This super fluffy peanut butter and jelly pancake bake has swirls of peanut butter and jam right on top. Basically heaven in the oven. Have you been watching Nadiya Hussain’s shows on Netflix?

Super Moist Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting
These incredibly moist chocolate cupcakes are my daughter Estelle’s favorite recipe from my newest book, “Cupcake Cookbook for Kids“. We made them for her ninth birthday, then again, and again.

4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies: The Simplest (Gluten-Free) Recipe Ever
If recipe testing has taught me anything this week, it’s this: Not everyone likes peanut butter cookies. For example, two and a half of my kids. (One can’t decide. Because #kids.) But if you like peanut butter cookies these are the peanut butter cookies for you. Actually, if you like peanut butter cookies that your…
3-Step Chocolate-Peanut Butter Pilgrim Hats for Thanksgiving
If there’s an easier Thanksgiving food craft to make, you’ll have to convince me because these 3-Step Chocolate-Peanut Butter Pilgrim Hats are the simplest treat we’ve ever done. Seriously. I made one, then went to check on our chickens outside (they’re new to the coop after spending a month in the garage.) When I came…
5 Healthy School Lunches Kids Can Make Themselves: Peanut Butter + Tortillas
I let my three elementary school aged kids make their own lunches for a week and here’s what happened. Everyone packed a fresh and healthy lunch–and everyone ATE that fresh and healthy lunch. They felt totally proud of themselves. It wasn’t no-work on my end but I can see how this will eventually get them…
3-Ingredient Strawberry-Peanut Butter Wraps
The idea for these easy strawberry-peanut butter wraps came from a new cookbook I’ve already grown to love,“Real Baby Food: Easy All-Natural Recipes for Your Baby & Toddler”. We’ve devoured had these several times and when I say “we” I mean all the kids, even baby Violet, and me. And we can’t wait to have…

peanut butter hot toddies
IT’S NOT SMOOTHIE WEATHER ANYMORE. We’re heading straight into hot chocolate season here but I’d rather not spend the rest of fall with three kids crying, wrestling, climbing kitchen counters and “mommmmmmy-ing”, all thanks to the inevitable sugar crash from cocoa. No can do. Enter, the warmest little mug of goodness to hit our kitchen…
Peanut butter chocolate chip pie
FOR PAUL’S BIRTHDAY I made a decadent dessert inspired by Dorie Greenspan’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Torte. But because I didn’t have quite everything on her shopping list available in Italy, I adapted it to suit my supermarket. The result was delicious and if I wasn’t trying to transform myself from a formerly pregnant person into…

Barefoot Contessa Makeover: Peanut butter & jelly bars (PB & J Bars)
WE’RE BACK TO TOAST around here. Every morning it starts around 6am. I hear murmurs from the next room, Phoebe’s ready to get out of bed and can I please make her some bekfist? On the plus side, she’s nearly two and a half and stays in her toddler bed until someone comes to help…
Chocolate scones with peanut butter
TOAST. TOAST WITH JAM. TOAST with peanut butter. This is how most mornings begin at our house, with a request for the same thing. Every day. Toast. In the past it’s been oatmeal which I admit is a gooier task to prepare and certainly to clean up. But really, how much can a piece of…
Peanut butter chocolate chip bacon cookies
YES, BACON. Thanks to an international subscription to The Food Network magazine, Paul was crunching his way through a dozen over-sized chocolate chip cookies tonight. But these weren’t just run of the mill birthday cookies. In addition to your basic flour, brown sugar, eggs and whatnot, these guy-friendly treats included peanut butter, bacon, a dash…
Grilled lemon chicken with buttered green beans
THIS WAS A CHILDHOOD FAVORITE OF MINE. Sort of. The 1980s version involved a bottle of lemon juice and a skillet, and I loved it. Now I use the grill pan and a real lemon, but the idea is the same. Marinated chicken is juicy and flavorful, just as perfect for a fresh summer dinner…

If you’ve ever wanted to know what is the healthiest vegetable for kids to eat, you’re in luck. Because there are so many! Here is what experts say: Nearly half of American kids ages 1 through 5 aren’t eating a vegetable on any given day. And nearly a third aren’t eating a daily fruit, according…
Healthy Pineapple Crisp Kids Love
You know I love serving healthy versions of decadent dishes for breakfast: like strawberry cobbler, peach crisp and now this healthy pineapple crisp! What makes this pineapple crisp healthy? We use whole oats instead of plain white flour. Only a scant half cup of sugar for the whole pan. Fresh pineapple (instead of canned) has…
What would Ina Garten do? (Picky Part 3)
How the Food Network taught me not to feed a family. I was a single girl in New York for so many years that a PB&J with baby carrots on the side became my default dinner. Why cook for one? Unless I was hosting a dinner party and changed gears. Here’s how that looked: First,…
Apple Nachos
My kids eat more apples than anyone I’ve ever met. Full of fiber and vitamins, it’s a great habit. But when we want to get really fancy, we make apple nachos. With peanut butter, caramel and fudge sauce drizzled over the top. Apple nachos are the BEST dessert for a crowd of kids. No cooking…
Cherry Tomato Candy Pasta
Move over homemade mac & cheese. This cherry tomato candy pasta is my kids’ new favorite pasta! We learned the recipe from Samin Nosrat (who wrote the excellent cookbook “Salt, Fat, Heat, Acid“) when she made it on the adorable Netflix kids’ show Waffles + Mochi. The secret is: roasting the tomatoes first. When you…
