My husband and I were experimenting with steak and wanted a homemade dry rub instead of our usual store-bought seasoning. This Kansas City–style rub turned out bold and flavorful — we didn’t need any steak sauce. My husband kept saying it had been a long time since he enjoyed a steak that didn’t require sauce.

My husband and I always order the pork wonton tacos at Applebee’s — they’re delicious but often too salty and greasy from deep-fried wonton shells. This at-home version is a bit lighter: less salt and the shells are browned on a griddle instead of deep-fried. One day I found a great deal on a pork … Read more

A while back I shared a no-bake Eclair Ice Box Cake. This version is the baked interpretation and delivers the familiar flavors of a classic éclair while still using simple, accessible ingredients. Instead of stacked cookies, the base here is pâte à choux — the same light pastry dough used to make traditional eclairs — so the finished cake has a more authentic éclair character.
In my last cupcake tutorial I mentioned that my kids’ birthdays are three days apart. I enjoy making special cakes for them, even when the process is stressful, because it’s a chance to practice and improve my skills.
