Preparation Looking for something new to sip on this summer? As per usual, Martha has the answer. Our founder recently took to social media to share her recipe for a new cocktail, which she has fittingly coined “Cointreau Kiss.” The warm-weather beverage is “good as a cocktail, as a nightcap or anytime!” she wrote in an Instagram post. Of course, we had to try it for ourselves and Martha isn’t wrong—this is the drink of summer....

Preparation Despite its monumental influence on Italian food as we know it today, and despite Jews having lived in Italy for thousands of years, author Benedetta Jasmine Guetta says Jewish-Italian food is a culinary heritage mostly unknown. The population of Jews in Italy today, she says, is just too small. Guetta wrote Cooking alla Giudia ($40, indiebound.com) to teach about this storied culinary history, and to help preserve it. “I have visited congregations big and small all around Italy, spoken with home cooks young and old, and I have come across a very sad finding,” she says....

Preparation The only thing better than a beautiful succulent plant is a gorgeous succulent garden. “Whether planted in an area of your outdoor garden or placed together indoors in different containers, succulents look great in groups,” says plant expert James McCann of Plants.com. “Get creative and combine forms and colors for an inspired design. Their unusual colors, textures, and forms make living art objects in any home or garden.” Along with creating visual interest, succulent gardens are also incredibly easy to care for....

They’re larger than life and ideal for parties. Known for their sweet flavors and super fun names, tiki drinks are also pretty potent.

Preparation The kitchen has always been an integral room in our homes. This couldn’t be more true now: After spending the majority of the past two years at home—and making breakfast, lunch, and dinner there, as well—we gained a new appreciation for our culinary hubs. Since theses spaces are the heart of our homes, they should dress the part, too. To help give your space a much-deserved—and perhaps much-needed—makeover, we asked several designers and home experts about the kitchen trends they think will make it big in 2022....

With the Instant Pot, you’ll get a succulent and flavorful dish without fail. For today’s round-up, I’ve put together 23 pork recipes you can cook with your Instant Pot....

They’re cupcakes filled with something else. I suppose you could also call them stuffed cupcakes or even cupcake surprises, which sounds more fun. The surprise, of course, would be whatever tasty addition you weren’t expecting once you bit down into the confection. The filled cupcakes on this list include all kinds of different things – everything from chocolate, caramel, and Nutella to mango curd and slime. (Yes! Slime! – Completely edible, of course....

Camping is one of those wonderfully versatile activities that you can do with anyone. It can be romantic, family-friendly, or a little wild. It’s something almost everyone knows how to do. When it comes to camping recipes, though, many of us are still way behind the times. Eating around a campfire no longer means breaking open cold, pre-packed sandwiches, roasting marshmallows, or heating cans of baked beans. These 30 camping recipes will prove that just because you’re enjoying the rustic life for a few days doesn’t mean you have to limit yourself at mealtime....

For people with a huge sweet tooth (like me!) restrictive dieting doesn’t work. That’s why I love Weight Watchers! You can indulge in yummy sweets while still technically following a “diet.” Although with these recipes, “diet” will be the furthest thing from your mind. Between the ice cream sandwiches, creamy homemade popsicles, and tender muffins, these Weight Watchers desserts are downright sinful. Healthy Weight Watchers Desserts Everyone Will Love 1....

Whether you’re looking for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert ideas, I have you covered. When you think of cream cheese, you probably picture something rich and indulgent. However, cream cheese isn’t a carb-heavy food. It’s a little high in calories and fat, but there are very few carbs in it. That’s why these keto cream cheese recipes are perfect for low-carb diets. Are you on the ketogenic diet? Are you just cutting back on your carb count?...

From sweet to savory and everything in between, they’re sure to put a smile on everyone’s face. Ho, ho, ho, it’s that time of year again!

These stunning Christmas brunch recipes are perfect for any holiday celebration, but especially on the big day itself....

And between the enchilada sauce, cilantro sauce, and salsa verde, it’s hard to pick just one. Most people reach for the same old salsa and call it a day. But that’s only one of the many delicious Mexican condiments to enjoy. Some double as delectable dips, while others work as marinades. But no matter what, they all taste fantastic. I like any of these on my plate of tostadas, especially the guajillo chile salsa!...

Preparation A big bird isn’t for everyone, and this Thanksgiving might just be the one to part with tradition and try an alternative main that will be met with just as much—or more—enthusiasm. If not turkey, then what? The selections here are just as dazzling as a whole or carved bird and beautiful enough to stand on their own. Whichever entrée you pick, don’t let the fact that it’s a nontraditional choice hold you back from making plenty of the arguably more important holiday sides....

Preparation Although the word “fajita” refers to the type of meat traditionally used in this dish (skirt steak), there are endless variations. Chicken, shrimp, and vegetarian—you name it! All are fair game. One thing all fajitas tend to have in common is that the main ingredients are cut and cooked, then piled into a tortilla, often with cooked peppers and onions. Here, we’re highlighting our go-to fajita recipes, including a classic steak fajitas made with skirt steak, easy chicken fajitas made using one sheet pan, and less expected options like shrimp fajitas, which feature a not-to-be-missed grilled pineapple salsa....

Hurry! Grab some end-of-summer blueberries and make this Blueberry Apple Crisp as we begin to merge into fall. Blueberries for summer and apples for fall means that this is a good almost-there dessert to make toward the end of August and early September!

It’s chewy, nutty, and to die for. Dates are well-known as nature’s sweeteners. They’re often used to make vegan caramel, and when boiled and pureed, they bring so much deliciousness (and moisture!) to cakes and other desserts. And this date cake is no exception! If you’ve ever had sticky toffee pudding, this will taste familiar. Only it’s got way more texture, thanks to the raisins and walnuts. This date cake is a breeze to make....
