her cakes, but her cookies are pretty popular, too. So popular, in fact, that she had no qualms about naming her take on chocolate chip cookies “Positively the Absolute Best.” Since I’m perpetually in pursuit of the best chocolate chip cookie recipe, I’m morally obligated to try it.…

How to Dice an Onion Like a Chef
Learning how to dice an onion was honestly, truly the best thing I learned after weeks and weeks of intensive culinary school programs. Sure, I learned how to debone a fish, roast a chicken, cover a cake with fondant and all of the essentials of fine cooking, but the one thing I turn to again…

Popeyes’ Infamous Chicken Sandwich: An Honest Review
Guys, I finally made it. No, I didn’t make any “30 Under 30” lists (too old for that now, anyway) or win any awards—I was sent Popeyes’ chicken sandwich. As in, the sandwich that launched actual fights in-store. That people waited 45 minutes and longer to try. That probably overjoyed franchise owners and horrified hourly…

Buttermilk Biscuit Sandwiches
The unsung hero of Chrissy Teigen’s second cookbook, Cravings: Hungry for More, is the breakfast & brunch chapter. Every recipe is the type of meal you’d be psyched to be served at a restaurant, and while some are involved, they’re all totally doable. The Blueberry Cream Cheese Pancakes are unreal, but if you’re in the…

Spiced Rum Chocolate Chip Cookies
It all started when I ran out of vanilla extract. I’ve always been a firm believer that good-quality vanilla’s the secret to a killer chocolate chip cookie. (Well, that and plenty of brown sugar to get that caramel-y flavor.) When I ran out late Friday night, I wasn’t in the mood to load up the…

What You Should Know About Chrissy Teigen’s New Cookbook
Chrissy Teigen’s cooking won me over. After years at Delish, I’ve seen one too many celebrity cookbooks that seemed like the star simply slapped their name on a book to collect a paycheck. Or created a tome of longwinded recipes calling for all kinds of ingredients that’d (A) cost the average person a fortune and…

Birthday Cake Monster Cookies
This whole experiment started because I bought one too many cake mixes. I know, I know — who does that, and when is it ever a problem?! The thing is, since it’s just Nate and me at home, there isn’t much of a need for an entire vanilla cake. Plus, I’m less of a cake…

Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts
I know what you’re thinking: Brussels Sprouts are the foul, tiny cabbage-like roughage every cartoon rails against from the moment you’re old enough to sit through an entire episode of Looney Tunes. You’re conditioned not to like them, and there’s no way, no how you’re going to start eating them now. I’ve felt the same…
