I’ve talked before about how soup is my go-to dinner party food in the fall and winter, but I recently read a piece on mean chili: spicy, exciting, innovative chili with unexpected flavors. It got me thinking that it may just be time to switch up my usual routine and get on the chili bandwagon. Here are 10 flavor boosters to get you really excited about chili.
Leave it to IKEA to make bug burgers and vegan hotdogs look delicious.
Everyone knows that IKEA is a wonderland of surprisingly stylish flat-packed furniture and trendy and useful housewares. I can’t go into an IKEA store without wanting to leave with new mugs and bowls, even though the ones I have at home are fine. And now IKEA is turning its trend-forecasting powers to food to create the “fast food of the future.”
This past January Kitchn did a deep dive into the ketogenic diet. The high-fat diet puts people in a state of ketosis where their bodies burn fat instead of carbs. You essentially eat a lot more fat — like cheese, bacon, and butter — and limit your carb intake (here’s a list of what you can and can’t eat exactly). While the lifestyle definitely isn’t for everyone, it is gaining in popularity — especially on Pinterest.
According to Pinteret’s Holi-YAY 2017 report, searches for holiday keto-friendly recipes were up 4460% year over year. That is a huge increase in just a year, and it’s only going to be bigger this year. So when people are searching for keto recipes, what exactly are they looking for? It turns out the most popular keto recipe on Pinterest is this one for low-carb Italian sub rolls from Our Paleo Life. It’s been saved 300,000 times.
Breakfast for dinner is one of our favorite easy weeknight meals, but what about dinner for breakfast? Believe it or not, this upside-down idea has revolutionized school-day breakfasts at my house.
“Dinner for breakfast” was actually inspired by my daughter’s request for quesadillas one morning before school. It was fast and easy to toast up a tortilla filled with cheese, and I was happy she was getting protein from the cheese and a side of leftover black beans. When she gobbled it down without complaints, which isn’t always the case with her routine egg scramble, I knew we were onto something.
Whipping up a hot breakfast from scratch in the morning — be it on leisurely weekends or busy weekdays — always sounds like a good idea, but sometimes it’s difficult to make happen.
Well, these 25 recipes are here to jump-start things for you. If you prep, assemble, or even bake your breakfast the night before, you’ll be left with minimal work when you wake up.
Spaghetti alla puttanesca is one of the humblest pastas out there. There’s no meat or long simmering time to contend with. Instead, the tomato-based sauce gets big punches of flavor from a trio of salty, briny powerhouses: olives, anchovies, and capers. The resulting tangle of saucy noodles is deeply satisfying. As if this dish needed anything else to make it more appealing, almost all of the ingredients can be found in the pantry or condiment section of your refrigerator.
To make this as weeknight-friendly as possible, we’re sharing a shortcut to make your life just a little bit easier: cooking everything together in one pot.
Consider this a gentle reminder that, while we don’t often cook dinner with leftovers for breakfast in mind, that practice can be a smart way to ensure there’s something delicious on the table at the start of the next day. If dinner is wholesome — full of veggies, protein, and whole grains — it can be repurposed as a perfect morning meal!
These 10 recipes cover all these bases and can be enjoyed rewarmed, at room temperature, or even cold. So no matter how much time you have before you need to run out the door, you can feel confident you’ll be able to start the day off right.

Jeff Goldblum is a national treasure. If you’ve ever fantasized about him cooking you dinner, you’re about to have a very good day, because he just teamed up with Funny or Die to make a video about food. Jeff Goldblum can’t cook, but it doesn’t matter, because I’ve been waiting my whole life to hear him roll the “r” in “rigatoni.”
As far as superpowers go, Pioneer Woman Ree Drummond’s supernatural ability to make people want to buy things is a pretty good one. Case in point? She just released the commercial for her new Pioneer Woman Spring collection at Walmart, and I sat upright and said, “I need flower dishes!”
