The first time I sliced into a baked Ratatouille Recipe, I wasn’t prepared for how soft the eggplant would be like butter, almost. The zucchini had soaked up all that garlic and tomato, and even the tomato slices themselves tasted richer than they had any right to. I’d made it because I had too many vegetables sitting on my counter, not because I thought it would become something I’d crave on a random Tuesday. But here we are. This version layers everything in a baking dish so it looks impressive without much fuss, and you can have it on the…

Thick slices of challah, golden and crispy at the edges, soaking in a custard that smells like sunshine. The first time I made this orange French toast, I was standing at the stove in my pajamas, and the whole kitchen smelled so good that William wandered in half-asleep asking what was for breakfast. This Orange French Toast with orange zest is one of those easy French toast breakfast recipes that feels bakery-fancy but comes together in your own kitchen, and if you’re in the mood for more cozy morning ideas, my Crispy Feta Fried Egg Recipe and Easy Biscuits And…

I just want to quickly say Happy Holidays to all of you who celebrate the holidays in any way and thank you so much for being here this year (or just today). I know not everyone experiences the holidays the same way (this time of year can be very difficult for many people). So wherever you are, however you’re feeling, I hope you can give yourself some time, grace and space to be with the people you love and who make you feel good. The EHD team office will be closed for two full weeks, and I am so relieved…

I took a tray of Strawberry cheesecake cookies out of the oven last month, and William poked one out with his finger before it was completely cool. “Why is it so thick?” he asked. “Because it’s filled with cream cheese and strawberry jam,” I replied. He took a bite, paused for a moment, looked at me, and said, “It tastes like the cheesecake from that restaurant.” He wasn’t wrong. The graham cracker crumbs in the batter give it a crisp crust flavor, and the filling in the middle is both deliciously sweet and savory If you like cookies that feel…

I burned the first batch. Not badly, just enough that the bottoms were too dark and William refused to eat them because “they taste like mistakes, Mom.” But the second batch? Golden, crispy, and so good that everyone grabbed seconds before I could even sit down. These Chicken Pillows are buttery crescent rolls wrapped around the creamiest chicken filling, topped with crunchy breadcrumbs and drizzled with homemade gravy that tastes like a hug in a bowl. They take half an hour, use ingredients I always have on hand, and somehow make a Tuesday night feel a little more special. If…

I know most of you are speeding toward the finish line today and probably aren’t here to read a long post. hang in there. We’re very close to the most magical week of the year – the days between Christmas and New Year, where the world goes quiet, and high expectations take over. It’s a collective sigh and embrace. So today is a quick progression of holidays throughout the year. Maybe it can remind you that decorating takes time, that you have to be in the mood to do it (I wasn’t in 2022), and that the internet is a…

This creamy, layered Seafood Lasagna with tender shrimp, sweet crabmeat, and three kinds of cheese feels like a warm hug on a plate. I first made this for my mom’s birthday dinner, and the smell of that buttery cream sauce bubbling away still takes me right back to her smile when she took that first bite. It’s easier than you’d think, too, with a simple white sauce and pantry ingredients that come together into something really special. You know that feeling when dinner needs to be impressive but not stressful? This creamy seafood lasagna recipe is that dish. The layers…

You know that dish you order every single time you go to your favorite restaurant? This spicy cucumber salad is mine. Cold, crunchy cucumbers soaked in a garlicky chili sauce that’s equal parts fiery and tangy. I had it for the first time at a little dim sum spot tucked between a dry cleaner and a hair salon, and I’ve been making it at home ever since. Turns out you don’t need much. Just cucumbers, some pantry staples, and about fifteen minutes of actual work. The rest is just waiting while the salt does its thing. I’ll throw this together…

Predicting design trends is super fun, so we really love doing it. But just because it’s fun doesn’t mean we don’t take it seriously. There is no secret magic ball; Instead, just pure love/obsession with design, constantly looking and checking lots of places on every platform. Does every trend we talk about “go viral”? No, but I would say we’re in the green overall 🙂 So today I thought it would be interesting to take a look at a bunch of the trends we talked about and see what we were right about and what didn’t move the way we…
