How To Cook Beans in the Slow Cooker — Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
One of the best ways to guarantee perfectly cooked beans — ones that emerge creamy and tender instead of crunchy or mushy — is cooking them ever-so gently over low, steady heat. Hmm… low and steady heat, you say? Sounds to me like a job for the slow cooker.
A Fall Pumpkin-Carving Party — Gatherings From The Kitchn
This week I’ve been sharing the fall pumpkin-carving party I hosted with my friend Lydia, an autumnal afternoon of carving pumpkins, sipping cider and sitting down for a romantic outdoor dinner at dusk. Today I’m going to give you a full look at how we transformed the blank slate of Lydia’s backyard into party central, with a casual pumpkin-carving zone and a cozy buffet and dining area.
I’ll also give you all the details how I created a mostly make-ahead menu centered on a healthy Indian-themed sweet potato bar full of fresh yet comforting flavors. And there’s a fun DIY project: an eye-catching (but simple!) table runner made out of butcher paper and neon tape. Ready to dive in?

“Why does this look like a rainbow? Because it has seven layers of gelatin, each in a different flavor and color – cherry and strawberry to lemon and lime.”

A Side Dish Recipe for Burgers: Slow-Cooked Cider Beans — Pick a Side! From Tara Mataraza Desmond
Side dishes are accompaniments that should complement a main dish, make it better, and accentuate its positives. Plunking down an afterthought on the table next to the pièce de résistance is like telling your date to a black tie affair that it’s ok to wear underwear. Some sides are quick and easy like this spicy kale. Others turn a usual suspect on its side, as in the case of this butternut squash. Salads like this slaw, aren’t “just a salad,” but rather attention-getters in their own right.
And sometimes a side dish requires more effort than the main dish it’s meant to bolster. These beans fit into that category and yield results that are worth your time.

Americans in The Hague: Sonia’s Warm and Welcoming International Kitchen — Kitchen Tour
Who cooks and eats here: Sonia Schrofer-Sin and Frans Schrofer (plus lots of friends & family!)
Where: The Hague, the Netherlands
Rent or Own? Own
Welcome to Sonia’s beautiful kitchen, and please make yourself at home; Sonia would insist on it! Originally from Chicago, Sonia moved to the Netherlands 27 years ago and now lives with her Dutch husband in a house that was formerly an old milk dairy. I’m not sure if it’s the Dutch house and its history, the American hospitality, the incredible artwork, the two dining areas, or the adjacent grapevine-filled courtyard, but this is one incredibly welcoming kitchen!
