Surprising Ideas

Step one: Take it out of the plastic tub.

Yep, the stuff you put in soup. But hear us out: It's *really* good!

A pinch of savory spice is my favorite trick for giving cookies an extra, and sometimes unexpected boost of flavor.

It's what makes your short stack so toasty sweet.

Soggy capers are a thing of the past.

The stock is easy to remove, and in amounts that recipes tend to call for.

We’re in that moment where it’s all about starting anew, which means I’m doing my best to keep my resolutions. On the kitchen front, I’m on a cleaning rampage — trying to eat more healthfully, and giving my pantry some love.

Who wouldn’t love a slightly boozy and spicy popsicle? Or gazpacho? Sounds good to me.
