I love Jenny. I really do. Her blog is great and I love her practicality, honesty, and humor. And I have to say, the book's a good deal, too - I paid $17 for it on Amazon, which is as reasonable a price as I can ever remember paying for a new cookbook.

The perfect brownie has multiple textures - dense and super chocolatey with a crispy edge and a thin, crackly layer on top. Made from scratch and, for pete's sake, no frosting. Brownie Philosophy: Chewy, Cakey or Fudgy? |

I've been making this regularly for a few years and I love it! So good and so easy to throw together on a weekday. It has become a staple in our house... but I will say that it doesn't age very well - next-day leftovers are fine but past that, it gets grainy. Luckily it's so good (and the recipe isn't scaled very large), so leftovers aren't usually a problem! And I agree that reducing the butter by a tablespoon or two doesn't hurt the flavor at all.

did the same thing years ago with 'Goodnight Moon' - hung some of the black and white pages in a series above the bed in the house I grew up in. I haven't lived there in a long time but I love sleeping underneath them when I visit! Before and After: Using Children's Books as Art |

Can I second terrym2442's request?! I'm planning to purchase the Colette bed from C&B, which I've loved for a long time. But it's a platform bed and those are totally new to me... I'm wondering if anyone who owns one has suggestions on how to tackle the mattress situation? Preview: Embody Memory Foam by Sealy A Year in Bed Project |

I have a newer cast iron pan and I'm having fun learning to cook things in it (admittedly having less fun in my attempt to be responsible and keep it clean, dry, and seasoned). Sometimes it feels like the inside of the pan is perpetually... sticky, almost. Anyone else noticed that? How To Clean a Cast Iron Skillet Home Hacks | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |

This looks so fun! But does anyone know where I can find some inexpensive plain white throw pillow covers? It's not as easy as I figured it would be... Apartment Therapy Los Angeles | Easy DIY: Using Fabric Markers |

I'm sorry- I do have to say that I'm surprised a site like AT, which frequently highlights environmentally-friendly ideas, would feature a politician whose record is so lacking where the environment is concerned. (And how must the same-sex couples you've featured on House Tours feel, given his voting record against gay marriage?) Apartment Therapy DC | A Missouri Senator's Serene Home Home Design |

My grandmother raised my mom to believe that pumpkin pie MUST be made with a tablespoon of blackstrap molasses added to the standard back-of-the-can recipe. Now that my grandmother is no longer able to bake, and given that my entire family expects the pie to taste a certain way, it is a given that I'm supposed to add it every year. It's our one tradition! Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | What's the Deal with Blackstrap Molasses? |
