How to Save Your Favorite Recipes {A Quick Video From Me to You 🎥} + Two of My Favorite Recipes United in One Delicious Bowl
|
Friends, Hello! And Happy New Year 🎉 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 — sweet potato taco filling and slow cooker black beans — 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 — 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.

Friends, hello! Today I have three things to share with you: muffin tin focaccia, a holiday party trick, and the three cakes I rely on during the holiday season. First: focaccia. Recently I've been asked multiple times if the focaccia could be made into mini loaves by using a muffin tin. I had my doubts, worrying the focaccia would be too squished in those little wells, so decided to give it a go to confirm. I made the dough Thursday and stuck it in the fridge. Yesterday afternoon, I removed...
Friends, hello! Next year, woven into my countdown-to-Thanksgiving timeline, I am going to include holiday shopping deadlines. Every year, I obsess about Thanksgiving and being organized, and then as soon as it passes, I feel panicky because I have not purchased a single gift. Alas. I do always keep a little tally of things I've loved over the year, and I've compiled them all here: Holiday Gift Guide 2025. This year's guide includes delicious flour that works beautifully with the peasant...
Friends, hello! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We spent it at my parents' house in Connecticut with my sister's family and my brother and sister-in-law. It was a treat to all be together, and, as always, the time passed too quickly. By Friday afternoon, we had all scattered in different directions, and the weekend madness had begun. Yesterday, before leaving, I made turkey tetrazzini, a variation of a recipe for chicken tetrazzini one of you had emailed me a few months ago. I...
