This is the third cake I tried from A Piece of Cake by Camilla Saulsbury and I must say it worked like a charm. I made it for dessert on a weeknight (as you can tell from the pics) when we had guests over and I made it alongside dinner. How many cakes can you say this about?

If you have yet to try it, adding pumpkin puree to macaroni and cheese makes everything creamier and even more delicious. I was amazed when I first tried it. Pumpkin really makes mac and cheese taste incredible! Use homemade pumpkin puree, or consider this recipe the perfect excuse for using leftover canned pumpkin during the Fall. I usually break out this recipe after making a batch of pumpkin scones or pumpkin spice lattes....

Snickerdoodles weren’t part of my childhood, but as an adult, I discovered them, and they quickly became my all-time favorite cookie.

For more of my favorite cookie recipes, see our homemade shortbread cookies, these easy chocolate chip cookies, and my favorite oatmeal cookies....

I love cooking fresh green beans in a skillet on the stovetop. It makes them so quick and easy. They’re seriously delicious, especially when you add my garlic butter to the skillet.

Once July rolls around, we make this grilled vegetables recipe just about every week. It’s perfect for mid-late summer, when all sorts of veggies are coming into season, and it’s too hot to turn on the oven. In my opinion, peppers, summer squash, onions, mushrooms, and corn are the best vegetables to grill. Cut into similar-sized pieces and skewered, they all cook at about the same rate. And when you slide them off the skewer, you get a mouthwatering mix of textures and flavors – the mushrooms are meaty, the corn is crisp, the squash is soft, and the peppers and onions are nicely sweet....

If your fridge is stuffed with zucchini but it’s too hot to make zucchini bread, crispy baked summer squash, or stuffed zucchini boats, what should you cook? Grilled zucchini, of course! A lot of the time, I grill zucchini along with a mix of other rainbow veggies, but lately, we’ve had so much of it on hand that I’ve been grilling it up on its own. Luckily for us, it’s a delicious summer side dish....

Three months ago, if someone had told me that Jack and I would start making homemade hamburger buns every week, I would have laughed. To me, hamburger buns seemed like something that only professional bakers could make. But since Jack’s been baking up a storm lately, the idea of homemade hamburger buns started to seem less and less crazy. If we could make bagels and bread, why not hamburger buns too?...

I love cooking with Guinness beer, and this beef stew is one of my favorite ways to use it. Dark beer makes the stew rich and unbelievably flavorful. It’s perfect for slowly simmering the meat until it becomes fall-apart tender. Believe it or not, beef stew is simple to make. This version, made with Guinness beer, is no different. You will need just over 2 hours. That’s not 2 hours hovering over a stove, though....

I am not a huge fan of crab but I did try the sauce and it was pretty creamy and.. salty. In a nice way. Pin As most restaurants in Singapore do, they offer fresh coconut water. Its delicious, especially after a hard day’s work. Anyway, the weather in Singapore always qualifies for chilled coconut water. Pin This here is sliced fish, served in a spicy sauce with tons and tons of curry leaves....

My husband Jack really loves kiwi. He grew up in Florida, so I always envisioned him growing up among kiwi trees. His grandfather had quite the green thumb, and Jack always tells stories of the fruits and vegetables they would pick and eat together. He talks about kiwi so much that I had just assumed that this tropical fruit was part of that picture as well. Last week when I was trying to dream up a unique salsa recipe, I thought kiwi would be fun and different, and most importantly – Jack would love it....

I love Indian breakfasts and the variety we have. I grew up eating three ‘proper’ hot meals a day and breakfast was a rotation between dosa, idli, puttu, idiyappam, poori, and occasionally chapati. We had toast about once a month when my mom felt like it and it was always the soft bakery fresh bread toasted with home-made butter and had with either peanut butter or Kissan fruit jam. I miss those mornings....

Mexican wedding cookies are one of my favorite holiday treats. They have a rich, nutty flavor and a texture so delicate that they practically melt in your mouth.

If I were stuck on an island and allowed one thing from my kitchen, it would be Nutella. If Adam and I were stuck on an island together and he had one thing from our kitchen, I would make him choose Nutella. For this bread pudding recipe, I use croissants slathered with Nutella instead of the traditional brioche bread. It’s amazing and one of my favorite ways to use Nutella!...
