I love September. Where I live it’s that strange transition month where Mother Nature is super confused so sometimes it’s miserably hot and sometimes it’s freezing, but those times in between- when she gets it just right and we get cool, mild, sunny days? Perfection. This dessert is perfect for this time of year. Sometimes […]

You’ll notice here at Our Best Bites, our recipes sway with the seasons. We love using what’s fresh and in-season to take advantage of the best flavors. In most places around the country, peaches are in full swing. They’re extra sweet and super juicy this time of year and people are constantly emailing us asking […]

There is something about chicken and rice. It’s easy, it’s great comfort food, it’s delicious. My kids love it (well, except for my daughter who is expressing mild interest in vegetarianism). I saw this recipe in on of those America’s Test Kitchen compilation magazines (they should never stop making them because I end up buying every […]
My finals during my last semester of college were kind of weird–I had a whole bunch all at the beginning of the testing period, then I had a few days where I didn’t have anything, then I had one last final during the last block of time on the last day of testing. My on-campus […]
September brings cooler weather, changing leaves, and for many fans, the return of America’s favorite sport: Football! Gather ’round, invite over a crowd, and enjoy some of our most favorite recipes for entertaining on game days. These nachos. Oh these nachos. Smoked pork, savory bacon, tangy pepperoncini. They have everything and they will be gone […]
I have a long-standing love affair with fish tacos. I am also insanely picky about them–I am almost always disappointed by fish tacos I eat in restaurants (Dear North-of-Baton-Rouge Louisiana: Cornmeal-crusted fish is great fine for fish fries…please don’t do it to my tacos.) So it is a big deal when I say these fish […]
I loved talking favorite off-the-air TV shows a few weeks ago and it was so fun to chat with you guys about your favorites! Since we had so much fun, and since so many of you asked what my favorite shows are that are currently on the air, I can’t not tell you? Right? A few disclaimers: […]
It’s September. How did that happen?? Leaves are already changing at my house, I’ve been burning my Autumn candles for weeks, and I’m so ready for fall. Kate has already jumped into fall baking (and can we just say YUM, I want to make those) but I’m going to squeeze out a little more summer […]
So it’s still August, but my kids just wrapped up their third week of school. We’re kind of back in the swing of things, it’s sometimes a tiny bit chilly in the morning, and the fall candles are at Bath & Body Works (you know, the barometer of seasonal change). So even though we’re still […]

Earlier this summer I took off on an adventure overseas, and lots of you have been asking to see a glimpse of my travels. This was not any sort of sponsored trip (just ask my bank account), and it’s certainly not one everyone will pop on their family vacation bucket list, but if you’re anything […]
