Lately on Instagram...

Back when I was a full time magazine editor, I entered a chestnut soup recipe in a soup contest at work. I won (of course!) and my prize was that I got to work in the Hearst corporate cafeteria for the day making and serving soup to hundreds of people. A dubious prize that probably violated some kind of employment regulations (and I literally had to use up half a vacation day to do it!), but I just remember being thrilled to leave my desk and play in the kitchen instead. Now I fortunately get to do both! Just posted a recipe for this decadently-garnished creamy chestnut soup that would be great as a Thanksgiving starter, or to enjoy anytime during these dreary late-fall/winter days!
I remember once seeing a lady on TV say that you shouldn’t put appetizers out before thanksgiving because it’s “too much food” and I was like “excuse me but there’s always room for apps!” What do you usually serve for guests?
Red is the only color
Hope it’s not too early to think about leftovers! These cranberry sauce crostini were one of my favorite snacks last year. Garlic-rubbed baguette toasts topped with tangy goat cheese and a generous dollop of homemade cranberry sauce. Makes a great Fall party app, too!
Coquito, but make it vegan! I shared my dairy-free coquito recipe on the blog this week. I use soaked raw cashews to thicken the coconut base so it’s just as lush and creamy as the original.
Eggs on things.
This weather makes me want to stock up on a few good reads. What books have you been reading and loving lately?
That tree in front of my apartment window is one of my favorite things.
Have you ever baked with preserved lemons? They’re so good in this Cranberry & Preserved Lemon loaf cake...and check out that crunchy lemon-sugar topping! Recipe is #ontheblog #alwaysorderdessert
Had to wear this fisherman hat because of the rain, but still did the thing! Have you voted yet? #govote #election2018
I made a couple dozen of these tissue paper flowers for my TODAY Show party segment last week, but the craft ended up getting cut at the last second. I didn’t want to just throw them out, so I brought them back home and made arrangements with them.
This DIY Chex Mix bar I made last year is a fun idea for cozy Fall parties and family get togethers!
