If there’s one brand of cookware that’s achieved icon status, it’s Le Creuset. At The Kitchn, our editors have just about seen and tried it all when it comes to cookware; Le Creuset remains a favorite thanks to its durability, iconic designs, and quality results. A small-space amateur home cook myself, high-quality and multi-purpose cookware is a worthwhile investment — and it’s an added bonus that my Le Creuset pieces look gorgeous just hanging out on my stove.

As summer starts to wind down, it’s time to trade our clam bakes and poolside snacks for packed lunches and quick dinners before soccer practice. It’s a mental — and culinary — shift that can be a welcome return to routine! First we just have to remember what our routines are.With two young kids, The Kitchn Senior Food Editor Kristina Razon and her husband know this dance all too well.

It’s almost the start of a new school year — otherwise known as did-you-finish-your-homework-don’t-forget-your-lunch-hurry-up-we’re-gonna-be-late season. Getting everyone out the door in the morning is a feat in and of itself, let alone getting everyone out the door with a hearty breakfast.When breakfast starts with Fruity PEBBLES Waffles, it’s easy to have a delicious start to the day.

Summer is all about socializing more while doing less: less prep, less cleanup, less fuss. The way to channel vacation vibes all season long, from a weeknight dinner to a Saturday night BBQ, is by relying on crowd-pleasing dishes that come together easily.Another way to spend more time at the party: Serve your recipes in the same dishes you cooked them in. Le Creuset makes this part a snap, with stunning enameled cast iron and stoneware in a kaleidoscope of colors.

Lazy cooking is a trend we’ve been loving, and with good reason: all of the deliciousness with none of the fuss! And this less-is-more approach isn’t only a backup plan for busy weeknights — it’s also the secret to a summer full of fabulous gatherings.It’s totally possible to host a dinner party that feels put together without starching cloth napkins or preparing an elaborate main course.

There’s a lot to love about baked beans, sloppy Joes, and sliders. When you combine them into a single supremely craveable sandwich, you’re in for a taste that can’t be beat. In this recipe, slow-cooked smoky-sweet Bush’s Baked Beans become the backbone of tangy sloppy Joes. Then, instead of assembling individual sandwiches, slice a loaf of Hawaiian sweet rolls in half horizontally and pull them apart into bite-sized sandwiches when ready to serve.

Some dishes are a must-have in the summer. Two that top the list are baked beans and pasta salad. Here, Bush’s Baked Beans are added to mini farfalle (bowtie) pasta, crunchy cucumber, fresh tomatoes, and sweet summer corn, using the sweet and smoky sauce of the baked beans to dress the salad. It’s a marriage of two classic cook-out dishes that will have everyone in the crowd asking for more.

Baked beans are a classic summer side dish for a good reason, and it’s hard to beat the flavor you can get from a can of Bush’s Baked Beans. The beans are slow-cooked in a sweet, smoky sauce in a signature blend of spices. For your next summer cookout, picnic, or party, add gochujang to give every spoonful a kick of flavor. Just a tablespoon or two of the fermented red pepper paste turns the classic beans into something brand new that everyone will want to try.

The first sign that your recipe is a winner is when a line forms before you’ve even removed the aluminum foil from the serving dish. That’s almost a guarantee when you serve this recipe. It’s a combination of two classic cookout favorites: Bush’s Baked Beans and creamy stovetop mac and cheese. Everyone will love the ooey-gooey summer side because it’s a classic with a twist: The hints of sweet and savory flavors are irresistible.

Soon after buying my first home, I realized that the kitchen of my cute little row house sat directly below my bedroom. Go ahead, ask me how I figured it out. You see what I’m getting at: While delicious smells are part of the joy of cooking, I didn’t want to keep smelling them when I went to sleep. Once I became more aware of how scent traveled in my cozy abode, I wanted to make extra sure that the air circulating was clear as could be.

Flatbreads are a blank canvas for all sorts of fun and tasty toppings, and this one that channels California cuisine and its farm-to-table spirit is no exception. It’s colorful, gorgeous, and easy too — just top baked pizza dough with quickly pickled onions, herb and garlic cheese, crunchy radishes, California Avocado slices, and fresh herbs for an impressive-looking flatbread.

Noodle bowls are popular in California for good reason: Noodles loaded up with some protein, fresh toppings, and a sauce transform into a tasty, complete meal that’s hard to beat. This noodle bowl starts with a creamy peanut sauce tossed with chewy udon noodles and cucumbers, and is topped with flaky baked salmon and cubes of locally grown California Avocado for a fresh and filling meal that’s full of flavor. It’s a complete meal with noodles, salmon, and vegetables.

When you think of what makes California cuisine so special and delicious, two of the biggest features are high-quality seafood and fresh produce. One such combination, fresh tuna and sustainably grown California Avocado, magically becomes a vibrant, flavorful seafood tartare when tossed with some soy sauce and seasonings. Spoon it onto sushi rice that’s been pan-fried into crispy rice cakes and you get to enjoy a delicious, restaurant-quality appetizer.

Introducing little ones to new foods is never boring. Sometimes you hit the jackpot, and their faces light up at the taste of roasted broccoli or fried shrimp. Sometimes, not so much. One day may be a yes and the next day a no, but every day is an adventure — and we promise, it all pays off.Consistently introducing your little ones to different flavors and textures expands their developing palates and builds their budding appetites.

Spring is such a casually magical time. Winter has its twilight sparkle and summer its exuberant revelry, but in between is this lovely moment when everything begins to wake up: Plants start budding, birds start chirping, and my friends and I start making plans to enjoy the long-awaited return of sunshine. I’m lucky to live just a walk or bike ride away from some of my closest friends, so we never need much of a reason to get together.

We love awards season: the glamour, the red-carpet fashion, the films, the competition. And, of course, the snacking. Hollywood’s biggest night is a great occasion to gather around the TV with your friends, your predictions, and a festive array of finger foods. (Fancy dress optional, but hey, why not?)With a buffet of hearty snacks (and a night of long speeches ahead), it’s possible that heartburn can make a surprise guest appearance.

We never need a reason to eat delicious food with our best friends, but we’re always thrilled to have one — and Galentine’s Day might be the best. An ode to the love of good friendships, it’s an occasion for celebrating your ride-or-die crew. And, like the best friendly hangs, it’s ideally done in comfy clothes with an array of indulgent treats.

When the big game is on, your menu has to be simple to prep, easy to eat, and as crowd-pleasing as a touchdown. And if your favorite part about a football watch party is the food, well, you’re not alone. However, grazing on cheesy, spicy, rich snacks all game long can trigger heartburn by the fourth quarter.

This time of year is a steady stream of parties, potlucks, and festive get-togethers — and all of them have delicious menus of sweet and savory treats. That’s why it’s helpful to have a collection of reliable recipes to keep you ready for reveling, whatever the occasion.However, while we love encountering a buffet table set with all our favorites, over-indulging, rich foods, spicy dishes, and heavy sauces can trigger heartburn, so we always want to be prepared.

They're at the top of the list.

There’s an elegance in the term “cheese board” that transforms “stuff on a plate” into a curated collage of flavors. The liability that comes with that kind of $10 word, however, is what if you don’t know how to curate a collage of flavors? Fortunately, there are some very basic guidelines that will help you choose a good mix of cheeses and their accompaniments.

A good list can simplify almost any task. When life gets overwhelming — as it can in this furiously festive time of year — a little pen-and-paper planning can be the difference between delightfully busy and downright stressed. That’s especially true for one of this season’s eternal tasks: shopping.

Shopping for cheese is a little like shopping for wine. You might know what varieties you gravitate towards, but with a little more knowledge you’ll know how to choose one you absolutely love. And just like wine, what distinguishes one from another is its terroir. Where the cow’s feed and water are sourced, the way the cheese is crafted, and even the aging process all impact the final texture and flavor of the finished cheese.

No more sad sandwiches, for you or your kids!

We all know the humble egg is a good source of protein and a breakfast go-to, but that’s just scratching the surface when it comes to this small and mighty staple. To start, though, we believe in buying high-quality eggs. Pete & Gerry’s® Pasture-Raised Eggs come from hens that are responsibly raised on small family farms according to Certified Humane® Pasture-Raised standards.

Eggs are a kitchen staple you might not think too much about when you’re placing a carton in your shopping cart or frying one up for breakfast — but there’s a lot going on under the shell. The humble ingredient is nothing short of a superfood and well worth getting to know more closely. All of this is predicated by remembering that quality makes a big difference when it comes to eggs and their nutritious benefits.

The end of summer can be bittersweet, but it only takes the thought of cozy suppers to get us excited for fall. As soon as there’s a little chill in the air, we’re eager for earthy veggies, rich flavors, and warm-belly recipes. That goes double for The Kitchn Culinary Producer James Park.“Fall is truly my favorite season,” says The Kitchn Culinary Producer James Park. “This might be basic to say, but nothing gets me excited like fall-flavored items!

If you find yourself getting bored of the same old scrambled eggs, it might be time to break out of your comfort zone. While you can never go wrong with the most tried and true ways to cook eggs — be they scrambled, fried, or hard-boiled — we guarantee there are at least a few new-to-you favorites you haven’t yet discovered. When you explore the humble little egg’s endless versatility, you’ll be delighted to find out what other cooking methods are out there!

I know that when most people think about these last days of summer, they think of the heat, the sweat, the fatigue. But I simply love this micro-season. In these weeks, it’s socially acceptable — encouraged, even — to be as languid as possible, as if we’re all characters in some Tennesse Williams play who are too exhausted to call for line.

Sweet and savory sliders make a perfect grab and grown breakfast, plus they can be made from the hotel breakfast.

Is it our imagination, or does everything taste at least 5 percent better during the summer? By the pool, on the patio, or at the beach, the season seems to elevate even the simplest snack. And, of course, there are so many fresh ingredients bursting with flavor.
