How to Save Your Favorite Recipes {A Quick Video From Me to You ๐ฅ} + Two of My Favorite Recipes United in One Delicious Bowl

โ
โ Friends, Hello! And Happy New Year ๐ I have been meaning to create this video on how-to-save-your-recipes or such a long time. Nearly every month I get an email from someone asking: "Where are my saved faves?" Apologies to anyone who has found the saving process tricky. I hope the new video is helpful. This week I made two of my favorite recipes โ sweet potato taco filling and slow cooker black beans โ and found myself eating them together on repeat, often in bowl form like this: I hadn't made the sweet potato taco filling in such a long time, and I had forgotten how easily it comes together. I use the shredder attachment of my food processor to "grate" the sweet potatoes and in place of the spices I've been using a few teaspoons of Penzeys taco seasoning, which makes the process go just a teensy bit faster. You can use the filling for quesadillas, too:
Or burritos (also with the black beans):
I know I have sung the praises of these slow-cooker black beans countless times before, but if you have a slow cooker, I can't recommend the recipe enough: it can be assembled in about 5 minutes in the morning and the beans will be cooked by midday. I use this same method for chickpeas, too, but the chickpeas take a little longer to cook.
I can eat these beans straight from the pot โ they are perfectly seasoned and just so tasty!
Friends, I hope all is well! And that you survived the holidays. Homebody that I am, I am so happy to be back in my routine. Hope you are, too.

For many people, memories of boiled, mushy Brussels sprouts conjure mostly horror. For me, having only discovered them in my 20s, when chefs had figured out how to capitalize on their inherent sweetness, it is only a story of love. My first crush came from Alta, a restaurant in the West Village, where they emerge crispy and tangled with apples, crรจme fraรฎche, and pistachios. The second came from Ina, who roasts them with pancetta, then drizzles them with syrupy balsamic; and the third from a...
Friends, hello! This week, the pumpkin muffin experiments ended when I made a batch with a mix of baking soda and baking powder, and the muffins emerged from the oven with beautifully domed tops and a nicely golden hue without a trace of a metallic taste. They tasted heavenly, perfectly spiced and pumpkin-y with the loveliest texture. As noted last week, the pumpkin muffin experiments began last month when my two youngest kids wanted to bake, and I suggested we make pumpkin bread but in...
Hello from Long Island, Friends ๐ I'm here with my 12-year-old for a hockey tournament, and my only goal for the long weekend is to eat as many great bagels as I can. All suggestions are welcome! This week, I had hoped to share two recipes I unintentionally found myself working on: pumpkin muffins and yeasted pumpkin bread. A few weeks ago, on one of the September school holidays, my two youngest kids wanted to bake, so I suggested we make pumpkin bread but in muffin form. The muffins turned...
