There’s truly nothing like a good, freshly baked loaf of sourdough to me. And as much as I enjoy baking sourdough myself, tending to a starter can get tedious. When I moved recently I had to say goodbye to my starter, and now if I want sourdough I need to buy it. That’s where Bittman’s comes in. The frozen sourdough delivery service gives me lots of delicious loaves in an assortment of flavors that I can pull out of my freezer and bake fresh whenever I want.

I always have a can or two of pumpkin purée in my pantry during the fall. Call me basic, but I do enjoy adding a teaspoon to my morning latte. I equally love whipping pumpkin into baked goods such as muffins or pumpkin bread, or even swirling some into pasta sauce.Another great way to enjoy pumpkin? These delicious and fluffy pumpkin pancakes. They’re the perfect thing to wake up to on a crisp autumn morning.

Not a week goes by where I don’t pick up a jar of sun-dried tomatoes at the grocery store. It’s an ingredient I’d once pegged as retro, but, like the lace camis and platform wedges of the ’90s that are trending again, these tomatoes are back. One of my favorite dinners, Marry Me chicken, relies on sun-dried tomatoes for flavor and color.

I am a Mexican American, and so many of my strongest connections to my Mexican roots were made around the kitchen table. One memory in particular that has always stuck with me is eating torta ahogada at my Tia Ines’s house in Ixtlan del Rio Nayarit, Mexico. There’s something about a torta completely drenched in sauce, piled with tender pork and tangy onions, that’s simply impossible to forget.

I know fall is officially here when I break out my slow cooker. It’s my absolute favorite way to make easy weeknight dinners, from pot roast to chicken thighs. I had the same slow cooker for nearly a decade, but I ditched it for the Ninja HyperHeat earlier this year. I’m such a big fan of the HyperHeat multicooker (which features a slow cook function) that I wanted to try more from Ninja. That’s how I stumbled upon the PossibleCooker PRO Plus.

Butter makes everything better. But who makes the best butter? And yes, there is a best. Why else would this French butter earn rave reviews from everyone in the food world?I recently saw a video on TikTok where a Beverly Hills cheesemonger declared Maison Bordier Le Beurre Bordier Semi-Salted Butter the “world’s best butter.” The more research I did, the more I found that others agreed. This butter was at the top of the charts, no matter who was judging.

As someone who leans on simple, satisfying dinners during the week, I love a recipe that feels both comforting and a little bright. This creamy lemon chicken and rice soup is exactly that. It’s a cozy one-pot meal that comes together easily and hits every note — rich, savory, fresh, and just a little tangy. Chicken breasts simmer gently in a flavorful broth until tender, while the rice cooks right in the pot soaking up all the lemony, herb-forward goodness.

The cost of groceries has been on the rise for years, and many of us are feeling the impact. The average American spends nearly 13% of their household budget on food (or roughly $10,169 per year), according to a report from CashNet USA. And within the past year, food prices jumped by 3.4 percent, according to the USDA. As a result, many of us are looking to save more at the cash register. To figure out the best strategies, I spoke to Tiffany Aliche, also known as “The Budgetnista.

I will happily eat a bowl of chili any time of year, but once the weather starts to cool down it’s one of the first things I want simmering on my stove. There are so many different variations of green chili — and depending on who’s making it, no two pots are exactly the same. From Colorado-style green chili to New Mexico-style, there are plenty of ways to make it. This version is a hearty pork chili that’s packed with flavor without feeling overly heavy.

Quick cooking doesn’t have to skimp on flavor. Here at The Kitchn, we’re big fans of meals that are ready in 30 minutes or less, especially if they can be made in just one pot.

I haven’t always been the biggest fan of sweet potatoes –– I wouldn’t say I outright disliked them, but they weren’t my first choice. That is, until I found two cooking methods that really work for me: ultra-flavorful melting sweet potatoes, and the twice-baked technique used in this recipe. If you want sweet potatoes with perfectly tender insides and crispy skin, this is going to be your dream come true.

Pumpkin spice lattes are here and football is on the TV, but I’m holding onto summer for as long as I can. I am simply not ready to trade the bright colors and fresh flavors of summer produce for the browns and oranges of fall.

Breakfast when I was a kid had so much whimsy and excitement to it. I often found myself eager in anticipation of what we were having. Are those cinnamon rolls I smell in the oven? Are we making pancakes this weekend? Nowadays, breakfast doesn’t have the same ring to it. But I’m on a mission to change that, and what could be a better start than a twist on the American classic of French toast.

My family used to go to the beach every summer with our cousins. My mom would normally wind up cooking a lot of the meals, whether that was by her own choice or not. One thing my cousins couldn’t get over was her bacon. They called it “Aunt Mary Bacon,” and didn’t understand why it tasted so much better than what their mom made for them. As I got older, I found out their mom only let them eat turkey bacon at home, and my mom was serving up the real stuff.

There’s nothing I love more than the combination of melty cheese and creamy beans. It’s the kind of comfort I’ll never get tired of.

It was rich, bubbling, and incredibly soul-warming — and I’ve been chasing that feeling ever since in my own kitchen.

My screen time embarrasses me. I am very aware of how much time I spend (or, rather, waste) doomscrolling on social media. I just can’t give it up. I want to be looped in on the internet drama of the week, influencer happenings, and, most importantly, the viral recipes people are making. One viral recipe that recently caught my eye was for cozy ground beef broth bowls. I have been seeing some of my favorite creators make these bowls for the past few weeks.

A countertop organizer is a game-changer in the kitchen. It can double — and sometimes even triple — your space, giving you more room to store spices, olive oil, snacks, sugar, tea, coffee, fruit, and so much more without making your kitchen look cluttered.

Like so many other 30-somethings, I’m guilty of having once subscribed to the “millennial gray” trend of interior design. In my former house, everything — from the walls to the couches — was in a decidedly neutral color palette. The hues ranged from gray to beige to wood to … more gray. While the overall look was elegant, it was also boring (and not exactly a mood-booster, TBH).

When the crispy rice salad trend came and went on social media, I knew that for me personally it was here to stay. The crunchy rice adds so much texture to every bite, and there are endless flavor possibilities. This version, with nutty tahini-maple dressing and salty crumbled feta, is a real winner.The key is to get a bunch of different textures going in one bowl. The baked rice gets extra crispy, and then you’ve got the juicy crunch of cucumbers and shallots.

I make this version of roasted broccoli pretty much every week because it’s just that good. Florets get roasted on a preheated baking sheet until browned and caramelized. Then they’re buried under buttery panko and sharp cheddar and broiled until golden-brown and crisp. The cheese melts into the crumbs and crisps at the edges like frico. It’s crispy, cheesy, and impossible to stop eating straight off the pan. Preheat the baking sheet.
