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!

After a few “meh” attempts over the past year, I…

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.

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…

Slow Cooker Cream of Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
Not all recipes make it onto Collegiate Cook and Life Between Weekends. Some are such an epic fail they never even make it to the photo-taking stage, while others take countless iterations to get right.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Truffle Blossom Cookies
A 2020 PSA: If you can’t find Hershey’s Truffle Kisses, don’t drive yourself crazy searching. This year’s limited-edition Valentine’s Day Hershey’s flavor is a dark chocolate molten lava cake flavor. Which is basically the same thing (and ridiculously delicious on their own). I’ve always been a fan of peanut butter blossoms — you know, those…
