This easy recipe has the hearty robustness and juicy tenderness of traditional chicken cacciatore, but is far faster to make. It uses simple, healthy swaps too. Cacciatore (pronounced Kah-Chuh-Taw-Ree) means “hunter” in Italian. Thus, chicken cacciatore means chicken that is prepared alla cacciatore or “hunter-style.”It’s a rustic stew-like dish (like France’s Beef Bourguignon) made with slow-simmered chicken (or rabbit), tomatoes, seasonal vegetables, and a splash of wine or vinegar....

Chocolate crinkle cookies take over the internet every year around the holidays and while I’ll never turn down a cookie, I have to admit they’ve never been my favorite.

Walking into home décor stores makes me feel simultaneously gripped by a sudden, dire need for an 18-person pumpkin-themed tablescape and as though I might have an actual epileptic fit, due to sensory overload. Of the three times I’ve ventured into a Pier 1 in the last seven months, I’ve walked out in fewer than six minutes, empty-handed and overwhelmed. The truth is, although the idea of filling my home with charming, seasonally-inspired decorative items appeals to me in theory (and in home decorating magazines), I simply don’t have enough personal interest to allocate my free time or wine budget to its end....

This post is sponsored by Smithfield. Have you ever attempted to make crepes at home? No? It’s okay. Up until recently I hadn’t either.

And, let me tell you, the whole idea that crepes are hard to make is the biggest BS in the culinary world....

I’m not sure how a holiday without butter would go down, but I don’t think I want to be a part of it. If ever an ingredient deserved a holiday theme song, butter might be it! Or bourbon might be it. We can debate over our second round of this warm bourbon cocktail! This hot buttered bourbon is warm, cinnamony, buttery romance. It sips like a special occasion. The butter melts into the apple cider and spices, adding creaminess and depth to every sip, while the smooth bourbon keeps the drink from being overly sweet....

Love Italian classic dishes? You’ll also love my Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe, Spaghetti alla Puttanesca, Lasagna Bolognese and Braised Beef Ragu.

There is no question that smoked pulled pork takes the crown every time. But if you really want that juicy pulled pork sandwich quick, Instant Pot pulled pork will do the trick. The problem with pulled pork made in a pressure cooker is that it tends to taste bland and the meat comes out a little dry and tough in my opinion. The added liquid required for building up pressure dilutes the flavor and ruins the texture....
