2:04:00 PMUnknownAllrecipes DishNo commentsAbout that zucchini you planted in the garden earlier this year, it’s kinda taking over, isn’t it? By August, the fear of being squished under a mountain of summer squash seems all too real. No way to zoodle yourself out of this one; you need a Plan B.
Luckily, there’s a holiday that solves this problem. It occurs every summer on August 8: “Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day” — a holiday that needs little further explanation, though it’s worth noting that porches are not technically required. Any doorstep will do. Go ahead — rid yourself of excess bushels of zucchini. Because sharing is caring.

And because a food holiday without tasty recipes is just too sad to contemplate, here are some 5-star zuke recipes we’re loving this summer. Feel free to share them with your newly zucchini-laden neighbors.

10:49:00 AMUnknownAllrecipes DishNo commentsWe all want to cook healthy homemade meals during busy weeknights, but finding the time is a major challenge.
Here’s a simple strategy that will give you back hours during the busy work week: Prep all your ingredients for the week at one time. You’ll be amazed how much time you save — and weekday dinners will come together 1-2-3.
Here are time-saving tips — and four weeks’ worth of recipes — to get you through the busy weekdays with your sanity fully intact (and your family fully fed!).
1) On Sunday, do your grocery shopping for the entire week — a big time saver in its own right!
2) Once you have the goods, check out the recipes’ ingredient lists to determine how much and what kind of prep you’ll need for each ingredient throughout the week. (We’ve made it simple in our menu plans below.)
3) Sunday afternoon, set aside some time for washing and prepping ingredients. Note: Don’t pre-prep fresh herbs, potatoes, and other ingredients that are delicate or might discolor if pre-prepped.
4) Put the pre-prepped ingredients into containers or baggies for each recipe, label them, and pop ’em in the fridge.

4:52:00 PMUnknownAllrecipes DishNo commentsA few years ago, the foodie world went mad for macarons. People were spending a small fortune on these pretty French cookies, while others attempted to recreate them in their own kitchens. I, personally still have flashbacks from times I tried to make them; there are so many things to consider. Should you use aged egg whites or plain old regular egg whites? Leave the oven door ajar or leave it closed? It was a nightmare.
Then along came the cronut. Ah, yes, these croissant/doughnut hybrids are certainly tasty. Once again people were lining up outside on pavements desperate to buy this new wonder pastry. Some brave bakers even tried making them at home. I warn you, homemade cronuts are not for fainthearted. Frying up these large buttery pastries in a small kitchen is pretty terri-frying!

Now the foodie world is buzzing about the French éclair, and for once I am genuinely excited. The French éclair is, for me, simply perfection. It’s got it all: delicate pastry, creamy and light crème pâtissière, and a thin film of glossy chocolate. They are also simple to make, which makes me happy.
Choux pastry might sound scary, but it’s actually one of the easiest pastries to make. Then the filling can be as simple as whipped cream or the more traditional (and a little more difficult) crème pâtissière.
Photo by Vicky McDonald
What is different about this new French eclair is purely aesthetics. The reinvented éclair — currently trending in big cities all over the world — is a little more high-class and fashion focused. These pretty pastries are dressed up with gold leaf, candied rose petals, pralines, and mini meringues. They are works of art. Stores like Maitre Choux in London, L’Éclair de Génie in Paris and Japan are more like art galleries than pastry stores. These modern éclairs are not only beautiful, but some carry messages too: Éclair Gay Pride, Éclair 4th of July – they celebrate life!
Photo by Vicky McDonald
Recently, I took a trip to Choukette in Seattle to sample these new arty eclairs for myself. The minute you walk in the door, you feel like you are somewhere special. The éclairs are all laid out like jewels, all glossy and shiny beneath a glass counter.
Photo by Vicky McDonald
I wanted them all – lemon curd with meringue drops, praline with chocolate and hazelnut cremeux, strawberry and lime with fromage blanc. After much deliberation, I carefully chose two, and both were wrapped up in a fancy box and bag, like an expensive pair of shoes.
Photo By Laura Fakhry
These éclairs aren’t cheap, but then again, it’s all about the experience. It’s the perfect treat to spoil yourself, or a great gift for a friend. Personally, I can’t resist them, and I will be indulging with these posh éclairs when I can. Meanwhile, I will also be experimenting at home with some simple éclair recipes, and might even attempt some adventurous fillings too.
Try your hand!

3:00:00 PMUnknownAllrecipes DishNo commentsFun and functional, the new Allrecipes™ cookware was designed to cater to our community’s mission of getting dinner on the table after a busy day. These stylish sets of state-of-the art sauce pans, skillets, and Dutch ovens were created to give cooks the tools to efficiently make meals without making a big, hot mess.

That means sauce pan lids do double duty as strainers, and an even-heating skillet is fitted with a steamer, so you can make the main course while a side dish cooks simultaneously on top. Some pieces even let you know when it’s time to toss the ingredients in the pan to saute.
The fry and saute pans share an attribute every cook has got to love: The advanced nonstick surface makes clean up easy peasy. And guess what? They’re dishwasher safe!
Created for the home cook, Allrecipes™ cookware also includes high-tech features that professional chefs demand, including even-heating cooking surfaces and flared rims for drip-free pouring. Here are some details that should make choosing cookware a pleasure.

Imagine scrambling eggs without a drop of oil or a pat of butter, and being able to wipe the pan clean after dishing up. That’s the magic of the QuanTanium® nonstick coating, which is a feature of both the 2 piece Fry Pan Set and the 8 piece Cookware Set. This next level nonstick is free of the chemicals long associated with that clean-cooking feature, instead using reinforced titanium to create the slick surface.
This carefully curated collection covers all the bases, from generously sized skillets, to sauce pans that are genius for feeding a crowd, to an 8-inch fry pan that hits the sweet spot if you’re cooking for one or two. The brushed-and-polished finish makes these beauties good looking enough to go from stove-to-table, carrying creations like Overnight French Toast.

There’s nothing worse than cold spots when you’re browning chicken, searing a steak, or trying to achieve that golden hue you’re craving when caramelizing onions. Hard anodized pans go to the head of the class for being one of the best heat conductors around, which means food cooks evenly.
These sets are a dream for every apartment dweller who battles to find space for everything in the kitchen.

Allrecipes’ Alli Shircliff showed off the 3 Piece set’s versatility during a fast-paced segment on HSN, and wrote about her experience.
“I received the 10-inch (Sizzle Sensor™) fry pan, and so far, I’m in love! This pan is not only beautiful to look at, but it also performs perfectly. I really love the heat indicator and comfort grip handle. I have been using it non-stop, cooking everything from eggs to veggies, to various meats and even Alfredo sauce… everything cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend this pan!” – Christina Perri, an Allrecipes Allstar who is part of our voluntary Brand Ambassador program.
Another Brand Ambassador, Melissa Goff, posted gorgeous food photos on Instagram and gushed:
“Allrecipes’™ Sizzle Sensor™ Cookware in action! Favorite cooking vessel to date!!! I’m thoroughly impressed, love the red indicator on the handle for pre-heating, love the way it handled my cooking style and my crazy sensitive stovetop, and totally love the color. I was able to transition from browning pork sausage, wipe out the pan, add minimal butter for my eggs and go straight into making quesadillas without anything sticking. And when I was finished, the pan wiped out clean super easy and then hand washed and put away. Love the feel and quality of the fry pan. Wasn’t too heavy or too light. I see future purchases of this cookware line!”

2:46:00 PMUnknownAllrecipes DishNo commentsHalloween is the holiday when grownups embrace the excuse to dress up and act like kids, except that there’s usually booze involved. Colorful Jell-O shots speaks to the party crowd, offering cooks loads of opportunities to be creative. Here are a 4 ways to make the best Halloween cocktails that jiggle.
Candy Corn Jell-O Shots | Photo by Leslie Kelly
While most Jell-O shots are single flavors spiked with vodka, colorful Halloween candy provides the spark that get your friends dishing out compliments like crazy. There’s no more iconic treat than Candy Corn, and though it takes time to assemble Candy Corn Jell-O Shots — a series of filling and cooling each layer — the results are so cute. They’re definitely a massive hit on Pinterest, to the tune of 500 pins and growing. Pro tip: Get tall shot glasses to more closely resemble that tri-colored candy.
Who doesn’t enjoy chomping on a dismembered witch’s finger or a eyeball suspended in clear, spirited gelatin? Cue Homer Simpson drooling: “Mmmm, eyeballs.” You those eyeballs can be made from scratch or plop in a purchased product. Just say ewww with a Pink Brain Shooter. And turn straight-up Jell-O shots into something creepy by adding booze-soaked gummy worms.

The hottest trend in Jell-O shots is… well, shots. Shots squeezed out of syringes is one sure-fire way to get every bit of Jell-O in your mouth. A search at several national drug stores came up shot, so plan ahead because you’ll need to order funny serving syringes online. Good news is you can reuse them. You know, unlike regular syringes.
Photo by ThisBottleofVodka blog on Tumblr.
It’s easy to convert your favorite Halloween drink — like a Mexican Vampire or a Salem Witch — by dissolving 1 teaspoon of plain gelatin in warm water and stir. Add it to a mixed drink and pour into shot glasses and chill. BOOm!
Before diving into the shooters, it’s essential to do some serious snacking, so the tummy and the head don’t ache the following morning. (Jell-O shots are sneaky boozy.) So, let’s get the party started with some savories from our outstanding collection of Halloween Recipes:

2:17:00 PMUnknownAllrecipes DishNo commentsIn the frantic rush to get the kids off to school with a healthy lunch in hand, we go for convenience.
We stuff sandwiches and other goodies into plastic baggies or wrap them up in aluminum foil and wax paper; we toss individual packages of chips, yogurts, puddings, and juices into bags — packaging that gets a single use and then lands in the garbage…and eventually the landfill.
The cost of convenience is high, however. In fact, according to Waste Free Lunches, an average school-aged child’s lunch box generates an estimated 67 pounds of waste per school year. That’s 18,760 pounds of lunch waste for just one average-size elementary school. As a result, our landfills are overflowing and incinerators are burning up loads of plastic waste, polluting the air we breathe. Meanwhile, Ecowatch reports that “93 percent of Americans age 6 or older test positive BPA (a plastic chemical).”
Here are some ideas for how to turn a typical disposable school lunch into a waste-free, reusable lunch.
Photo by Meredith
You can purchase fun “bento box” style lunchbox inserts, like the one shown above, from Target or similar stores. Or stow sandwiches and snacks in reusable, washable sandwich bags, like these from lunchskins.
Reusable Sandwich Bags | Photo by Meredith
Sure, there’s bound to be a learning curve as kids get used to toting empties back home for washing, but once you establish your waste-free routine, you’ll both feel good about your eco-smart lunch box.

BONUS: Making lunches like this means you can buy foods in larger quantities — which saves money while it protects the planet! Waste Free Lunches estimates that packing a waste-free lunch results in a savings of $246.60 per person each school year.

Spring for real crabmeat instead of imitation if your budget allows. If not, you can make this salad with cooked shrimp.
