Easter is an explosion of my favorite colors: pastels. Baby blue seersucker dresses, mint green tablescapes, lavender sun hats—even the pink plastic grass in my Easter basket. I know it’s a choking hazard for my dog, but I love it. It wouldn’t be a true pastel day without dyeing Easter eggs. Now, as a pastel fiend, you’d think I’d […]
Decorating Cupcakes Like A Pro
I get intimidated by cupcakes. Not the baking part—that's easy. Line a muffin tray with pastel baking cups. Bake. Frost. Or, that’s what cupcakes used to be. It’s the decorating that gets me. I blame all the cake decorating shows. Everyone wants to WOW with cupcakes. I can’t WOW. I can bake a great-tasting cupcake, but why do I have […]
Great Home Knife Sharpener
By Contributor Brianne Britzius I think that most cooks of all levels would agree that the most important kitchen tool is a sharp knife. It does the work of chopping and slicing for you so that you aren't sawing and hacking away at your ingredients — and possibly your fingers! But what about when your knives become dull? In the […]

Unexpected Pots of Gold
Post by food blogger Regan Jones, R.D., The Professional Palate Everybody knows Santa sneaks down the chimney on Christmas Eve and bestows upon dreamy residents a sackful of presents.

Pantry Dinner: Spaghetti with Tuna & White Beans
I'm a big believer in a well-stocked pantry (tuna, beans, several types of pasta, canned tomatoes, and chicken stock are always in there!), and it really pays of when you need to make dinner in a hurry. And one night last week was a pantry dinner night; we got home late and needed to eat in under 20 minutes. […]

French or Ranch?
I love making my own salad dressing. If you've never tried it, these two recipes from Family Feasts for $75 a Week are a great place to start. Both come together in 5 minutes flat and cost less than half of what you'd pay in the store for ready-made. I've found that pint-sized canning jars work great for dressing mixing […]
