Preparation Five years after meeting at work—they both had careers in digital advertising—Moses and Julia invited a group of friends to Durango, Colorado, for the weekend. “One day we all went on an evening hike down to a beautiful river bank,” says Julia. “Moses pulled me to the side to go walk in the water and then he popped the question! It was a total surprise.” Their August 2020 engagement allowed the couple plenty of time to plan their wedding for October 2, 2021, at Bishop’s Lodge in Santa Fe, New Mexico—the bride’s home state....

Preparation After getting engaged in Quebec City in 2019, high school sweethearts Caroline and Jeremy planned their wedding for 2021—but eventually decided to push their 165-person celebration to March 26, 2022 to accommodate COVID-19 safety guidelines. “In the meantime, however, we decided on an intimate church ceremony in Kansas, where we currently reside, while waiting for our big wedding,” says Caroline.

I have been creating recipes for Smithfield for a couple of years now- using all of their marinated fresh pork (pork loins, tenderloins, loin filets and sirloins). I love that they’re pre-marinated and seasoned. It makes preparing dinner so much easier, and I can usually get food on the table in less than 30 minutes.

There is something to be said for having a good arsenal of carb-loving side dish recipes at hand. Whether it is rice, potatoes, quinoa, pasta or couscous… it is nice to have quite a few options to choose from when you’re serving up dinner. And if you’re anything like me, you’re usually looking for the magic three: main dish, side dish and vegetable. My sister called me a couple weeks ago and said, “You need more couscous recipes on RecipeGirl!...

Preparation Planning a destination wedding is more often than not more challenging than planning a hometown wedding. While the components are still the same—ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception—there are additional nuances to consider, including time differences, language barriers, and local rules and customs. That begs the question: If you’re planning a destination wedding and want to hire a wedding planner, should you work with someone who is local to you or local to the destination?...

When I make tacos or enchiladas or some other kind of Mexican meal, I’m always trying to find good side dishes to go with a good Mexican dish. More often than not, I grab a box of Spanish rice from the market and make that. But my family gets so tired of having the same thing. This Fiesta Rice is much more flavorful and substantial than plain ‘ol Spanish rice....

But sometimes your soft cookies can become hard and tough. No one wants to bite into a rock....

Hope you enjoyed the NYC tour 🙂 All of that, and would you even believe that I lost two pounds that week?? Small tastes and daily hotel workouts were my secret… and a bit of city walking too.

Ohhhhh, it’s that time again. That time when we have a bunch of over-ripe bananas sitting around on the counter and we don’t really want to make banana bread… yet again. Let’s make muffins instead! I really love banana bread, but I probably love muffins even more. The fact that you can wrap them individually and pop them into the freezer for eating sporadically is very appealing to me. If a whole loaf of banana bread is staring me in the face… well, then I’m gonna stuff my face until it’s gone....

Preparation Quicker than quiche but just as satisfying, frittatas are a great dish to anchor an easy weeknight dinner. They’re especially fun to make in the springtime when tender, quick-cooking vegetables of all types begin cropping up just begging to be sautéed and paired with eggs. You can often whip up a frittata in one-pan, either a good nonstick skillet or well-seasoned cast-iron pan. With a foundation of eggs, which have a long shelf life, and a flexible ingredient list (i....

I’ve wanted to make a bucket list for a while… you know what a bucket list is, right? A list of things that you totally want to do sometime before you die?

There are zillions of recipes out there, I want to try anything and (most) everything), so here’s my bucket list of recipes I want to make sometime in the next 50 or so years!...
