Simply Recipes / Wanda Abraham I had a revelation: oatmeal and peanut butter are a match made in dessert heaven. Each alone makes a wonderful cookie, but together they are the perfect duet! Like, cue cookie angels singing with a harp good.  To be fair, I haven’t met a cookie that I don’t like, but […]

Simply Recipes / Karishma Pradhan I’m a sucker for a French fry. I love a good fry hot off the fryer with a starchy inside and a crispy, salty coating. Who doesn’t? Up until recently, I indulged my craving for the popular side with a quick pass through the McDonald’s drive-thru or late-night delivery order […]

Simply Recipes / Elana Lepkowski There are a handful of martini drinks born out of the 90s that still work with the more nuanced palates of today’s cocktail drinkers. An espresso martini? Yes please! A Cosmo? It never goes out of fashion.  But have you ever heard of the French martini? Put your vermouth down, […]

Simply Recipes / Mark Beahm I love lemon scones on sunny mornings, whether it’s summer and I want something to match the weather, or winter and I can pretend it’s as warm as where lemon trees grow. There’s something classy but rustic about scones. They make me want to serve them with a fancy tea […]

Simply Recipes / Cambrea Gordon This festive copycat Dairy Queen ice cream cake is layered with rich chocolate ice cream, creamy chocolate fudge, crunchy Oreo pieces, and creamy vanilla ice cream, then frosted with whipped cream and finished with rainbow confetti sprinkles. This homemade version of the classic is a show stopping centerpiece for your […]

Simply Recipes / Elana Lepkowski Mangoes are a staple fruit in my Indian mother-in-law’s kitchen, and it’s always impressive to see how quickly and efficiently she can skin and break down a mango, leaving nothing but the oblong pit, in what seems like a matter of seconds.  She also gifts us with boxes of them, […]

Simply Recipes / Ciara Kehoe Sesame soba noodles are an all-star packed lunch for my kindergartener, middle schooler, and work-from-home husband alike. It’s got all the hits: springy, nutty soba noodles, a little sweetness, and the perfect trio of soy sauce, sesame seeds, and so much sesame oil.  Despite being a trained chef, packing a […]

Simply Recipes / Uyen Luu Cháo is “porridge” and gá means “chicken” in Vietnamese. It’s a savory and silky porridge that looks unassuming—it’s beige, sometimes white—but is incredibly delicious as is or when served with a crunchy chicken and cabbage salad, crispy fried shallots, and fresh herbs. In Vietnam, cháo gà is usually eaten for […]

Simply Recipes / Marta A Rivera Diaz I live in the land of tacos, aka San Antonio, Texas. Tacos are a religious experience here, so it only makes sense that the seasoning is handcrafted and uniquely mine.  This taco seasoning is a spice blend that’s smoky and herby. It eliminates the need to pull out […]

It is so hard for many Black […]
