When I was growing up, my family wasn’t particularly adventurous when it came to the dinner table. We relied on a foundation of Italian American and French classics for most meals; my dad could make a two-day opera-soundtracked production out of even the most basic pasta sauces (an early lesson in marketing). So when I got to the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen in 2011, my culinary education was still just beginning—I couldn’t have told you the difference between cumin and coriander.Tucked away in my old cubicle-size kitchen station, recipe by recipe, I was taken inside the minds of hundreds of…

I have got a great winter-scented homemade cleaning spray for you today, that I’ve been using to naturally clean my home. It takes all of two seconds to make for a no-fuss, speedy clean. I find that February is always a difficult month. The clocks go back in October, and from then on in, it’s the cheery march to all the end-of-year festivities, twinkly lights, delicious food and all. Then January comes, and it feels like a bit of a reset. A quiet time to take stock, reflect and make plans for moving forward. It’s a time of year I…

Wedding Planning Isn’t Always the Fairytale—and That’s Okay Wedding planning is often framed as a magical stretch of time marked by inspiration boards, meaningful choices, and shared excitement. But for many women, the reality is more layered. Alongside the joy comes scheduling pressure, emotional labor, and the quiet challenge of managing expectations—both others’ and one’s own. In the midst of coordinating details and balancing daily responsibilities, finding small, grounding rituals can make a noticeable difference. These moments of personal care don’t need to be elaborate to be effective. Often, they work best when they’re subtle, consistent, and tailored to individual…

There are a few things I know to be true, and one of them is this: whenever my brother and I are home with our parents, I ask for red chutney, and he asks for green. It’s been our unspoken order for as long as I can remember—and over time, green chutney has become one of those flavors I associate with comfort, familiarity, and being back at the table together. If you’ve ever had a hot samosa served with both chutneys, you already understand the appeal. The brightness of the green chutney against something warm and crispy is what makes…

InstructionsStep 1 If using masa harina, add it to a medium bowl. Slowly add ¾ cup of warm water (97°F), using your hands to mix until it just comes together into a moist dough that does not stick to your hands or crack. Step 2 To a blender or food processor, add the masa, milk, cream, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice and blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Place a fine-mesh strainer over a medium bowl and strain the mixture. Set aside.Step 3 In a large pot over low heat, melt the butter. When the foam subsides, add the brown sugar…

In July of 2025, Southwest Airlines (SWA) made national news when it announced it was ending its open seating policy on January 27, 2026. The reason Southwest never assigned seats is because aircraft do not make money on the ground and not having passengers try to figure out which seat was theirs helped turn planes around as fast as possible. Instead, they created a very time-consuming pre-boarding process. But once Wall Street got on its board and pushed the CEO to make changes to earn more money and appease business travelers, one of the first things to go was open…

I recently realized something that completely reframed how I think about income in America: a $200,000 household income is no longer middle class. Instead, under increasing college financial aid formulas, earning up to $200,000 now qualifies as low income or even poor. Being labeled “poor” or “low income” doesn’t sound great. But if $200,000 is the new poor according to these elite universities, there are suddenly real advantages to earning less for families. I’m amenable to this new label, as that’s all it is. The key is to understand what these changes mean for your family and how you can prosper because of it. I’ve…

Maybe you read my last post on the signs of a toxic relationship, and the lightbulb finally went off. But now comes the part that feels like a lead weight in your stomach: how to end a negative friendship without the drama. Do you owe them a long explanation, or is it okay to just stop? I know exactly how you’re feeling. You’re staring at your phone when a particular name pops up, and instead of a spark of excitement, your stomach drops. That…
