When you think about drinking salt water, what do you imagine? Do you see dehydrated sailors lapping up handfuls of ocean and going mad on long voyages? I know that’s my first thought… maybe it’s just me. In any event, salt water does not readily come to mind when one is asked to list healthy […]

My partner and I rarely give each other gifts, and we rarely take photos together. We enjoy giving each other something meaningful on our birthdays, and something silly at the end of the year, but that’s it. And our photo taking tends to focus more on the incredible, and sometimes sad or strange world around […]

When it comes to entertaining, the Barefoot Contessa is a bonafide queen. Between wowing a crowd and making lovey-dovey meals for her man, Jeffrey, Ina Garten runs the world of classic cooking. When you want to take a page from her book but have less than half the time, you need to get creative. That’s why we asked our trusted food editor Christine to adapt a few of Ina’s classic recipes to the slow cooker. Three cheers for saving time, energy, and sanity!

My husband is finally home after a few weeks of traveling for work, and I am taking full advantage of him being home to help with dinner and kid wrangling. We’re celebrating him being home, his belated birthday, and a new home with a week of our family’s favorite dinner.
There’s nothing fancy in the meal plan this week — just five classic family favorites, from lasagna to enchiladas, that are all quick and easy to put together. Some use shopping shortcuts, while others make the best use of a single pan. Here are the five comfort food classics we are eating this week.

Have you ever seen a black chicken? We don’t mean a black-feathered chicken; we mean a Silkie chicken, which is black-pigmented right down to its bones. They aren’t commonly found in the grocery store, but you might see them in Asian groceries. What’s the deal with these black chickens, and do they taste different than the paler breed?

One way I know fall is truly here is when I wake up craving anything but my usual bowl of yogurt and fruit. With the arrival of brisk mornings, I find myself dusting off my slippers and wanting something warm to fill my stomach. These 17 savory and sweet breakfast casseroles are exactly that.
What’s better is that almost all of them can be prepared the night before and simply baked in the oven before you’re ready to eat. That means you can stay in bed a little while longer, which is always a plus on cool fall mornings.

Although inspired by Middle Eastern shakshuka (eggs poached in tomato sauce), this version is for meat lovers. Instead of thick tomato sauce, these eggs are simmered over ground lamb and bone broth, with a handful of charred cherry tomatoes thrown on top. The cherry tomatoes, plus a generous amount of herbs, give this high-protein meal a fresh, light flavor. It’s fantastic for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
If you want to start your day with this powerhouse meal, consider cooking the meat and tomatoes ahead of time. Right before breakfast, reheat the meat in a skillet with eggs. It’s an easier way to enjoy a hearty breakfast and still get out the door on time.
Servings: 4
Time in the Kitchen: 45 minutes
Ingredients
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon (15 ml) avocado oil over medium-high heat in a wide saucepan that has a lid. When the pan is really hot, add the cherry tomatoes and cook about 5 minutes until the tomatoes are lightly charred and begin to soften. Stir the tomatoes as little as possible. Remove the tomatoes from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons avocado oil to the pan. Add the onion and sauté 3 to 5 minutes until the onion begins to soften. Add the garlic, and sauté 2 minutes more. Add the lamb and season with cumin, smoked paprika, and salt. Cook until lightly browned and no longer pink, about 6 minutes.
Add bone broth to the saucepan, and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low. Crack 4 to 6 eggs in the pan on top of the meat.*
Cover the pan with a lid and cook until the egg whites are set (about 7 minutes) but the yolks are still soft.
Before serving, add the tomatoes and garnish generously with chopped parsley, dill, or other fresh herbs.
*The meat and tomatoes can be cooked ahead of time, then reheated in smaller portions with a little bit of bone broth and 1 or 2 eggs.

In our house, frittatas, the Italian egg dish that’s often made in a skillet, are usually reserved for a Sunday clean-out-the-fridge night. They’re simple to throw together, satisfying, and you can use almost any vegetable or cheese you have on hand. But lately, they’ve been making their way onto the breakfast table. Actually, to be truthful, I’ve been doing a portable version for busy weekday mornings.

Avocado toast is delicious, and eggs are super easy to make at home, but when you want something that feels special — or like dessert — there’s nothing like French toast for brunch. I mean, it’s basically bread that’s fried and topped (or stuffed) with delicious things. And you get to eat that for breakfast! Win.
If you want something truly decadent for breakfast, Pinterest has just the thing you want to make. The most-saved French toast recipe on the social platform is filled with chocolate, peanut butter, and bananas.
Cue all of the oohs and aahs.

Here’s how I pictured family dinner with my husband and three kids: Everyone is at the table, enjoying steak and fries while taking turns talking about the highlights from their day.
In reality, dinner is more of a workout than a time to relax over conversation. In reality, my husband and I have spent more dinners than I can count chasing our two autistic kids (my son and younger daughter), sensory seekers who like to launch themselves out of their seats at every opportunity. In reality, this ideal image doesn’t fit our family dynamic at all.
But I’m learning that that’s okay — with a little help from a TV and a therapist or two.
