I have feelings about March so far. If you’re anywhere north of Miami, you may know what I mean. This winter has been long and cold and it’s not over yet. Stay close to home and bake some cookies this weekend. Nothing fancy. Who needs that right now. These are as homey as gets: Chocolate chip, oatmeal, Nutella no-bakes.
Have a cookie. It will all be over soon.

This week we’ll reveal KitchenAid’s new 2015 stand mixer color (always a highlight), as well as a roundup of the best things we saw at the show. Stay tuned!
Leftovers can be a boon rather than a ball and chain. Here’s the thing — they just have to be basic enough so they can be repurposed and incorporated into completely different meals. Just think about those days after Thanksgiving, when you’ve got pounds of roasted turkey for turkey sandwiches, turkey noodle casserole, turkey enchiladas, turkey soup … you get the idea. As it turns out, that strategy works for plain-old chicken, too.
This set of recipes is designed to put one big batch of cooked chicken to work, creating meal after meal that feels like anything but a repeat of last night’s dinner.
How much do you know about pizza? And I’m not getting academic here; do you know the basics? Pizza is a simple homemade supper, but it can look overwhelming — all those separate components! Dough, sauce, toppings — and what if I don’t have a pizza stone?
Hold it right there. The beauty of pizza is that it can be as simple or geeky as you want. Here are the essentials — you can take it from here.
Hey kitchen friends, what’s cooking? I am a huge fan of winter, but even I am getting tired of the snow and slush. Is pizza the answer? Or baking in general? Take a whirl through our feature on Mary Ting Hyatt and her scrumptious, virtuosic bagel endeavor for a little inspiration, then make these cinnamon whole wheat bagels to cheer you up this weekend.
If that’s not your thing, though, tell us what is! What’s keeping your kitchen warm this weekend?
Moving into a new house — with a new kitchen! — involves a lot of labor. We have some recommendations on what to prioritize, but one reader pointed out that you shouldn’t do it all yourself. Here’s Jaclyn P’s recommendation for a moving day splurge.
Moving homes — is any other life transition so exhausting? Especially since it’s often compounded by other transition moments: marriage, new relationship, retirement, a new job.
In the midst of moving madness it’s important to stay nourished for the hours of packing, unpacking, and digging through boxes. Here are 15 recipes for Moving Day, including snacks that fuel the intensity you need for carrying boxes, homemade dinners that need nothing but heating up, and breakfast for the morning after.
When you’re looking to liven up leftover cooked chicken, a sweet and tangy honey-mustard sauce goes a long way! Add a freshly steamed pot of rice and some sautéed vegetables, and you’ve got a quick weeknight meal that’s full of bright flavors and textures.
