I’ve been walking around in denial, refusing to wear long pants—shorts only please—or socks, even though it’s in the 40s at night. The denial extends to my grill. I don’t care if it’s raining dagnabbit! I have a grill and I’m going to use it, even if I have to bundle up under my rain parka to do it. For your enjoyment today are grilled tuna kebabs (prepared under said rain parka) with assorted vegetables, which marinated for several hours in a rosemary garlic olive oil marinade....
Here’s a little tip that you may or may not know about ginger: it is very helpful for nausea. It is the only thing (and believe me, I’ve tried everything) that helps me with sea sickness. Pregnant women I have known swear by it. The root itself is rather gnarly, and can be a little bit challenging to peel and cut, so I’ve put together a quick how-to, starting with this short video of my preferred way to peel ginger, with a spoon!...
It’s a fairly straightforward recipe but does require some care when you are tempering the eggs, so they don’t curdle. Go slowly the first time you make it to avoid any errors, and after you’ve added the eggs try to ensure the soup doesn’t come to a boil as that’s what can make it split. Even if you are reheating portions, keep the saucepan over low heat and warm it gently....

A few years ago, I found the remnants of a New Year’s Resolution list tucked into the folds of an old notebook stashed in the bottom drawer of an even older desk. The list was written nearly a decade prior, and I realized I’d been trying to lose the same 10 pounds for years. From that moment on, I changed the way I looked at resolutions. Rather than jotting down a list of goals I’d hope to accomplish, lose 10 lbs....

Tips for Making Mini Cupcakes with Nutella Swirl and Raspberry Cream Cheese Frosting Whenever I think of cupcakes, I think of our friend Lizzy Early’s recipes! I used her birthday cupcake recipe, but left out the sprinkles. They are so moist and rich. When you make the Nutella swirls, don’t worry about making them perfect…they will be covered up by frosting for the most part. See below for a picture of the cupcakes pre-frosting....
In fact, if we are friends, and you have an occasion coming, expect a bottle. My love runs that deep. Why Bar Keepers Friend is the Best Friend I met Bar Keepers Friend when I was 18, and working at Nectar’s in Burlington, Vermont. It was love at first use. After a grueling shift slinging beer and shaking margaritas, a co-worker introduced me to the miracle cleanser that is now a staple in my cleaning regime....
Ramen Noodle Salad or Pai Mai This Ramen Noodle Salad (or as we call it, “Pai Mai”) is a staple salad in my husbands family. It is a great side dish or appetizer with Chinese food but it’s also a recipe we reach for often when we want a lighter meal. This is definitely one of the best ways to eat noodles. The ramen noodle salad has a lot of crisp to it between the crisp greens and the crunchy ramen noodles....

I’m a food processor person. Why? My mom’s a food processor person, and I grew up using one. (Also, I don’t like smoothies.) But full disclosure: I am now the proud owner of a blender, a food processor, and an immersion blender. I am an appliance hoarder! Also, I have destroyed multiple shoddy examples of each appliance, so my folly is your gain. Here’s how to know if you’d benefit more from owning a food processor or a blender....
But on a recent jaunt to San Francisco, of all places, I had an unexpected opportunity to try it. You can guess what happened next! I was in the city for work, but for all of my meals, I made a point to go out and tick another well-known San Francisco restaurant off of my bucket list. Arctic char amandine at Monsieur Benjamin? Check. The roast chicken at Zuni Cafe?...

As one of the five “mother” sauces in classic French cooking (Béchamel, Velouté, Espagnole, Hollandaise, and Sauce Tomat), velouté is a light ‘cream’ sauce made with chicken, fish, veal, or vegetable stock thickened with a blond roux of butter and flour. Once the roux, a combination of flour and fat, has cooked for a minute or two, you whisk in the stock and a little salt and cook for a few minutes....

The glaze we are using for this recipe couldn’t be easier to pull together. It uses orange marmalade, soy sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. We marinate the pork first in half of the glaze sauce, and then use the remaining sauce to coat the finished tenderloin. The secret to grilling pork tenderloin is to watch it carefully, with a meat thermometer in hand, because once it goes, it goes quickly....
