You’ve Got To Try This Sweet-Yet-Smoky BBQ Peach Chicken
I’ve never been peach picking. I only eat peaches two or three times a year, max. So it only makes sense that when a friend suggested we drive an hour out to a farm in New Jersey to fill baskets with peaches that’d go bad in a week if I didn’t eat them immediately, I…

5 Hangouts That Should Exist In Every City
Most of the time, when you go out, it’s clustered into one of three scenarios: restaurant, bar, or other. With the ‘other’ being bowling, mini golf, movies, or something along those lines — often too pricey to do on the regular, and featuring pretty sub-par food (if any at all), so you usually fall back…

How to Make a Diet Coke Cake (or Any Soda Can Cake, Really)
I can’t be the only one who’s suddenly wanted to make a Diet Coke cake, right? Right?! Well, give me a second to explain myself. I can’t blame Duff Goldman or Cupcake Wars or even Food Network in general for my unbearable desire to get in way over my head (or go full-on kitsch) when…

Toasted Coconut & Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are my go-to “feel productive” project. Whenever I’m spinning my wheels or feeling stuck on an issue, I take a break to pull out flour, butter, sugar and eggs, and get mixing. Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, in particular, are my specialty — largely because they’re my husband Nate’s favorite, and because I…

5 Crazy Foods to Try This Year
Between working at Delish and considering ‘eating’ one of my top hobbies, I’ve gotten to try a lot of crazy, over-the-top foods this year. I feel seriously spoiled, and out of all of the dishes I’ve tried, some stand out as clear winners (others are more WTF?!). Here are the ones I can’t get out of…

Zucchini Spaghetti Is One Feel-Good Dinner
Spiralizers always seemed a little snake oil-ish to me. They promise to turn any vegetable into faux-pasta, but I just couldn’t believe it. Texturally, maybe, but taste-wise? Fuhgettaboutit. Then I received a handheld spiralizer. It sat in my cupboard for months, until one day, while trying to eat like Gwyneth Paltrow (cooking entirely from her…

Ranch-Roasted Broccoli & Cauliflower
Ranch makes everything better. There, I said it. Although anyone who’s ever spoken to me may not be surprised by that. I douse it on everything, I dip it on fries, I even wrote an ode to the salad dressing. Lately, I’ve been really into cooking with ranch seasoning and figuring out ways to use…

Accidentally Awesome Fudge Pecan Pie Bars
When it comes to Thanksgiving pies, only one matters in my family’s household: Chocolate pudding pie. It’s my dad’s specialty; so coveted he has to make two whole desserts (plus several pudding cups) to keep us from stabbing each other with forks, fighting for each morsel. I’m only just barely exaggerating here. The only one…

Turkey Cheese Dip Is The Perfect Winter Appetizer
I’ve been obsessed with tracking down the recipe for a friend-of-a-friend’s turkey cheese dip ever since I first tried it when I was 12 at a holiday party. It was just the right combination of gooey, melty cheese, crusty sourdough (it was served in a bread bowl, after all) and fresh, white meat turkey. My…

What’s the Deal with Bulletproof Coffee?
People have been buzzing about bulletproof coffee — AKA adding butter and/or oil to your java — for a few years now, but the more I interview people for Delish.com, the more often it keeps bubbling up. (Go ahead, facepalm at my bad pun; I’m sure I have more percolating.) It came up again last week,…

A Little Mid-Week Surprise from Starbucks
I like free stuff and I cannot lie. That’s why I use the Starbucks app whenever I buy a drink (or a bacon-gouda sandwich) from the chain, because every 12th purchase leads to one free item. For the first time since becoming a gold card member, however, I received something in addition to my dozen-star freebie: A…

I’m A Sucker for Free Cupcakes
If you wanted to ensnare me, you wouldn’t need an elaborate ruse. Just leave a trail of free cupcakes (no matter how questionable), or have a person dance around in a giant cupcake costume, and curiosity will compel me to follow the trail.
