Looking for an excuse to get in the kitchen this weekend? We’ve got a few ideas for you! To start, I highly recommend a batch of these Streusel-Topped Apple Pie Muffins. For something even quicker, take a look at our favorite way to make French toast. Pick up a squash while you’re at the market, because we show you how to roast it, stuff it, and have it for dinner. Tahini-Date Salted Caramels are an easy treat with raw ingredients, and we have a cherry crumble if you’re feeling more indulgent. What are you waiting for — let’s get cooking!

Starting a Dinner Party Journal — Liveblogging The Kitchn Cure Fall 2013
Day 10 Task: Plan a dinner party
My experience doing The Kitchn Cure can be summed up this way: it made me finally do the things I’ve been wanting to do in my kitchen. Sometimes you just need a good kick in the pants to get going, you know? — something that stops the excuses and procrastinating and helps you get your ideas or plans off the ground.
I’ve thrown a dinner party in a small apartment before, and I’ve even had friends over to my current place despite its we’re-still-moving-in disheveled-ness. But there’s one thing I’ve wanted to do, and it’s so small I don’t know why I haven’t done it yet: start a dinner party journal.

Weelicious Lunches by Catherine McCord — New Cookbook
More than anything else, I think parents need ideas for what to put in their kids’ lunches. Heck, it’s hard enough coming up with interesting things to eat ourselves — doing this for small humans with their very own and very loud opinions is an even greater challenge. Help is here! It comes in the form of Catherine McCord’s latest book of kid-approved foods, Weelicious Lunches. Lunchtime? Game on.

We Made It! Now, Let’s Enjoy It. — Liveblogging The Kitchn Cure Fall 2013
Day 10 Task: Plan a dinner party
Here we are, at the end of The Kitchn Cure. So, let’s party! I love hosting dinner parties. Planning them? Not my strong point. My invitations usually arrive via text, often within an hour of when I expect you to be at my house ready to eat. And I’ll probably send out another text when you’re on your way asking you to pick up some essential ingredient I’ve forgotten, like a chicken. But we have fun! Also, we live near several excellent local pizza places, so if I don’t get it together, no one will starve. But I’m excited about having a real dinner party, more planned, but still me.
