I’m not vegan, but I am a big fan of vegan recipes. I’m always looking for ways to eat more vegetables, and I feel like plant-based recipes do a great job of keeping the vegetables front and center. During the winter, I spend a lot of time looking for plant-based, vegetable-heavy recipes that are hearty and warming enough to be appealing and comforting even when there’s an ice blizzard outside. This plant-based take on vegetable tikka masala fits the bill perfectly.

Here’s a sweet way to encourage cooking skills in any aspiring junior chefs you may know: Make an Instant Pot in which they pretend cook all their favorite recipes, both real and imagined! It’s like a play kitchen, but even better. The process of making these mini pots isn’t exactly simple, but it’s absolutely worth busting out your crafting skills for. And when it’s done you’ll be bringing a kid joy during the holidays. That’s reason enough to dust off the old glue gun right? Right. Here’s how you do it.

If there is one thing Ina Garten is known for, it’s her roast chicken. It’s her signature dish for Friday night supper with Jeffrey, and anyone and everyone who’s ever made it raves about it. (Five stars! 1,000+ reviews!)

Yet despite the accolades and fanfare, I’d never actually made her version before. My go-to roast chicken recipe is actually Jacques Pepin’s — I’ve stuck with it for years for it’s sheer simplicity. But lately I’ve been less enthusiastic about it because of problems with the skin sticking to the skillet and lack of crispiness. So I decided to give Ina’s a try and, perhaps unsurprisingly, I loved it.

I’ve been writing a lot about Trader Joe’s fantastic seasonal pop-up items (like wheat stalks!) over on Apartment Therapy. It’s my go-to favorite store for lazy decorating on the fly, and on the cheap.

Their latest offering: Dried lavender, which you can find in bundles right inside the front door and throw in your cart while you do the regular weekly grocery shopping. Buy these while they last at the store, because they’ll last forever at home. The best news: You can use a bundle as a natural organic-looking alternative to theme-y holiday decorating for the entire winter.

But Seattle’s got its own style, and last night cookbook author, model, and queen of Twitter Chrissy Teigen sampled one and declared it “a DELIGHT” (her caps, not ours).
