We know what you're thinking: a) you love cookie dough, and you always lick the spoon, but b) that doesn't mean you care to eat a whole bowl of it! But wait, wait! Before you dismiss this post, know this: things are not as they appear. This cookie dough dip has a secret. Care to know what it is? More

When the mornings start to get chilly, all I want before I dash out to work is a bite of something warm and a cup of tea in my hand. This breakfast recipe gives me just that, and it's gluten-free to boot! More

For a little after-dinner fun this Thanksgiving, how about a spoonful of sugar... shaped into a turkey, of course! We were a little wowed by these "gobble" spoons, made from caramel, chocolate and colored sanding sugars. Clever and crafty, yet still surprisingly easy to make!

For the past few years I've been in charge of baking the bread for my family's Thanksgiving dinner. My sister usually hosts, but we all split cooking responsibilities, and bread has always been my thing. Due to popular request, I haven't strayed too far from a basic Parker House roll recipe (great for gravy dipping, even better for leftover sandwiches), but I'm really feeling the desire to switch it up this year. These buttermilk biscuits look delicious, and I can't wait to make them. More

I work online for much of the day, and by mid-afternoon I usually start to feel a little fried from staring at my laptop screen, and in need of a pick-me-up. I've been trying to create a more structured break time, a jause if you will, with a pot of tea or cider, and a small plate of something savory. I think these crackers—made with figs, walnuts, and flaxseeds, and perhaps smeared with a little bit of goat cheese or a dollop of apple butter—are calling my name. More

Uh oh, Halloween is upon us! Did it sneak up on you too? While it might be a little too late to come up with a good costume, here's the good news: it isn't too late to come up with a few Halloween treats. And this one is too cute to pass up! More

What do you get when you combine highly nutritious quinoa with superfood kale? A delicious, nutritious lunch, especially when topped with a few pieces of avocado. More

You're either a DIY candy person or you're not. I tend to shy away from making my own candy because I've had awful luck with brittles and barks. Generally when there's a candy thermometer involved, I find that things go south pretty quickly. However, when a beloved candy is so easy to recreate at home, like these Tootsie Rolls, I'm sold.

Confession: I am not the world's #1 Halloween fan. Call me a wimp, but I just don't do well with scary things, even if I know they're fake. So while I applaud the ingenuity of the spooky foods showing up all over the internet right now, they also sufficiently creep me out and thus keep me out of the kitchen. But these homemade cheese crackers, courtesy of our friend Olga from Sassy Radish, are just my kind of Halloween treat: more cute than scary. Friendly ghosts! Plump pumpkins! Benign bats! (Well, at least I'm determining they are.) More

Pumpkin soup. Pumpkin blondies. Pumpkin rolls. Pumpkin seed pesto. We get it! It's the season of pumpkin (not to be confused with pumpkin spice) and we're not fighting it. Add this to the list of pumpkin foods we're craving: pumpkin gnocchi!
