Easy Dinner: One Pan Pasta!

Easy Dinner: One Pan Pasta!

This one-pan skillet spaghetti recipe from Kathleen, the mom behind CatwithaK Cooks, is more of a technique than a rigid recipe, because it’s so easily adapted to your family’s tastes and dietary restrictions/allergies. “I learned this method when I worked for Martha Stewart. She was doing a one-pan pasta way before Tik Tok!” says Kathleen.

As we gear up for barbecues and backyard cookouts, we often find ourselves on the hunt for recipes featuring lighter fare, but that won’t compromise on flavor. So, we tapped former Today show food stylist and mom Alli Hawes to get some ideas and fresh meal inspiration for the summer weekends ahead!

Rosé Revised

Rosé is the official drink of summer, and it’s also a perfect base for warm weather cocktails. We asked Erica Blumenthal and Nikki Huginar, who co-authored Yes Way Rosé, for their favorite pink mixed drinks. Cheers to Summer!

Chocolate Cherry Smoothies!

Chocolate Cherry Smoothies!

This refreshing smoothie from Elizabeth Lim, the talented mom behind Beach Cities Moms, is an antioxidant and inflammatory powerhouse. Filled with superfoods like cherries and cacao, it can be made with any kind of milk and different types of nut butter. The best part? It tastes like chocolate covered cherries!

Roasted Cauliflower Tacos with Lime Avocado Crema

Roasted Cauliflower Tacos with Lime Avocado Crema

Introducing new vegetables (like cauliflower) to kids can be tricky. Experts recommend serving it in a form they are familiar with (in this case, tacos). Try it for Taco Tuesday, or anytime you need a quick, nutritious meal.

This sweet treat from Beach Cities Moms is full of tropical flavors, and since it skips the rum, is a perfect dessert for the whole family.

Cobb Salad Board by The BakerMama!

Cobb Salad Board by The BakerMama!

Two things we’re loving right now—food boards and salads. We’ve been sort of obsessed with the gorgeous boards created by The BakerMama for awhile now. Also, it is a great way to introduce kids to veggies they might not normally try!

Cheers to us, Moms! Today we are sharing two fruit-infused sangria cocktails (easily made into a mocktail for anyone not drinking by skipping the wine) from expert mixologist Kim Haasarud of Liquid Architecture and author of the 101 Cocktail book series, including 101 Sangrias and Pitcher Drinks.

Cinnamon Popovers!

Cinnamon Popovers!

We love this recipe from Melissa d’Arabian, celebrity chef and New York Times best-selling author. “Bread without yeast? Yes, please! And who doesn’t love the smell of cinnamon rolls warming up the house in the morning?”

Passover Lasagna

Passover Lasagna

Leah Koenig is a Brooklyn, NY-based mom of two and cookbook author. She’s known as an authority on modern Jewish cooking, so just in time for Passover, we asked her to share one of her favorite holiday recipes. “I love this matzo lasagna because it is a filling, simple, and incredibly tasty main that can serve a family well (with leftovers) during the week of Passover,” says Leah.

Easter Surprise Cake

Easter Surprise Cake

Who doesn’t love cake!? It’s even better when you have a lovely little surprise inside, and nothing goes better with Easter than jelly beans. Ok, truth be told, jelly beans are my least favorite (haha shhh), but they are my son’s and husband’s favorite. So, this one is for them…and I’ll eat the cake!
