How to Make the Perfect Crudite Platter - Crudite Platter Arrangement When it comes to party planning, the veggie platter often takes a backseat to cheesy dips and over-the-top cupcakes. And while that pre-packaged Costo-sized platter is all too easy to grab when you're crunched for time, it's actually not that hard to make a showstopping one yourself. We repurposed one of those rustic-chic wooden crates that you find at your local home store (we got ours at Michael's) into a tray for crudités. (Got one in your attic?

Blackberry Cobbler Waffles Waffles are totally underrated. They get a bad rap as pancakes’ not-quite-as-fluffy and not-quite-as-simple ugly cousin, with nooks and crannies just deep enough that the glob of butter won’t melt and a front left quarter that frequently hogs all the syrup. I mean, really. Waffle irons are kind of a pain. As if I don’t have enough pots, pants, mixers, bowls, lids, quesadilla makers, toasters, platters and other necessary items that I use twice a year, you’re telling me that I need to find a uniquely shaped space, somewhere between my cupcake-shaped cake pan and my never used must-have All Clad asparagus pot, for a 13-pound waffle maker that I might drag out on occasion? Yes. I would’ve been positively devastated if I didn’t get that asparagus pot, by the way. Pancakes were much more accessible and commonplace when I was younger, so when it came time to register for wedding gifts, I was over the moon to spy a waffle iron and add it to the list. Which is what I’ve used the waffle maker for.

Banana Bread French Toast Okay listen. On the off chance that you MIGHT have some banana bread left (I know I know, I’m asking a lot), like after you make a loaf… this is what you should do. The idea came about after we saw about 5 minutes of the daylong chocolate special on Food Network the Saturday before Valentine’s Day. I concurred. I baked the banana bread simply for the purpose of turning it into french toast – any other reason and that entire thing would be devoured in about 10 minutes. To which he shakes his head, mail in hand, eyes on some NASCAR magazine and claims “no, I don’t like banana bread.” “Ummm… didn’t YOU tell me to make this banana bread french toast? “Well yeah. Shoooooooot me. WHO doesn’t like banana bread?! I hope not you. Soo… totally make this. Wait – seriously, how has banana bread been sitting on your counter for four days? Here’s the thing: this is going to work best if the bread has sat a little. Then you can do whatever you want with that french toast. I mean… you could keep it boring.
Tomato Pesto Tarts with Optional Prosciutto - Kitchen Treaty This is the time of year when I start obsessing over red and green foods. After all, you can’t serve yellow and brown for Christmas! (Okay, fine, you actually can – and I usually do – but if the food coordinates with the holiday, well, it pleases me). I sound like a total freak, don’t I? Well, with these Tomato Pesto Tarts, I can let my freak flag fly proudly, because they’re unabashedly red and green – oh so perfect for the holiday. They’re also perfect because they’re so super fast to assemble – even easier if you decide to go the store-bought pesto route – and we’re all short on time during the holidays. They’re versatile, too. Puff pastry squares topped with a layer of pesto, a tomato slice, and a little Parmesan, baked until bubbly and golden brown, then sprinkled with a few slivers of basil. Red and green delicious fun for everyone. Yield: 4-5 as a main; 9 as an appetizer or side Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 12 minutes Total Time: 27 minutes Ingredients: Directions:

Apple Pie Breakfast Cake Maybe I should just start a blog about breakfast? I seem to kindasortamaybe love it. Which is really odd, because my day to day breakfasts aren’t anything to write home about. Obviously. Since I’m already home. But I often just throw four or five random ingredients together because all I’m thinking is “omg, I’m so hungry and just need food in my face right this very instant.” I totally love dinner too. But obviously I’m forgetting about dessert. I’m just gonna shut my piehole because I think the only point here is that food is my favorite. And this other weird thing? Turns out breakfast cakes aren’t safe when left all alone. Apple Pie Breakfast Cakes serves 2 adapted from blueberry breakfast cakes 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 egg 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt 1/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour 1/4 cup all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon a pinch each of nutmeg, ground ginger, & ground cardamom Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
