Preparation Before she was America’s most beloved hostess, Martha was an ambitious teenager who knew the value of earning her own money. To do so, she babysat and took up modeling, booking her first jobs when she was still in high school. And while we’ve heard about the jobs she held while living in New York City as a student at Barnard College—including walking down fashion runways and shooting various campaigns with Breck, Clairol, and Lifebuoy Soap—we haven’t yet watched video footage of her in action....

My Rules for How To Make the Perfect Nachos Rule #1: The Nachos Cheese Sauce ensures even coverage of cheesy goodness on every single chip which you simply can’t achieve just by using grated cheese. Unless you use an inordinate amount of it! Remember: A corn chip without cheese on it is just a chip – not nachos! Rule #2: Hot and cold must be separated. Never dump cold guacamole and sour cream on top of hot melted cheese....

You don’t want the toppings to overpower each other. That’s where this recipe comes in. This Taco Bell Mexican pizza is loaded with tons of toppings that complement each other beautifully. It gives you a wonderful explosion of bold flavors. So, how about skipping the drive-thru and making your own version of the Taco Bell Mexican pizza?...

Preparation It’s a universal fact: Martha knows how to take a great selfie. But few have rivaled her famous pool photo taken in 2020—until now, that is. Before heading off to Art Basel in Miami last week, our founder snapped a shot that gave her sultry summer selfie a run for its money. In the viral Instagram post (which received over 67,000 likes!), the lifestyle mogul showed off her makeup in an effortlessly chic mirror selfie....

Preparation Whether you’re having a cookout with neighborhood friends, quick burgers on a busy weeknight, or even grilling egg sandwiches for breakfast, there’s just something about using a grill that makes the food and the vibe better. But what if that grill wasn’t charcoal or gas but an electric outdoor grill instead? They are becoming increasingly popular as concerns about the environment heat up. Not only do electric grills turn on quickly, but they also emit less smoke, are often more cost-effective and, depending on the grill, can be used outdoors and indoors....

Although not one of the more commonly eaten meats in the United States, bison began gaining popularity in the early 2000s when Ted Turner opened the first Ted’s Montana Grill in Ohio. If you’re considering experimenting with the protein – or if you’re a longtime fan – these ground bison recipes are a few of my all-time favorite bison dishes. Bison meat is high in iron, and it has a lighter, slightly sweeter, and more delicate flavor than ground beef....

Kefir is a fermented dairy drink brimming with gut-friendly probiotic cultures. Kefir has been shown to aid in digestion and reduce inflammation. It’s also full of calcium and vitamin K. Like a good Greek yogurt, kefir is a little sour and very tangy. However, the consistency is much milkier. It also has a lovely fizz, thanks to carbon dioxide. If you’re looking for innovative uses for this highly cultured beverage, you’re in luck!...

Pomegranates have a very bold flavor that can be sweet or sour, depending on when you get them. But mostly, they’re like cranberries in that they have a balance of sweet and tart taste. I think the two juices are very similar and mostly interchangeable. That said, pomegranate is a little darker and less acrid in taste. I much prefer its earthy notes and more well-rounded flavor. 1. Pomegranate Margarita Forget diamonds: margaritas are a girl’s best friend, and this stunning pomegranate recipe is sure to be your new fave....

If you’re an avid chef, chances are, you already know what a ramekin is and probably have at least a couple in your kitchen cabinets. However, for those of you who aren’t familiar with the term, a ramekin is a small circular or oval-shaped dish (usually ceramic) used for cooking desserts, casseroles, and other tasty things. I love them because you can make some of the cutest single-serve desserts in them....

From root vegetables to leafy greens, the whole vegetable family is represented here. But you won’t need to pick a favorite. This list is so easy and enticing, you’ll want to try them all.

And family favorites – cheesy spinach, sweet potato with pecans and oats, baked hash browns....

It’s not new knowledge that cabbage is a healthy source of fiber and vitamins. What you may not know, though, is how this humble veggie can make a wide array of keto-friendly dishes. This list is proof that there’s more to cabbage than just coleslaw (although, naturally, I’ve also included a recipe for said side dish). From soups and stews to stir-fries and tacos, I have your entire keto menu covered....
