It’s a special occasion (or just a random Tuesday), and you are looking for a way to celebrate. We have just the thing: cake. A gorgeous, mouth-watering, decorated layer cake, to be exact!
Have you just baked up your favorite cake recipe, made a batch of frosting, and don’t know what to do next? It’s time to learn how to stack and decorate cakes like a pro and start creating sky-high, sugar-filled masterpieces!
I have previously shared a recipe for chile verde — a beloved holiday favorite at my house — and while this recipe for pork, poblano, and pumpkin stew is very similar, where the stew really veers off is with its aromatics: tomato paste; San Marzano tomatoes; and a fragrant blend of cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and brown sugar. This stew has a more Mediterranean vibe; a far cry from the Southwestern flavors of the original.
So maybe you procrastinated because you didn’t think you wanted to do Halloween this year, or maybe you just plain forgot that the holiday was this weekend. Whatever the case may be, it’s still not too late to get a fun food-themed disguise to wear to that costume party, but you’d better get clicking. Of course, these costumes won’t be the most original options, but you can always make a few tweaks to make them feel more of the moment.
When I was a kid, my mother took a cooking class with Giuliano Bugialli and learned how to make this dish. It tastes so rich and divine that you’d never suspect it’s so economical and quick to make! She’d let me request a special meal for my birthday, and I often requested this dish.
Carving a pumpkin requires time, a little arm muscle, a sharp knife, and lots of newspaper to collect all that pumpkin goo. Not feeling it this year? This is the project for you. Turn your Halloween pumpkin into the best food on the planet: pizza! All of the cheesy feelings, none of the pumpkin slime.
A few years ago I featured a recipe inspired by the one-pot pasta craze, but with the chilly weather finally settling in, it seemed appropriate to transition that weeknight family favorite into the fall. All you’ll want to do after making this is cuddle up on the couch in a pair of fuzzy socks. Forget the blanket — this cozy dish is bound to keep you warm!
Today is the day! The Kitchn now has more than 1 million fans on Facebook. We’re celebrating by eating funfetti cake and popping a couple bottles at the office, and we wish you were all here to celebrate. Thanks for being such an incredible community. It’s a joy to interact with you all on a daily basis.
Is chicken on the menu tonight? Let’s make sure those boneless, skinless chicken breasts you have waiting in the fridge turn out as plump and full of flavor as possible. This method for cooking chicken in the oven is one of my favorites — the words “dry” or “boring” will never enter the conversation. Watch this video and see how it’s done.
