Crispy roasted Brussels sprouts are heaped over a delicious yogurt sauce spiked with lemon and fresh mint. This dish is easy enough for a weeknight, yet elegant enough for any holiday table!

One of the many things that make me feel like I've passed into a new age bracket is the magazine Real Simple. I am now a subscriber. How can that be? It doesn't seem like that long ago that I was fighting with my mom in CVS about whether I was old enough to read YM. And it feels like just yesterday ...

I have two vivid memories from Easter growing up. The first is the time my dad put all the tabs of Easter egg dye in the same cup, and we ended up with mottled brown eggs. The second is the time I threw an epic tantrum in a children's clothing store when my mother refused to buy me a fancy Easter ...

When I was growing up, I had a friend who's house smelled amazing. It was like cinnamon and apples, but also sort of smoky and woodsy. Looking back, I'm pretty sure it was a Glade Plugin or something, but at the time I thought her mom was a homemaking genius.  I am not a homemaking ...

When you have a kid in daycare, you get sick. Like a lot. When Owen was five months old, and about eight weeks after he had started daycare, I woke up in the middle of the night sicker than I can ever remember. I was convinced I had food poisoning, and since we had invited a friend over for dinner ...

I adore roasted Brussels sprouts as much as the next veggie lover, but I think that it's important to remember that there are other ways to enjoy them besides blasting them at high heat and showering them with bacon bits. Brussels sprouts can be light, crunchy and refreshing! They can even be a ...

This is my 100th blog post! I almost didn't notice, but last week I was doing some updates and realized that I was at 97. So of course, I had to plan something celebratory for today.    But before we get to this week's drink, how about some fun links from around the web to help kick ...

Emeril’s Marinated Mushrooms

July 21, 2015 2 Comments

I've written before about how many, many of my cookbooks are stored in my mother-in-law's basement. I was down there earlier this week, and I'm not sure why, exactly, but I picked up a copy of Emeril's Potluck. Maybe it was nostalgia. When I was fresh out of college and working as an editorial ...
