Sunbutter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Sunbutter + chocolate chips + oatmeal? I get it. It’s so many things, but each of these ingredients—lends something special to these cookies, making them so extraordinary they’ve become my new go-to baking project. The oatmeal adds texture and chewiness, the chocolate chips (preferably Ghirardelli’s 60 percent cacao bittersweet chocolate chips) lend richness, and the…

Rye Flour Everything Bagels
If you like the flavor of rye or pumpernickel bread, you’re going to love this riff on an everything bagel. It’s just as chewy and pillowy as a regular bagel, only it takes advantage of some of the health benefits of rye flour (like a boost of fiber and vitamin B, with less of a…

I Tried Blake Lively’s Box Mac & Cheese Hack, & It’s Seriously Good
No child can resist the allure of Paw Patrol these days. At least, that’s what I told myself after conducting extended negotiations in aisle six of the grocery store, as my daughter begged for Chase- and Marshall-shaped macaroni, courtesy of Kraft. Now, I have fond memories of the blue box, but as an adult, it’s…

Voodoo Doughnuts in Orlando: Is It Worth the Hype?
Strolling through Universal Orlando’s CityWalk, you can’t help but notice Voodoo Doughnuts: from the towering pink-and-black building to the 12-foot-tall replica of its Voodoo Doll doughnut to its pastry-barnacled throne outside, it’s total Instagram bait. And when you see the 50 (yes, 50!) flavors on the menu, it’s hard to resist making a detour. But…

Pudgy, Gooey Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Cookies
A misunderstanding led to one of my greatest creations ever. During my Delish days, I had heard about people using cream cheese instead of butter for a pillowier cookie. Turns out, they meant subbing a tiny portion of the butter; not a 1:1 swap. I went 1:1—and I’ve never looked back. We called the end…

Absurdly Fudgy Brookies
I like my desserts like I like my steaks: medium rare. Seriously—the underbaked, the better. But when it comes to brownies, molten goo is a little hard to eat (and, admittedly, a potential food safety issue). So I set out to create not just fudgy brookies, but the absolute fudgiest, gooiest cookie-brownie combo I could…

‘Star Wars’-Inspired Wookiee Pies, AKA Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Creme Pies
First, a disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Disney, Lucasfilm or the artist formally known as Chewbacca. It’s just a tribute for Star Wars fans to enjoy. Time for a double dose of nostalgia: Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies meets an homage to the unsung, hairy, anxiety-riddled hero of the Star Wars franchise (no, not…

The Best Thing I Ever Ate at Disney World…Is at Steakhouse 71
For years, dining at Disney was literally part of my job. I’d visit Walt Disney World in Kissimmee and Disneyland in Anaheim a couple times a year, sampling everything from fast treats like Tigger Tails and softball-sized cookies to three-course, avant garde dinners. And out of all the things I’ve tried, one truly decadent appetizer…

Easy Chilaquiles (Using Store-Bought Salsa)
Let’s get this out of the way: This recipe isn’t for authentic chilaquiles; I’m not going to pretend like I have any authority in that space, beyond a strong appreciation for the classic Mexican breakfast. (Mexico in My Kitchen and Muy Delish feature great recipes on that front.) I call this my “wannabe Chilaquiles” recipe,…

The Best Bagel Schmear Recipe: Bacon Scallion Cream Cheese
It’s bold to call this the best bagel schmear, but we’re going there. For five years, Nate and I had Brooklyn Bagel at least once a week, and our order rarely changed: everything bagel, toasted, slathered and stacked with bacon scallion cream cheese. Since moving away, we haven’t just endeavored to replicate the epic bagels;…

Ridiculously Easy Greek Yogurt Everything Bagels (& Asiago, Too!)
Ever since moving out of New York City, I’ve been on the hunt for a bagel that can rival the best ones I’ve ever had: the poppy-garlic-dried-onion-smothered balls of carby wonder at Brooklyn Bagel. No place has come close, so I’ve set out to make my own. This Greek Yogurt Everything Bagel recipe has the…
