Winter weather can be tough on skin and hair. A decrease in humidity, wind, snow and cold temperatures can leave your hair lifeless and your skin starving for moisture. Sure, you can lather on creams and conditioners but what you really want to do is to feed your skin and your hair with a high […]

Butternut squash mac and cheese isn’t just a recipe for sneaking more vegetables into your diet. Adding butternut squash to your mac and cheese also gives it a gorgeous golden hue, makes for an extra-silky sauce, and adds a sweeter, earthier taste to the classic.
We think butternut squash mac and cheese should be your go-to seasonal comfort food, just as welcome on a Wednesday night as it is at your holiday table. Here is the easiest way to get from cubed squash to deluxe mac and cheese at home.

Don’t be embarrassed. You can admit it: You’ve indulged in a little drunk online shopping. I know I have. The perfect time to shop is actually after a couple cocktails. Your inhibitions are lower, and it’s easier to convince yourself that you deserve the expensive appliance you’ve had your eye on for months. Plus, you can find anything your heart desires from the comfort of your couch, now that the internet is just one big shopping mall. A recent survey, however, claims that there are some drinkers who are prone to spending more money online shopping than others.

Costco is a reliable go-to for just about everything in life, including fabulous things like Wagyu beef, diamonds, and caviar. In fact, for a little while now Costco has been stocking serrano ham (prosciutto’s Spanish cousin), and based on how quickly it flies off the shelf, it would be the jewel of any holiday table.

Do you have a bonus fridge or freezer? My family was just gifted a standing freezer for our garage, and I have daydreams of it stacked with organized bins of grab-and-go breakfasts, homemade ice cream, and prepared slow cooker meals.
I’m starting to fill it with casseroles that I can prep on Sunday afternoon and that can be halved — one portion being eaten that evening and the other frozen for future eating. After a few short weeks I’ll have a stash of casseroles that can save me on busy weeknights. Here are 10 casseroles that I’m starting with — all of them freeze well and can be easily split for eating now and on a busy weeknight.

It’s easy to swoon over beautiful-yet-pricey kitchen tools, like pretty colored stand mixers, Vitamix blenders, and Dutch ovens. But, when it comes to the essential, can’t-live-without kitchen tools that we use day in and day out, all of our go-tos are actually totally budget-friendly.
All of these tools are seriously useful, and come in handy on a daily basis. And, best of all, they don’t cost hundreds of dollars, but tens of dollars — or in some case, just a few.
Here are 10 essential (and inexpensive) kitchen gadgets that every last one of us need. I seriously don’t recommend cooking without these things on hand.

Ina Garten, the queen of our kitchens, is (it turns out) also a goddess of gifts. That’s right — People got the Barefoot Contessa herself to spill the beans on her favorite holiday gift choices for those of us whose lives center on cooking and hosting, and none of them cost more than $100. It’s like Oprah’s favorite things list for the cook!
With Hanukkah coming up next week and Christmas right behind it, the season of presents is upon us, and thankfully Ina has great ideas on what we should buy (or, better yet, what other people should get us).

When it comes to my personal meal plan, you can count on one thing: it will involve the slow cooker at least once a week all year long. The slow cooker is a constant and unbelievably helpful presence in my kitchen. I use it for everything and anything, but come the cold days of fall there are certain classics, like hearty beef chili and pumpkin spice oats, that I absolutely cannot pass up. And you shouldn’t either.

Some furnishings really earn their keep in your home — multitaskers like poufs, side tables, and storage ottomans come to mind. They’re a surface for drinks, a spot to stash stuff, a makeshift seat when you’re throwing a party or having friends over. And then there are those style chameleons that can hold their own and adapt to any setting or space, and for that, they are invaluable.
IKEA’s picture rails definitely fall into that latter category. You can use them in just about any room of the house, and depending on what you’re looking to put on them, you can go shallow with the MARIETORP or a bit deeper with the MOSSLANDA offerings.
If you think pictures are the extent of what these guys can display, you’ve got another thing coming. Sure, they do have a built-in groove to angle your art so it really shines. But let’s think bigger, shall we? Because this IKEA classic is far more versatile than you may think.

For a long time I listened exclusively to music while cooking, occasionally getting annoyed when a song I didn’t like popped up on the playlist and I had to clean off my hands in order to skip it. That all changed when podcasts started taking off a few years ago.
If, like me, you live alone or tend to do much of your cooking by yourself, listening to podcasts will help pass the time away. I’ve found that listening to podcasts while I’m chopping and prepping ingredients or standing over my stove helps hold my attention for any recipe that takes longer than five minutes to prepare.
Generally, I don’t listen to food-related podcasts while cooking. I find it difficult to follow a recipe when what’s being talked about in the podcast includes other types of food or cuisines. Luckily, there are endless engrossing non-food related podcasts worth listening to. I’m a huge fan of narrative and true crime podcasts, and any podcasts that feature engaging or enlightening interviews.
Here’s a list of my favorite podcasts of the moment for you to check out the next time you’re cooking.
For now classes are 6pm and 640pm at 2840 Wildwood st in the Boise Cloggers studio.
