When it comes to banana bread, I always hit up the same recipe (this one, in case you’re curious). It’s loaded with chocolate chips, it’s not too sweet, and it’s never dry or Wonder Bread-y. But sometimes, I don’t want to deal with all of those ingredients. Or, more accurately, I don’t want to buy […]

It’s the Great (Stuffed) Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!
Quin-whaaat?! I know, I know — this recipe seems way off from our usual stuff, but we wanted to try something new. Something a little bit out there. And that’s how we found ourselves peeling, deseeding and cubing a pumpkin at 9:38 on a Thursday night, all to come up with a quinoa, sausage and […]

If you somehow wind up with extra Halloween candy this year — or you go HAM at the grocery store, only to realize you can’t be trusted with such a bounty mere feet away from you — you’ve got to try these Candy Corn Magic Bars. These gooey bars are totally customizable, so you can […]
Chilaquiles Are the Cheap, Easy Breakfast You’re Long Overdue to Make
When somebody first explained chilaquiles to me, I had some reservations. You mean you pour a salsa and chicken broth-based mixture over tortilla chips and bake it? Doesn’t that turn into a soggy, gloppy mess? And does it really have that much flavor, given the minimal ingredients it uses? I grew up in a loaded-nachos […]
Ranch-Roasted Chickpeas Will Be Your New Favorite Snack
When people name healthy snacks, the list is usually pretty predictable: Baby carrots, apples, nonfat Greek yogurt, mixed nuts, granola, celery with peanut butter, popcorn (light on the butter). Those are great, but after you’ve had them week after week, year after year, it’s hard to muster up excitement for more of the same. Sometimes […]
What to Cook When It’s FREEZING Cold Outside
There doesn’t have to be a blizzard heading your way for it to be too freaking cold to step outside (especially when Netflix or a great book is calling your name). On those days, when hour 4 of your favorite show suddenly feels monotonous and you just need to do something, try cooking up one […]
Cozy Up with Roasted Broccoli Spaghetti
If you’re like oh, pretty much everyone, you’ve probably resolved to live a little healthier this year, whether that means eating out less, hitting the gym more, sneaking a few extra vegetables into your diet, or some combination of the three. Often, ‘eating healthy’ turns into salad, salad and more salad. And the occasional broth-based […]
12 Gifts That Show Off Your School Spirit
If you belong to an SEC or Big 10 school, you can find just about anything bearing your university’s colors. ANYTHING. However, in recent years, the variety of spirited swag is reaching an increasing number of colleges (even the ones without a litany of National Championship titles under their name!), making the ways you can […]
Last-Minute Halloween Dessert: Graveyard Chocolate Pudding Cups
Growing up, Graveyard pudding — complete with Cool Whip-blob ghosts and Milano cookie tombstones — seemed like it was featured in every woman’s magazine my mom read. I saw it everywhere, but I never actually had it in real life. Worms and dirt, sure, but not the towering wonder that was a full-blown jiggly dessert cemetery. […]
Apple Nachos: The 5-Minute Appetizer You’ve Been Craving
I’m a big fan of nachos of all varieties — from classic ground beef to tater tot-chos, breakfast nachos to dessert ones (hello, s’mores!). But they all tend to feel pretty heavy after a few bites. Not these nachos. Well, depending how you load ’em up. You can make apple nachos in just a few […]
