It’s as if these gooey caramel apple bars know the secret melody to my heart. Every time I am within three feet of my kitchen (ahem, anytime I’m home and not asleep), they sing me a sweet siren love song, and I am left with no option but to sneak another bite. Their allure is unstoppable, and I have neither the will nor the desire to resist. Caramel apple bars are just one of those desserts—the ones you can’t stay away from (like this Vegan Apple Crisp)....

I think we can all agree that any form of bread smothered in butter, garlic and parmesan cheese is a winner so I don’t think it’ll take too much convincing for you to try these garlic knots! They’re made from two ingredient dough (flour and Greek yoghurt) which means no yeast is required and they can be ready in under 30 minutes. Why not make a double batch of the dough and make this Roast Pumpkin Pizza for the ultimate carb night in?...

It was a damp November day. We’d been going for hours and were tired and hungry (ever feel that way after work?). We followed our noses to a tucked-away basement restaurant, grabbed our picture menus, and pointed at what looked like the ideal meal for the moment: juicy chicken breaded, fried, and served with a sweet, sticky Asian sauce often called tonkatsu. It was simple, satiating, and exactly what the moment needed....

When I began cooking for myself, I quickly learned the value of a keeping a few pantry staples in stock so that (in theory) I could always pull together a healthy meal, even on the busiest weeknight. It served me well, but now that I’m cooking more frequently, I’ve noticed a bit of an issue with my once-reliable strategy. I never actually use them. About This Chipotle Chicken Skillet Instead of relying on the friendly cans of black beans and chickpeas, expertly frozen chicken breasts, and long-lasting root veggies like onions and sweet potatoes that I so faithfully stock, I fall prey to the “shiny object” phenomenon....

These cutie little morsels are packed with peanut butter and chocolate, pillowy soft, and taste like chocolate chip cookie dough. Oh, and they also happen to be Paleo friendly, low carb, gluten free, dairy free…and I’m probably forgetting a dietary adjective, but the point is MAKE THEM. They are delicious and healthy, come without regrets, and the dark chocolate chips seal the deal. They are not a dessert intended for nibbling, dainty bites, or (at least in my case when I’m near anything combining peanut butter and chocolate) self restraint of any kind....

I realize that cooking barley risotto at your own wedding presents a few logistical concerns. My dress would undoubtedly get in the way, serving everyone at the same time would be tricky, and the pot would be so large, I’d pass out before I finished stirring. Despite the challenges, I can’t help but fall for the idea of making risotto for everyone I cherish most, because to me—perhaps more than any other dish—risotto says, “I love you” and “We are good enough friends that I can cook in front you while consuming conspicuous amounts of wine....
