You have my son to thank for this recipe, as he’s been asking me to make “healthy donuts” for the last two weeks.

I’m in love with our baby monitor . For the last 21 months of my son’s life, it’s been totally reliable and has given me peace of mind at each nap and bedtime. So you can imagine my surprise when my husband and I were awoken at 4:30am to the sound of our baby monitor alerting us that the battery was low– when it was still plugged into the charger! In our groggy, still-asleep state, we couldn’t figure out why our charger had stopped working, but once we finally woke up we immediately figured out the problem....

My favorite candies have always been the chocolate-coated variety, with a bit of a salty element– like Snickers , Twix , and Reese’s . You may recall that I actually made some Healthy Almond Butter Cups several years ago, but Austin and I have always agreed that the mini peanut butter cups are far superior to the full-size cups. I think it has something to do with the peanut butter-to-chocolate ratio....

When I worked in a restaurant, our prep chefs would spend each evening parboiling potatoes for the next morning. This made them soft on the inside, so the chefs could focus on frying the outside to crispy perfection the next day. Luckily for us, oven-roasted potatoes are a lot less work. I’ve spent the past few weeks testing batch after batch of potatoes in the oven, and as a result, I’ve learned a few things that will give you excellent results every time....

As we quickly approach my due date, I’m starting to ramp up my labor preparation a bit —because, up until now, I’ve done almost nothing! I’ve technically got about 4 weeks to go, but considering that my son arrived 3 weeks early, we are prepared for anything at this point. (Although I have to admit, I’m hoping this one takes his or her sweet time… I’m in no rush.)...

This warm roasted vegetable salad is one of my favorite ways to use fresh produce in the winter months. Sturdy veggies like cauliflower, brussels sprouts, or sweet potatoes get roasted in the oven while you blend together a quick balsamic vinaigrette. The combination of cool and crunchy romaine lettuce, plus warm veggies and a comforting dressing, will leave you craving more salad— even when it’s chilly outside! I had brussels sprouts and sweet potato on hand when I took photos of this recipe, but it’s also equally delicious with roasted cauliflower, broccoli, beets, or carrots....

While chicken is a popular protein to cook, not everyone does it well. After testing this recipe multiple times, I’ve realized you can make it more foolproof with these two tips: Pay attention to the thickness. Chicken breasts always vary by size, so you can’t expect the exact timing to work for every piece. That’s why I took the time to develop a guide that you can use to determine the cooking time based on thickness....
