  • 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.

  • 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. On Friday, one Insta was a total thumbstopper. I was completely mesmerized by it. It was like a unicorn of the breakfast world: A rainbow,…

  • 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.

  • 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…
