This isn’t a very sophisticated recipe, but it’s also the recipe my husband eats as if he will be fasting for the following week. His eyes get kind of teary whenever I make this; he’ll show up for dinner early when he knows it’s on the menu. It’s nothing new under the sun, but once you try this delightful stovetop dish, you will understand the deepest meaning of the word crowd-pleaser. And it all cooks in one skillet. Even the pasta, which cooks right in the sauce! I know, I know — it’s the little things. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/02/26/recipe-one-skillet-cheesy-beef-and-macaroni-recipes-from-the-kitchn/

When it comes to getting dinner on the table with minimal effort and just 30 minutes on the clock, I firmly believe that the sheet pan is your number-one ally to make it happen. This workhorse is one of the keys to miracle meals — that dinner you manage to pull off against all odds — with the added bonus of easy cleanup. Because they’re so reliable, it’s worth adding a sheet pan dinner to your meal plan at least once a week. If you’re looking for some good ideas, we’ve got 18 for you. From colorful chicken fajitas and crispy chicken thighs to steak and pizza, there’s a recipe here to save you some time. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/02/26/18-sheet-pan-suppers-ready-in-30-minutes-recipes-from-the-kitchn/ Even if you’ve never been to New Orleans, you probably have a picture of it in your mind: brass bands marching through narrow streets, brightly colored Creole cottages, Mardi Gras beads raining down from the sky, and of course the food: roast beef po’ boys, gleaming platters of oysters, bowls of steaming gumbo, and fat muffuletta sandwiches. That was the picture in my mind anyway when I moved to New Orleans in 2014, having never visited before. I found that New Orleans, to be sure — it’s the one most visitors come here to see — but as a local I also came to know a less raucous (but no less delicious) side of the city, full of neighborly warmth and relaxed charm. In our Bite-Sized Guide to New Orleans, we’ll offer a glimpse of the city everyone knows and loves — but it’s in this other, less travelled New Orleans that we will be spending most of our time, strolling slowly under the oak trees, sipping strong iced coffee, and chatting with some New Orleanians about what they love about this place. It’s going to be fun, y’all. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/02/26/a-bite-sized-guide-to-new-orleans-bite-sized-guide-new-orleans/ From Apartment Therapy → How To Clean and Season an Old, Rusty Cast Iron Skillet via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/02/26/heres-how-to-clean-and-season-an-old-rusty-cast-iron-skillet-apartment-therapy/ Ever feel like you’re om-ing right to the universe? You’re not alone. And now, literally, you’re not alone, thanks to the folks at the Rubin Museum who want you to join in the largest collective chant of “om” the world has ever known. Since the beginning of February, visitors to NYC’s Rubin Museum of Art […] via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/02/26/lend-your-voice-to-worlds-largest-collection-of-om/ Maybe we’ve been watching too many red-carpet specials (to be fair, it is awards show season), but we can’t get enough sparkly, shiny gold stuff. Gold salad servers? Sure! A gold crock to hold those salad servers? Duh! Gold lettuce? Why isn’t there gold lettuce? Gold is always fun — and it’s especially fun for birthday festivities. You could show a little restraint with a touch of gold here and touch of gold there. Or you could add all the gold. You can’t really lose either way. Luckily, there’s no shortage of glitzy party supplies and decorations available. Is your birthday coming up? Go for the gold with these ideas. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/02/25/7-ways-to-add-gold-to-any-birthday-party-birthday-of-the-month/ New Orleans is definitely a contender for most delicious city in the United States (the world?). If you are planning a visit, you are basically guaranteed to leave very full and very happy — and with a list of things to do as long as the one you arrive with. The only real problem (and it’s a very good problem to have) is figuring out what to do now and what to save for your next trip. A former resident and frequent visitor, my trips to New Orleans are a balancing act between the new restaurants that has everyone buzzing and the places I can’t not visit whenever I’m in town. And I have to confess: My list of things I always do hasn’t changed much in the past decade. Here’s what makes the cut. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/02/25/5-things-everyone-should-do-in-new-orleans-bite-sized-guide-new-orleans/ So you took our advice and decided to build yourself an indoor fort. Yay for you! We totally support indoor forts staying up as long as possible — after all, you did go through all that effort — but if you’re not sure how long is too long, just ask yourself these five questions. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/02/25/how-long-is-too-long-to-leave-up-your-indoor-fort-fort-fantasy/ What do you think of when you think of Southern food? Fried chicken? Red velvet cake? Sweet potato pie? If you don’t immediately say vegetables, you’ve got Southern cooking all wrong. Vegetable cookery has a hallowed place in Southern cuisine, with a few of the most nutritious vegetables standing out: okra, cabbage, and dark leafy greens of all kinds. Southern cooking has the ability to take these nutritional powerhouses and turn them into comfort food of the finest caliber. Here are five recipes that will teach you how to cook vegetables like a Southerner. These are weeknight-friendly, soulful, and delicious dishes that make vegetables the most exciting and beloved food on the plate. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/02/25/5-ways-the-south-turns-vegetables-into-healthy-comfort-food-recipes-from-the-kitchn/ The first time I made a crazy cake, it was a few days after 9/11. At the time, I lived in Wisconsin with my boyfriend and the world felt sharp and uncertain. After spending countless hours on the couch, I needed something to do that would get me away from the TV. Baking seemed like a good idea. A recipe on the back of the Wooden Spoon Baking Book caught my eye, “This cake is mixed right in the pan, without an egg to help it rise. The crazy part is that it turns out so well.” Something easy that turns out well? Just what I needed. Fifteen years later, that boyfriend is now my husband, we live in New York, and the world, well, you know — at times, it feels sharp and uncertain. I still make the crazy cake. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/02/25/recipe-one-bowl-chocolate-wacky-cake-easy-dessert-recipes/ |
