The W&D Slack feed has been our go-to place for article sharing the past couple months, so when Stefani asked if we should bring back our monthly reading edit, it was a no-brainer! This month we peppered the list with everything from classic comfort food recipes to uncomfortable topics like staying unmarried, even when you’re married. …

Remember my last ice cream-focused article (are you appreciating my editorial range yet?) where I told you it was my job to pass along any and all life hacks to you? WELP. *DJ Khaled voice* ANOTHER ONE. I read this suggestion in a Lucky Peach magazine (RIP) awhile ago and I’ve been using it ever since. …

If you don’t want to spend the summer in the kitchen but you still want to eat healthy, then I have the perfect recipes for you. With longer days to soak up, I know I don’t want to be stuck inside longer than I have to be. But I don’t want to compromise healthy eating either. …

It’s full-on summer, and like any red-blooded American, I want to grill. A cold beverage, a contained flame, an excuse to stand outside and blast  Japandroids because they just get me. The “every day, a fresh new hell” landscape of 2017 has caused me to examine my entire life. Mostly: am I healthy? Is my wife healthy? I …

The kitchen. Simply defined as a place where food is cooked or prepared. But for many of us, it’s so much more than that. Food is tied intricately to memory, linking us to previous versions of ourselves, to people we’ve held close, to moments we’ve shared. It’s in this space that I learned who my mom …

I have never admitted this to anyone. Here it goes. I’m ready to get this off my chest. I’ve lied to everyone I love and myself for years. I’m a serial killer. Just kidding. *Nervous laughter* I love winter. Hate being COLD, but love winter. An excuse to do jack shit! Actually, good movies come out! …

I was born wanting to do things precisely. A perfectionist, detail orientated, rule follower. These characteristics, as you probably know, are a double-edged sword. I never faltered from A marks throughout all of my schooling, went on to play Division 1 golf in college, secured an elusive pharmaceutical sales position at the age of 22, and …

Winter’s coming. This line means something entirely different for Game of Thrones fans, but for those of us in the northern part of the country, it has always meant a welcome shift in the pace of life. Frankly, I’ve been waiting all winter for the cold and the snow, but all we’ve really had here is …

Man’s relationship with fire is about as old as language itself. Even with a multitude of wild, raw food available, primitive humans evolved to cook food– first for caloric reasons, then for taste preference, and eventually for efficiencies. Harvard biologist Richard Wrangham believes fire fueled the human brain to adapt and develop what are now considered …

A while back, a bunch of really fantastic people (who are also kind enough to be my friends) got together for an epic Burgerfest that featured some really delicious cheese. You might be thinking this is a tad summery for October, BUT friends, I’ll tell you that you are wrong. While the cooler temps are upon …

While in San Fran for a work trip, the lovely Anne Sage and I got together for our first “in person” meeting. I’ve been cyber-stalking Anne for years and she is as funny, generous and creative in person as she is online. Anne asked me to be part of Nikole Herriot’s fantastic series, “for the love …

Wit & Delight is being featured on Glitter Guide TODAY, and as part of the feature, we made a really delicious breakfast to share with you and GG readers.

This pizza is the result of going to the grocery store while famished. Stopping in after going for a run, I had an agenda- to make a lot of pizza. This is where my stomach starts calling the shots. I recently made a visit to the new MPLS restaurant Butcher & The Boar, where I shared …

In the Kitchen is back! This week I’m sharing a really easy baked egg dish. I stumbled on the recipe via Pinterest, and the next thing I know I’m at the store buying the ingredients. The recipe below serves one hungry adult. Pesto Potato Egg Bake Ingredients: 1 medium sized potato 2 eggs pesto blue cheese …

I’m not one to follow a recipe. Most often, I get inspiration from blogs, Pinterest and cookbooks, then I just kinda wing it. Here are three such meals: Breakfast // Caramelized Grapefruit Cut a ripe grapefruit in half. Place on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar. Place under the broiler until lightly browned (5-10 mins) Lunch …

Let’s talk about toast. I love the stuff. Toasted, grilled, fried, freshly baked, you name it and I’m all over it. Yet, what I like most about toast is how handy it is. Toast is basically a tasty vehicle delivering a variety of different toppings and flavors to your mouth, all in a nice portion-controlled size. …

Are we all enjoying the decadent tastes of the season? Who else is feeling a little regretful for having a chunk of cookie dough for dinner? I might be all alone on that one, but readers- I’m feeling a little sluggish from my baking adventures. So for the past 2 weeks, I’ve made a point to …

Rarely do I miss the opportunity to start the day with something hearty and healthy. I have a great affinity for breakfast foods and take my love for eggs very seriously. This recipe is currently my favorite way to jazz up a fried egg. The tzatziki sauce is the real hero of this open faced sandwich …

This chicken pot pie recipe makes your whole house smell so flippin’ good, you’ll want to dive head first into its buttery topping. Chicken pot pie always seemed like a cumbersome meal to put together, but this recipe from Sunday Suppers proves otherwise. I love the addition of root vegetables and sage, it’s sweet and savory …

This might be the easiest salmon recipe, ever. It’s great for nights you just need to make a fresh meal for one, and it’s healthy too. Use whatever vegetables you fancy most, just make sure you julienne them nicely. You could also rub the salmon with a variety of spices, but in my humble opinion, a …

I’m always looking for easy and adaptable recipes for weeknight meals. So this week I thought I’d share a recipe that is a staple in my kitchen. It usually goes something like this: 1. Pour a glass of wine. 2. Prepare the following: + Whatever pasta I have on hand + Grab a hunk of whatever …

this weekend i made a batch of butternut squash risotto. it was so light, creamy, and full of fall flavors, i thought i’d share my adapted recipe with you. i used martha stewart’s recipe, but swapped the recommended rosemary for sage, and roasted the squash instead of steaming it. i continued to enjoy this recipe by …

(photo by the amazing Deb of smitten kitchen) Was it just me or did Valentine’s Day feel like it spanned the entire week this year? We celebrated over dinner on Friday night to avoid the crowds and by the time the actual day arrived I was so over pink and red, hearts and doilies, chocolates and …
