Done right, dishes featuring lentils are rich with flavor and oh-so-satisfying to put in our bellies. They're the kind of dishes you want to linger over and scoop up every last bite. Here are nine r...
How's the Kitchen Cure going? Is your kitchen now neat as a pin? Or do you feel woefully behind? If it's the latter — don't give up! Just do what you can this weekend; just a half hour of purgin...
For those with four-legged furry friends running around their home, there seems to be a unanimous problem — where do you put the pet bowls?! It seems like the answer should be easy: the floor,...
This time of year, we love throwing little gatherings at our house. They're really just an excuse to get people together, open a bottle of wine or two, and enjoy an evening of conversation. Rather tha...
Making a pot of rice to serve with dinner is nearly automatic. But having plain rice day after day can get...well...a little boring, don't you think? That's why we've started experimenting with adding...
Have you ever thought of pairing pumpkin with strawberry? How about soy sauce with cranberry or broccoli with milk chocolate? Would you substitute Gruyère and coconut for butter? A Belgian Web ...
All summer long, we've been eating loads of fresh fruit with yogurt for breakfast. But now that mornings are starting to get chilly, we're feeling the need for change. This past weekend, we finished o...
Reader Jaime sent us a note about this stuffed pumpkin recipe she's been making for dinner lately, and it looked so spectacular we had to share it with all of you. ...
We love how this kitchen has clean, crisp modern touches right alongside some really traditional elements—the toile-like wallpaper and the wooden cabinet (maybe it's antique?) tucked into the far ri...
Art, paint and pattern: three spirit-raising tools that I use in every project. They exist in the kitchen as part of the fabric of the design. Can you have a happy or home environment without them? Co...
For such an elegant little dish, eggs en cocotte are remarkably simple to make. We can even do it half-awake on a Saturday morning while we're waiting for the coffee to brew. Oh, and then the absolute...
Ah, diners! We sip watery coffee out of thick mugs, douse our hash browns with ketchup from a squeeze bottle, and love every minute of it. Wouldn't it be great to bring a little of that relaxed, bre...
Rustic yet elegant, these pear dumplings are among the prettiest autumn recipes we've seen. We might have to plan a dinner party just so we can serve these for dessert!...
The modern kitchen is not so easy to define these days. I can think of a variety of kitchen themes which could have the word or concept "modern" attached to it: the new traditional, modern/rustic, eco...
Over the past few months, we've had several good friends tie the knot and we won't lie, we're kind of jealous of their gift registries. The ability to create a kitchen from scratch at a time when ki...
You look at the kitchen and you immediately get groggy, with a big fly-catching yawn, and before you get totally cranky, you know something has to change. If change doesn't come, no court will convi...
We'll be the first one's to admit we have a severe weakness for well designed packaging for our food and beverage products. We shop local farmers markets and support CSA's in our area, but inevitab...
We're celebrating color on the table and in the kitchen this month! We asked Susan Serra of the great site The Kitchen Designer to inspire us this week with some colorful kitchen spaces, and with some...
We've been guzzling apple cider by the gallon since it started appearing in markets a few weeks ago. Now that our by-the-glass consumption has slowed down somewhat, we're starting to think about other...
Curious about canning? Why not get some friends together and host a canning party?! Kim O'Donnel of "Canning Across America" tells us how. Plus, the art of sword swallowing, how cooking played a role ...
Earlier this week over at Apartment Therapy, we featured the home of Jason Loper in northern Chicago. We couldn't help but swoon over his adorable fall place settings, made out of felt. Don't they jus...
You make a recipe, but it doesn't turn out quite the way you'd pictured it in your head. So you make it again. And then again. And again, each time tweaking it just a little bit or playing with the fl...
When you're celebrating a holiday or some good news, what is your favorite dish to make? You know, that special thing that you only cook once in a while. Do you use a regular standby, or do you us...
Our very favorite thing about fall isn't apple picking, or seeing all the great produce at the market, or even gearing up for the approaching holidays. It's the ability to turn on our oven again! And ...
Scallops do not have to be a special occasion food. Why not make them for absolutely no reason? On a Tuesday? We recently spent $10 on some local scallops (much less than we'd spend on steak) and they...
