There’s a general well-loved layout most kitchens seem to follow these days: island in the middle, sink under the window, range on the wall, etc. It works for a reason — it’s practical and results in a functional, usable space.

However, we’ve been noticing one little tweak to that setup that kinda changes everything we thought we knew about kitchen design: People are putting windows over their ranges! It’s crazy, right? Or is it?

If the thought of crispy bacon and the pungent bite of blue cheese makes you smile with delight, then this recipe belongs in your meal plan. File it under

With a package of gnocchi, a few strips of bacon, some blue cheese, and a handful of spinach, this is the recipe that hits the table fast and leaves you feeling totally victorious — and full.

Consider this an excuse to stop and take an afternoon pause. This butter is meant for the 3:00 p.m. slump, when you suddenly feel the urge for a cup of tea to perk you up, but concurrently find yourself poking around for something sweet to tide you over until dinner. Grab a biscuit or scone, if you’re lucky — but a piece of toast will do just fine — and start spreading.

If you’re like me, then about half an hour before any house guests arrive you frantically run through the living and dining room, sweep any evidence of actually living in your apartment off of your surfaces, and jam all that crap into the nearest drawer/cabinet/closet to create the appearance of cleanliness. I would literally sweep clutter under a rug, if I could! Unfortunately, it would probably look lumpy under my flat-weave carpets.

While I feel like it’s working — because it does look clean; my guests say so! — the wind was taken out of my sail a little when I recently spoke with organizing and lifestyle expert Lorie Marrero, creator of The Clutter Diet.

Top a ho-hum potato chip with a little smoked salmon, crème fraîche, lemon zest, and chives, and suddenly it’s dressed to the nines, ready for one of those serious cocktail parties. These chips are so good, though, that it would be a shame to save them for such an event. Instead, invite a few friends over tonight, pop open a bottle of wine (we’ll tell you which!), and make this appetizer immediately.

Bruschetta is one of my favorite appetizers. Crusty bread, juicy tomatoes, fragrant basil — what’s not to love? And while a tray of bruschetta (with a cold glass of rosé) is a delightful meal in the summertime, it’s not exactly the most well-rounded dinner.

Enter: this bruschetta chicken. It cooks right on a sheet pan, along with some garlic Parmesan potatoes, for an easy weeknight supper.
