Even if you’re not the craftiest crafter in Craftland (I certainly am not), you can make a potato stamp. These sweet little napkins will add something special to your Valentine’s Day table without being too precious. I just love how they turned out! Inexpensive and easy to make, they’re more unique than any table linens you can buy in a store.
Every weekend we like to ask a fellow cook what’s going on in their own kitchen, and this week one of our own editors is in the hot seat. Ariel, our Engagement Editor, lives in Brooklyn, is obsessed with citrus right now, and has a rather ambitious weekend cooking plan!

Unless you’re a butcher, getting really thin slices of meat, particularly uncooked meat, is a tough feat. It sounds simple enough, but even with a sharp knife, cutting a clean, totally even, thin piece of meat is challenging.

Plenty of food bloggers and YouTubers have tried to replicate the recipe for McDonald’s special sauce over the years, but for a short time, you can now get your hands on a limited edition bottle of the famous Big Mac topper.

We’ve shared Pierre Lamielle’s work here before — he’s an illustrator with a great sense of humor, a love of food, and a very chic kitchen. His current venture is Food on Your Shirt — a collection of t-shirts for food-lovers. It’s hard to pick just one, but I already want to wear this one to Thanksgiving dinner next year.
Way back when, in the practically prehistoric days of the Internet (I’m talking 2009 here), we ran a reader recipe contest. Quick Weeknight Meals gave us a nice collection of really memorable and delicious weeknight meals. Here’s one of my personal favorites: Nicole’s lasagna roll-ups, which boast the trifecta of being easy, quick, and rather good for you.
Upon retesting, these pasta pinwheels turned out to be one of the easiest (and tastiest) dinners I’ve made all month, and given that they’re stuffed with low-fat cottage cheese and oodles of spinach.
