My Thanksgiving Fake-Out Recipes!
The holiday season is all about spending time with family and friends, and eating delicious food, of course! It's crunch-time to get everything ready for the big day and these are a few of my favorite “fake-out” recipes that are simplified to make your Thanksgiving prepping stress-free!
Shaved Brussels Sprouts Salad with Dates, Manchego and Almonds
Between the turkey, dressing, sweet potato casserole, and pies, oven real estate is scarce on Thanksgiving. In the past, I've always made roasted brussels sprouts and juggled what needed to go in the oven when. This year, I'm giving myself a break with one less thing to take up that precious oven space -- I'm making my shaved brussels sprout salad instead.
What to Wear to Friendsgiving
Friendsgiving is a tradition at The Kitchen. Every year we invite some of Food Network friends to join us and bring their favorite recipes. This year, Ted Allen, Christian Petroni, and Martina McBride came for dinner. Ted made a delicious cranberry sauce, Christian fried up some Brussels sprouts and Martina made an apple cake that I will for sure be adding to my repertoire.
Turkey in Caja China
If you're looking to do something different this year for your turkey, I highly recommend the Caja China box. Known as the "magic" box, it's most often used to roast a whole pig but it works incredibly well for a turkey.
Thanksgiving Turkey Guide!
Everyone gets so freaked out about their Thanksgiving turkey. Fresh or frozen? How many pounds? To brine or not to brine? How long to cook? Stuff it or not? How often should it be basted? Stop, take a deep breath. I’ve got you covered.
It's All about the Striped Turtlenecks & Puffy Shoulders
I'm a sucker for a striped top. I have more than a few in my closet — short sleeve, long sleeve, sweaters — when I can't figure out what to wear, I know that I can throw on some stripes with skinny jeans.
Maple Pudding Cake
Every once in awhile, I have a recipe that surprises me. My culinary producer, Tim Macklin, asked me to come up with a recipe for a maple pudding cake. I decided to mimic my grandma's recipe for peach cobbler. The cake is more like biscuits, and instead of fruit on the bottom, I would make a thick, rich, creamy maple layer.
My Skincare Routine
Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my skincare routine in my DM’s. So, I thought I would share with you my process and the products I’m currently using.
Halloween Inspired Green Chicken Chili
Every Halloween at The Kitchen, our producers like to give us a good scare. To go along with all of the tricks, we are cooking up some treats. I am sharing my recipe for Green Chicken Chili. Chili is perfect to serve for a crowd on Halloween because you can put it on the stove and let everyone serve themselves. Set up a toppings bar with sour cream, cilantro, scallions, avocado, etc. I used a skull pan to make skull cheese crisps for garnish.
Cinnamon Rolls
This weekend on The Kitchen, I’m making the famous CINNAMON ROLLS for our “Sweet and Savory Start” episode. We are cooking up so many great breakfast recipes and I’m really excited to share these with all of you.
Mediterranean Shrimp "Cheat Sheet"
Katie Lee shares her Mediterranean Shrimp “Cheat Sheet” recipe! For a cheat sheet, everything goes onto one sheet pan and is baked in the oven. We like eating at home, especially during the week, so we really have time to hang out with each other and be with our precious pup, Gus.
Roll into Summer
You guys know I love my carbs. Pizza, pasta, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes – just a few of my faves. This summer I discovered a new love, the brand new Sara Lee Artesano Bakery Buns & Rolls.
Caramelized Vidalia Onion Dip
As you probably know by now, summer is my favorite time of year. Here in the Hamptons, I spend most of my time at the beach (with Gus of course!), on my little Boston Whaler boat, picking up goods at the farm stands, and cooking with my friends and family. On the coast of the northeast, we appreciate our summers so much after months upon months of bad weather, and we try to squeeze in every drop of fun that we can!
The 'Salad Bowl' of America
I get to travel to so many unbelievable locations for Beach Bites, but every once in a while, one of them captures my heart. Our entire crew fell in love with Monterey and Carmel, California. It’s so incredibly beautiful there and the drive along the Pacific Coast Highway is magical.
Beach Bites in the Bahamas
This week on Beach Bites, we are traveling farther south to The Bahamas. Nassau is one of the most popular port towns for cruise ships, and there is plenty to see right there in the harbor, but if you’re willing to go just a bit further, there is so much more to the island. The food is “off the chain” as they like to say.
New Season of Beach Bites!
I’m so excited that the new season of Beach Bites is here! My first episode is this Thursday, June 7th, and I’m kicking things off on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. It was my first time to the region and I wasn’t sure what to expect. I had never really thought of Mississippi as a beach destination. Well let me tell you, I LOVED it!
Beastie Burgers
The second I land in Los Angeles, my mouth starts to water in anticipation of the famous In-N-Out Burger. I love a double-double, animal style (that's code for double beef, double cheese, grilled onions and extra sauce). I'm not ashamed to admit that there was an occasion that I ate THREE in one sitting. Definitely didn't feel so hot the next day, but it was so good going down. Anyhoo, I decided to try to recreate these burgers in my kitchen. The results were even better than I expected! Definitely, try this at home.
