Telling food stories, one kitchen at a time
I kind just wanna talk about me. It’s my first favorite subject (my second, being food) and we haven’t done it in a while. Should we talk about me? or do you want my overture on Simply Braised Chicken Thighs with Root Vegetables. Yep, just knew it was going to be the Chicken Thighs. We can talk about me at a later date. Meaty thighs win every time.

Okay – I started this post last week, but cell phones are harrrrd for blogging. I couldn’t figure out how to add photos. And what’s a blog post without photos? Sorry (not sorry) that NOW you are going to be changing up your Thanksgiving menus at the last minute ’cause… you’ll want some of my Thanksgiving favorites! I just know it!

Errrrmmmahhhhhgaaaawhhhhh.
Caramel. Apple. Butter. Bars.
Easily the best thing I’ve ever made.
Like, this is what I’m going to start my business with. I just keep thinking about it. People will come for these. And then they’ll come back. And then they’ll buy sheets and sheets of Caramel Apple Butter Bars for private parties and pretend that they’re homemade when really DANIELLE made them. Hi :).

I mean, really, let’s just pretend. We are four years old and we have these wonderful imaginations! We can close our eyes and imagine the most outrageous things, like living in a bouncy house on the moon with our best friend. Or having a white-speckled talking pony. Or that these outrageously gooey, hearty chocolate chips cookies are healthy.

These are the best crab cakes. Mmmkay? Mmmkay!
But first, let me do a little shameless plug because, even though The Every Kitchen has not been bumpin’ the past several months, I’ve had a little traffic thanks to some great people finding my recipes. Since we’re now in the baby stages of pumpkin season, let me direct you to this pumpkin-food-yum Buzzfeed post where you will find my recipe for 5-Minute Smokey Pumpkin Hummus. ←←← or just click that.

Ekkk. I know. This is very bittersweet for me. So many mixed feelings.
Let’s talk about the salad first, mmmkay?
I kind of wanted to call this Spring Bikini Salad because that’s mah goal. Beach volleyball will be here before we know it. And even if we don’t actually play, we wanna look good in our short shorts sipping on beachtinis. Am I right?

Irish Cream Cupcakes with Pistachio Swiss Meringue are a beautiful spring treat. This classy recipe is perfect for Saint Patrick’s Day or Easter or any other “just because” occasion. Impress everyone and watch them fight over the first and last cupcake crumbs.
Plan: Irish Cream Cupcakes with Pistachio Swiss Meringue for a pre-party house-party for Chicago’s celebration of St. Patrick’s Day. Impress new friends and make even newer friends with the deliciousness and beauty and classy-ness of said cupcakes.

I made this puppy on Saturday night. Yep, Saturday PM, in the eve, late-night style. I know a 20-something city-slicker should be out doing 20-something city-slicking things, but you guys — I’m really a mid-30s-year-old at heart. In my heart, I’m maybe 36 and I have two small children in bed and a husband watching some man movie on the couch. And my handsome husband is going to think I’m a kickass wife with a heart of gold for whipping up something, anything, with chocolate, coffee, and whiskey, even if it’s not done until midnight.
