Looking for (yet) another keto-friendly sheet pan dinner? I have some scrumptious Chicken Fajita Lettuce Wraps for you! The fajita filling is tucked inside 'Butterhead' lettuce leaves. And what an awesome filling it is -- colorful bell peppers, onion, and perfectly-spiced morsels of chicken, all baked together on a single...

These cheese straws are crazy-delicious. Think of elongated "Cheetos," kissed by the sharp tang of real cheddar and the heavenly air of Herbes de Provence. Serve the straws at your next cocktail party, and watch them disappear. Or, just do as I did last night, and hog them all for...

I made a Salisbury Steak Dinner yesterday for three important reasons: One, it was so cold and rainy outside, all I could think about was comfort food. Two, I didn't have anything better to do. And finally...I was hungry! Here's the recipe for this rib-sticking meal that comes together easily...

I'm hooked on Flour Sack Cloth. It's great for mopping up kitchen spills, polishing silverware, dusting furniture, and lots of other household tasks. Unlike expensive/wasteful paper towels, flour sack is easy on the wallet. Also, it's indefinitely reusable. Here's the history of this old-fashioned fabric, plus my tips for using...

Oh, baby. I ordered this salad at Yianni's in Chatham, New York, a couple of weeks ago, and it was so un-frickin'-believably delicious that I couldn't wait to make a similar version at home.

Don't let the name fool you -- this 1930s Chocolate Mayonnaise Cake is wickedly delicious. Mayonnaise replaces the butter and milk that are ordinarily found in chocolate cake batters, rendering a super moist, incredibly chocolaty dessert. You can mix the batter by hand or by machine as you please. Although...

Duchess Potatoes have a deceptively high-brow look. Indeed, they are simply enriched mashed potatoes that are piped into decorative swirls, and then baked in a hot oven until golden. You don't have to bake the adorable mounds right away. You can freeze them for weeks (or even months), and then...

French Butter Cookies -- Sablés Breton -- originated in the northwest region of Brittany, France. In France and elsewhere in Europe, the cookies are instantly recognized for their fluted edges, crosshatch markings, and brilliant sheen. To me, the buttery biscuits taste like a trip to Paris without the jetlag. They...

In the comments section below my Super Crispy Homemade Chicken Nuggets video, a viewer asked: What do you do with the leftover cooking oil? In truth, I never discard my deep-fry oil after just one use. What a waste that would be! And here, in words and pictures, is how...

This Pumpkin Bundt Cake is blessed with a gorgeous countenance, a moist crumb, and a beautiful autumn-spice perfume. In other words, it is the kind of cake that belongs on your October or November tea table! Here's the step-by-step and printable recipe: To start, throw some flour, pumpkin pie spice,...

This is a gluten-free twist on a traditional quiche. The crust is simply made from store-bought frozen shredded potatoes (a/k/a "hash browns"). There's no butter to cut in, and no dough to roll out! I used spinach and ham for my quiche filling here, but other fillings would work as...

THIS IS NOT A PAID ADVERTISEMENT. I simply wanted to tell you that I purchased a Maytag Commercial washing machine. Would you like to meet this old-school appliance? My former washer -- a high-efficiency, high-tech Cabrio -- bit the dust after four years of modest use.  Although the machine was...

Can you get away for a moment? Please join me for Afternoon Tea! The menu includes fragrant tea, yummy petit fours, and  three classic sandwiches. The sandwiches are the same cucumber, chicken, and egg-and-cress subjects that I enjoyed at Kensington palace. Their beauty is in their simplicity. Watch: Afternoon Tea...

Probably I was a French baker in a previous life. How else can I explain my great passion for yeast dough? I love to mix it, knead it, shape it, and -- after it has been baked -- eat it! Today's recipe is for the Homemade Sandwich Buns you see...

WHEN WEEDS INVADE MY PERENNIAL BEDS, I don't get mad -- I get newspaper. Newspaper-mulching, as we have discussed before, makes weeds disappear instantly. And it prevents them from re-emerging for an entire season, if not longer. I newspaper-mulched one of my weed-choked beds just this morning. Would you like...
