Creme de Violette was popular in the early 1900s, and it’s making a bit of a comeback. While its biggest claim to fame is its beautiful purple hue, it also boasts light floral notes that make one killer cocktail. It earns its unique flavor and purple coloring from violet buds and blossoms. On its own, it tastes floral but shines when mixed into these creme de Violette cocktails. Make your next cocktail party fancy and floral (and impress your guests)....
Hearts of palm is like the jackfruit of the vegan world. But some may argue it’s even more versatile. From calamari to carnitas, it’s a stellar substitute for seafood and meat.

They are a great complement to a variety of sweet and savory dishes. 6 Best Substitutes for Currant 1. Cherries How about cherries?

Did you have to look twice to make sure they really are bread crusts? Yes, they are! A couple of weeks ago, I shared my savoury solution to getting through a ridiculously large bag of bread crusts that were stockpiled in my freezer – Parmesan and Thyme Bread Crust Treats. Today I’m sharing the sweet version. “They taste like cinnamon doughnuts, only crunchy and a whole lot healthier and faster to make!...
We all love easy recipes and it truly doesn’t get much easier than this. We use our favorite dijon or stone ground mustard and combine it with honey for the perfect glaze for fresh salmon filets. No marinating, no special preparation, just combine the 2 ingredients, brush it on the salmon, and into the air fryer it goes. A short time later, you won’t believe how beautiful and delicious this salmon will be!...
Preparation Moods are a driving force in our daily lives. Good or bad, whatever you’re feeling will probably impact your entire day. While most of us have a handle on how we feel (and understand why we feel it), every now and then, a positive or negative mood can sneak up on us with seemingly no explanation. When this happens, you might want to turn your mind towards food, since how and what you eat is linked to those mental ups and downs....
Preparation The first human who decided to open an oyster shell in order to get to the meat inside was probably watching birds crack them on a rocky shore. It’s not as easy for us as it is for the birds—that determined person must have struggled for a long time before they were finally able to open the shell. Or maybe they realized while sitting by a blazing fire one evening that they could let the heat do all the work for them; when left over an open flame, the bivalve’s shells popped open quickly, revealing the juicy, cooked meat inside....
Who doesn’t love chicken parm? Made with crispy battered chicken coated in sweet marinara and melty cheese, this dish is Italian comfort food at its best. But let’s be honest. With all its many components, it’s not the simplest dish to whip up. That’s why whenever I make chicken parm, I make it a point to at least double the recipe. That way, I get to have another batch ready and waiting for me....
Preparation Why do hearty main dishes get all of the attention when March 17 arrives each year? When it comes to celebrating the Emerald Isle, at least on this side of the Atlantic, it’s all about highlighting corned beef and cabbage and Irish stew. While these mains are St. Patrick’s Day staples, we think it’s high time some of the easy but delicious Irish baked goods got more respect. Yes, we’re talking about soda bread, but that’s not the only doughy delight we’ve got in mind....
Preparation Meghan Markle might have planned and executed a royal wedding, but getting married in front of the Queen of England wasn’t how she imagined her nuptials would unfold as a young girl. On the latest episode of her podcast, Archetypes, the Duchess of Sussex revealed that she actually planned her dream wedding as a teenager. “When I was 14, I planned my wedding,” she said. “Not my actual wedding—that would’ve been a bit harder to imagine....

When I look at that map, I think… omg, we really drove all that way?! Yikes. It was fun though- trust me! We were starving when we arrived in Philly, so we immediately went to Reading Terminal Market. It’s Philadelphia’s historic farmer’s market- a big place full of food vendors, crafts, flowers and Amish goods too! I had seen some of the vendors/restaurants featured on Food Network/Travel Channel before, so this was definitely a must-see-and-sample-the-goods kind of place!...
Preparation First impressions matter—something that is particularly true of the front of your home. Since everyone from your guests and neighbors to the mailman regularly see and interact with this area, boosting its curb appeal makes sense. But, before you become laser-focused on the color of your front door or the style of your mailbox, you might want to turn your attention to the landscaping surrounding your porch, should you have one....

They’re festive, versatile, and food-friendly, pairing with everything from fried chicken to oysters. If you’re stuck on a wine pairing, sparkling wines do the trick every time.
