It’s Friday already, and we’re thinking about what to cook this weekend. It’s been a gray sort of week here, and chicken soup is sounding awfully appealing. Or maybe a hot slice of cheesy tuna toast. What about you? What sounds good right now, and what are you planning on cooking this weekend? Tell us — we need a bit of inspiration for this weekend! More

I like the look of this creamy butternut squash orzotto, don’t you? It sounds like just the ticket to chase away the winter blues. Then again, that potato-leek galette and those grown-up tuna melts sound mighty tempting as well. And we have two — two! — different spreads to choose from for our morning toast. And to cap it all off, a white whiskey cocktail to celebrate the Oscars.

This kitchen backsplash looks hand-painted, but it’s actually made of shimmery, pearlescent glass tile. We love how it looks behind the stove: such a unique detail in the kitchen! More

We’re starting to round a corner where maybe, just maybe, we can sense spring in the air. We’ve had a few hopeful days here in Seattle, and I’m eagerly awaiting spring produce at the farmers’ market. So now is a great time to start thinking and planning for things you can do around the house to keep your food fresher for longer. More

Q: My boyfriend spoiled me with a bag of organic black walnuts from the market last weekend. At $5 for as many as I can hold in my fist, I’d like to cook something special with them, but don’t know where to start. Cakes and cookies are out, as we have to follow a gluten-free diet. Any ideas?

When my husband and I bought our first home, I couldn’t wait to stock the kitchen with things I loved, vowing to gradually get rid of low quality tools and gadgets carelessly obtained in college that we continued to use. One of my first purchases was a beautiful, heavy set of brushed stainless steel measuring spoons. More

Is everyone on vacation without you? Are your social media feeds one big blur of the freckled faces of people you once thought you loved basking in the Caribbean sun, showing unintentional contempt for you, back here, shivering and damp? Do your so-called friends in warmer climes gush about pea tendrils and new artichokes while your local market has shriveled roots that last saw the unfrozen earth in October? Of last year? Maybe, just this one time, an exception should be made and a tidy, brief pity party would be acceptable. I have just the elixir.
You may not be in the tropics, but glass-for-glass, we can fake it. You may not have fresh coconuts overhead and sweet mango and papaya slices on your breakfast plate, but if we hurry, we can grab onto the tail end of blood orange season and squeeze it into something better.
