Since Valentine’s Day falls in the middle of the week this year, there’s a pretty good chance you have a few other things vying for your attention. So if you don’t have time to wrap your head around what you’re cooking for dinner until, say, Valentine’s Day afternoon, know you’re going to be OK. Instead of rushing to find a last-minute restaurant reservation, head to the grocery store, pick up a couple of things to supplement what you probably already have in your pantry, and whip up this fast-and-fancy last-minute meal.

Are you cooking something sweet for Valentine’s Day? We asked our readers on Twitter and Facebook if there was anything they hoped to attempt for the first time this year, and crème brûlée came up. Crème brûlée is such an astonishingly easy treat, and I was happy for the excuse to revisit it.

Here’s a recipe and step-by-step guide to making crème brûlée in your own kitchen — no torch or special equipment required, and you’ll only need five or six ingredients to get that sweet, creamy custard with a shattering sugar crust.

We take the names of ingredients we shop for at the grocery store for granted. We make lists of foods to acquire at the store, prepare meals with these ingredients, and then put those meals on social media, but I’d wager that many of us (myself included) haven’t put a great deal of thought into who gave things their proper names in the first place. Why isn’t a watermelon radish called a “prison potato”? And how come potatoes aren’t called “edible rocks”?

A Twitter account has recently been making waves with renaming everything from animals to instruments, and today I’m taking a stab at foods and what they really should be called.

If you’ve ever had an elaborate banquet at a Chinese restaurant, you know just how much work goes into the meal. Attempting something like that at home just doesn’t seem feasible unless you have a week to plan, shop, and cook like my grandmother did. So hosting and cooking my first Chinese Lunar New Year dinner seemed a bit intimidating at first. Could I pull off all these courses, especially if a lot of them required last-minute cooking?

With some careful planning and a few shortcuts, my mom and I were able to successfully cook a simple-yet-delicious dinner to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Here’s the menu and some tips on how to pull it all together if you also want to celebrate the Year of the Dog!

Valentine’s Day is my favorite small holiday as a parent. We don’t make a big deal about celebrating it as grown-ups (we’re more likely to have a date night at home), but we do make a big deal about celebrating our kids and showing them our love on Valentine’s Day. This year our oldest started kindergarten and between classroom cards and their classroom “Friend’s Day” celebration, here’s how we are tackling Valentine’s Day celebrations with love (and organization).
