I adore Dorie Greenspan's La Palette's Strawberry Tart if you're looking for something really simple. You bake the tart shell, then assemble each piece as you eat it, makes it easy if you ar...

Oh boy, I can see lots of money being spent there! Love muffin cup liners, so many to choose from.

I tested a Pear and Cranberry chopped salad for CI that is now one of our favorites. I believe it's the July issue of Cooks Illustrated that has recipes for several versions. I also ...

Made a great meal with my dad, Individual Beef Wellington's with Madeira Mushroom sauce--incredible. Grilled Balsamic vegetables, Boursin mashed potatoes, and cheese straws. Getting r...

Just looking at that picture of the grilled artichoke with dip makes me so jealous! That's a festival I would certainly enjoy! Fried artichokes sound pretty tasty too.

We use flour sack towels as a base in some cabinets to keep things from sliding around. Then we use paper towels to separate larger pans or lids and pans, and coffee filters between the 10" and sma...

Add some red pepper flakes to the garlic, olive oil, s & p, and you've got one of my favorite side dishes.

I definitely like all of TJ's pasta, and Whole Foods 365 is good too. Kind of surprised Barilla was so low, but I only use their no-boil lasagna noodles.

Our kitchen is surely larger than that house, but I will say I love the IKEA kitchen rails for kitchens of any size. The variety of hanging items is great, from hooks, to small spice ...

I get to Columbus once every 2-3 months and thanks to Faith's raving Jeni's has become a favorite stop! My 3 favorites are Gravel Road--salty caramel with almonds, Thai Chili, and Queen City Cayenn...

A few things, I roasted my first chicken Sunday and it was incredible--yes I realize I'm one of few on the planet who didn't grow up on roasted chicken! I will be doing it again, and again. ...

Another recommendation for the OXO pictured on the far right. Great for pancakes, cookies, even keeps fish together pretty well.

I want to thank you for posts like this. My kitchen has become a place of not only happiness, but health for me, and appreciating the small things is what I must do every single day. I...

Baking sheets, the pro 13 x 18 found at restaurant supply stores, a cooling rack that fits inside those sheets (great for roasting), and parchment paper.

Oh yes, I also like to use slivered almonds on top, the variations of jams that you can use are endless! If you use puff pastry, you can put these together in minutes. This week I made...

That shirt is fantastic! When my sister jumped off the vegetarian wagon, after about 12 years, her first food was bacon. Now she eats plenty of meat, and our oldest sister is vegetaria...

Wow, I never thought of using it as a dough proofer! THANKS! I got one last summer and it is a fabulous way to preserve all the herbs my mom grows. I was just thinking this week that w...

My simmer on the stove for 3.5 hours worked wonderfully. Took out the meat to a warm oven, and put the veggies in the dutch oven for half an hour, with the last 12 minutes adding the cabbage. Plent...

I have been corning my brisket since last Tuesday and can't wait to cook it tomorrow! I use Cooks Illustrated's recipe, I've never tasted too much salt--though I'll admit I'm on a high salt diet du...

Today I made oatmeal/walnut/cranberry soda bread, I'm eager to cut into it and smother it with butter. I haven't had this kind before. I also like mine on the sweeter side, and guess ...
