Pho broth is unlike any other beef broth for two reasons: the aromatic vegetables are charred before cooking the broth, and the broth is heavenly spiced. Whether you’re making pho broth at home from scratch or doctoring up store-bought beef broth, warming spices are the secret to the best pho broth at home.

Before you drain that can of chickpeas, know that you have one pretty tasty dessert component on your hands. Save the liquid, called aquafaba, and it in fact can be whipped up into a sweet vegan icing for any and all treats.

If you liked playing with Play-Doh as a kid, you’d probably like making monkey bread since it requires you to form lots of little balls of dough that then get rolled in butter and cinnamon sugar. That’s the fun part about making monkey bread, but I don’t find making the dough itself all that enjoyable — especially when I want monkey bread fast. That’s where this store-bought staple comes in handy: frozen white bread dough!

Last year I spent part of my honeymoon traveling through Vietnam, starting in Hanoi (the birthplace of pho) and slowly snaking our way south to Ho Chi Min City. I considered these two weeks to be the ultimate pho-eating marathon, a chance to experience and enjoy this traditional noodle soup on a daily basis.

And aside from eating the best beef pho of my life, I also learned a few important lessons.

If ricotta toast is the kind of food that speaks to your soul, just wait until you taste what ricotta can do to a baked potato. Paired with sweet roasted tomatoes and a pinch of oregano, creamy ricotta turns a simple baked potato into a dreamy dinner star.

I don’t have any children, but as my friends start having babies, I begin to (sort of) understand the pains of parenthood — sleepless nights, spit-up all over your clothes, and, perhaps the worst of all, the pressure of planning birthday parties. If any of you are in this predicament, I suggest you lean on this cute fall picnic party that Camille Styles put together for Oh Happy Day.

I’m all about a picnic (have to enjoy the nice weather when you can!), and this farm-themed party is perfect for children and adults alike.

We live in a time when most grocers have at least one aisle dedicated to internationally sourced ingredients, and we can get hard-to-find ingredients delivered to our front doors with ease. So you’d probably be successful at tracking down most of the ingredients you need for traditional beef pho between those two sources, but I urge you to make a visit to your local Asian grocer before beginning your pho journey.

With bagged broccoli slaw and a spoonful of red curry paste, you’re two ingredients away from totally transforming instant ramen into a veggie-packed noodle soup with a warm curry flavor.

My daughter wasn’t quite 3 when we brought home her baby brother. Disoriented, sleep-deprived, and cranky, we waded through the first two months, doing our best to keep our oldest content and fed, but largely unaware of how the transition was affecting her.

It was only when we started to pull ourselves out of survival mode and find a new normal as a family of four that we discovered our 3-year-old was hungry for more than just family dinner. Date nights at home — for me and my daughter and for my husband and my daughter — became a remedy for a host of emotional and behavioral issues that come from the delicate transition to two children.
