The party problem: Beer and wine bottles always seem to get lined up on the kitchen counter instead of put into the recycling, which is right there — under the sink!
The party trick: Tape temporary labels to the cabinet doors to direct guests.
With its sublime mixture of creamy mashed potatoes and tender cabbage, this recipe for the Irish dish of colcannon requires a declaration of love. That’s how good it is.
Keeping with tradition, we didn’t mess with the potatoes or cabbage, but swapped the plain melted butter that is typically served in a pool on top for fragrant browned butter. We just couldn’t help ourselves! The nutty browned butter is a wonderful warm contrast to the sharp green onions that get scattered before serving, giving this dish an easy, elegant twist.
Both decadent and homey, colcannon is the perfect partner for sausages and a pint of beer. It’s also just as good at the family dinner table as a side for roasted meat or bed for your Saturday fried eggs.
If you’re anything like us, you just can’t wait any longer for asparagus season. It’s one of the green vegetables that truly signals that we survived another winter and made it to spring. While it might not be at its peak just yet, it is slowly hitting grocery store shelves and farmers market stalls. We say it’s time to start bringing it into the kitchen. Here are five ways to do just that.
Welcome to the Great Debates, where we consider the greatest nutritional controversies of our time. Our goal isn’t to tell you what to think or do, but rather to present both sides of hot-button issues, like coffee (is it good for you?) and breakfast (the most important meal of the day?). What’s being said? Who’s saying it? Then it’s up to you to make your own decisions.
If you are looking for evidence that red meat is killing you, there is no shortage of cautionary headlines. Here’s a brief, incomplete sampling: “Red Alert on Red Meat” (Time, 2001); “Dying for Some Red Meat? You May Be” (Washington Post, 2009); “Red Meat Linked to Cancer and Heart Disease” (New York Times, 2012); “Meat Is Linked to Higher Cancer Risk, W.H.O. Report Finds” (New York Times, 2015); “Eating too much red meat ‘can age the body’, researchers claim” (The Guardian, 2016); Red Meat Tied to Diverticulitis Risk (New York Times, 2017).
We could do this all day!
And yet there is a wrinkle, which is that plenty of other studies suggest red meat not only won’t kill you, but may in fact even be good for you. A 2012 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that eating lean beef might actually reduce the risk of heart disease. Multiple studies have shown meaty, Atkins-like diets to be particularly effective for weight loss. And then there are the various health benefits of saturated animal fats.
There is enough conflicting (and muddled, and often flawed) evidence to leave a person very confused, and also hungry. Should we foreswear our organic, grass-fed hamburgers? Should we eat more hamburgers? Are we eating just the right number of hamburgers? Does it even matter at all?
In the interest of both taste and longevity, let us examine the evidence.
Gorgeous latte art isn’t anything new, but it wasn’t until the rise of Instagram that things became serious. These days coffee shops and baristas can make their entire careers off of exploiting our love of Instagram, and we relish in this fact. There are baristas who can make a few classic shapes like flowers or hearts that you might have seen at your local coffee shop, and then there are baristas who can draw people into foam or use food coloring to create “unicorn” lattes.
But while a latte with your face on it is certainly nice, there’s one creation that is better than the rest; one latte that rules over all the other lattes. That latte is the pizza latte.
Now, compared to other images of latte art, this pizza latte from @baristart isn’t as complicated. The lines are a bit sloppy, and there are only two colors involved to get that signature pizza look. The creativity of this latte, however, makes it the most important latte on the planet. The pizza looks like it’s about to slide off the lip of the cup and straight into our hearts.
Leaner than and often the same price (and sometimes even less expensive) as ground beef, ground turkey is the versatile staple that makes getting a filling dinner on the table easier. We love to keep it stashed in the freezer to give dinner a quick and easy protein-packed boost. From slow-cooked sloppy joes and hearty bolognese, to juicy burgers and a protein-packed taco salad, we’re sharing 10 ways ground turkey can help you answer the question of what’s for dinner.
As an Irish girl, it pains me to say this, but St. Patrick’s Day decorations can get cheesy pretty fast. I guess it has something to do with leprechauns and people’s penchant for dying things green that shouldn’t be.
Still, there are some creative folks out there doing St. Patrick’s Day parties right. And the best example just might be this chic dinner party thrown by our friend Natasha Lawler. Her annual party is so legendary, many of her guests fly to Virginia from all over the country just to attend.
Here are three lessons to take away from last year’s party. And yes, I’m kicking myself for not finagling an invitation!
The most coveted non-essential kitchen item is undoubtedly the slow cooker. We’ve talked about this kitchen appliance countless times here on Kitchn because we know our readers love it. Simply put, the slow cooker just makes cooking easier. When you’re in a rush, or stressed, or busy, you know you can rely on dumping some ingredients in the slow cooker, walking away, and coming back to a delicious meal.
If you’ve been on the fence about buying this trendy kitchen tool — or maybe it’s just time to say goodbye to the one you have now — there’s a pretty sweet sale happening on Amazon for the Crock-Pot. Today this six-quart slow cooker is on sale for $39, and it normally costs $60. That’s 35 percent off.

Warrior Fit Testimonials
First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.
Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight.
At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does!
Thank you!! - Theresa F.
The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.
When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do.
It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished.
I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy.
- Jami L.
