After buying my first house, I decided to re-do the kitchen. I wanted to do it "right" and forgo a lot of the first-timer reno mistakes. A patient of mine (who happens to live in my neighborhood) r...

Zuba, where the heck are you finding frozen broccoli raab?

Earl Grey and chocolate are a fabulous combo. My former boss used to have me over to her house and make me earl grey tea with shaved chocolate. The flavors are divine.

We have a gray bedroom. Love it. As a midwife, I work some long hours, and sleeping during the day is a regular occurrence for me... so we also painted the ceiling (which is fairly high) a darker, ...

I'm about to complete a huge kitchen reno. Countertops options have been weighing on me for a while now. The Home Depot marketing imagery for granite that showed it being mined from these big, gorg...

I made chocolate chip cookies instead of exercising today. It's just too cold out. I'm also roasting lots of winter green things in the oven with olive oil, sriracha, sea salt, and ses...

I love love love frozen brocs. I can sautee it up fast with garlic, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, and some minced ginger. Or, add it to just about any dish. I love throwing it in when boiling pasta...

The hashed sprouts that were just posted to the Kitchn site are high on the list. My kitchen is in reno right now (cooking out of a make-shift kitchen in the basement,) so anything too fancy is on ...

Oh, and as a former Nashvillian, I can vouch for K&S down in good ol' Music City.

Baltimore has H-Mart, which I think may be a chain but it's a-w-e-s-o-m-e!

Let me start by stating that both the bf and I are vegan, so we understand your predicament. You are standing at a fork in the road. It'd be fine to bring a dish, especially if you clear it with th...

The Joy is good for making "classic" versions of most dishes. Google often produces less than traditional, varied versions of recipes, but the JOC is a good go-to book for the original, mainstream ...

Many of the former responses are very well worded, so I'll be brief. One of the primary reasons I initially went vegan was environmentalism, not animal ethics. I don't think we can ign...

The baklava is vegan! Yay! I think I'm going to make it for my work's holiday potluck.

As a nurse-practitioner, I can attest that it's incredibly important to eat breakfast from a health perspective. It helps maintain metabolism level and supports cortisol (which affects how our bodi...

My bedroom has a dark grey ceiling, a shade slightly darker than the grey walls. I often am sleeping during the days due to a crazy work schedule, so the darkness is soothing during the day. I like...

Everyone's had great suggestions! Especially the part about one-handed foods and late-night snacks! I'm actually a nurse-midwife, so when considering what foods a new mama should have,...

"Organize" was the design challenge for both the man and me. I took the recommendation to heart and bought a pretty little silver waste basket to keep near the door. My junk mail and trash goes in ...

Like modern stoves, not all vintage stoves are created equal. I own a Chambers, which I purchased from a salvage store for a [relative] song and then restored. It was a little bit of a project, but...

I was kind of sad to see the vintage range gone too. I own a Chambers stove, which has been the reason for my kitchen renovation.
