A Handy Guide to Keeping Portions in Check
Study after study has shown that our judgment is typically way off when it comes to portion control. We often dramatically underestimate calories and think of a portion as being much, much larger than it actually is (prime ex: Did you know one serving of avocado is just 1/5th of the fruit? That’s basically a…

The Quest for the Rainbow Bagel
It all started, as so many great adventures do, by mindlessly scrolling the Internet*. Specifically, Instagram, where I have lost many a minute of my life browsing the “Explore” tab.

Shockingly Good Airline Food
When it comes to flying, I pack snacks as if I might never eat again. (Seriously, who needs trail mix, apples and granola when your flight is only three hours?! This girl, apparently.) When Nate and I prepared to fly to Australia, I went into overdrive. Sure, we’d spend 5 1/2 hours on a plane…

3 Cooking Tricks I’ve Learned on the Job
I am so grateful that I get to do what I do each day. Test recipes, interview fascinating people, help create Instagram videos in honor of National French Fry Day (clearly, very important work) — it’s a total blast, and I can honestly say I’m psyched to go to the office each day. Part of…

5 Foods You Must Try at Trader Joe’s
Trader Joe’s has a cult-like following. (It’d have to be one, considering the lines that can snake throughout the store just to get to the checkout!) With its laid-back atmosphere, ultra-fresh produce and affordably priced foods, the grocery store chain is winning people over nationwide. The biggest draw, though, is the store’s line of packaged…

Coconut Chocolate-Chip Banana Bread
It’s so many things! So many wonderful, lick-your-fingers-and-scoop-up-the-crumbs wonderful things! My all-time favorite banana bread recipe comes with a hearty scoop of shortening, and as delicious as it is, I’m trying to eat a smidge healthier, so I set out to create a lightened-up version. After a few “meh” attempts over the past year, I…

You Need to Try Roasting Peaches This Summer
After a coworker roasted strawberries at Delish, I began to wonder: What other foods taste incredible roasted? Roasting peaches isn’t exactly groundbreaking, but I’d never tried it before, and boy, was I missing out.

Greek Stuffed Zucchini Boats
Thanks to paleo diets and spiralizers, zucchini has never been hotter. It’s popping up in all sorts of dishes, and while I’m a huge fan of my one and only zuke recipe (Can I call ’em zukes? Is that a thing?), I figured it was time to branch out. Enter: stuffed zucchini boats.

The Summer Baking Bucket List
Last week, we shared a list of 21 Things to Do This Summer, and we found ourselves talking a lot about food. (Seriously, we need hobbies that don’t involve eating, but let’s not dwell on that right now.) Longer daylight hours somehow make us feel like there’s more time in our weeknights — perfect for a…

The Most Decadent Banana Pudding Recipe You’ve Ever Tasted
Sex and the City may have made Magnolia Bakery world-renowned for its cupcakes, but anyone who’s been there will tell you the real star of the sweets shop is its banana pudding. It’s lighter, and airier, than the traditional recipe — the texture is more like mousse — and like any respecting Southern banana pudding,…

How to Make an Anti-Gravity Cake
I can’t resist a good prank, joke or pun. When April Fool’s Day rolls around, I love seeing what fake creations Google’s touting, what faux posts Emily Schuman has crafted at Cupcakes and Cashmere, but especially, what fakeout foods people have cooked up. Remember when Family Fun showed you how to make fake chicken drumsticks…
