Even gardeners with a humble window box of parsley, rosemary, and basil quickly learn that these herbs are enough to make even simple dishes really shine without too much fuss. But as fall approaches (and so does the first frost), how can you make the most of your herbs so nothing goes to waste? Dried herbs are a pantry staple, and they’re incredibly easy to make at home with whatever you have on hand....
almond-cake-top-tier-buttercream-bakeshop-0616.jpg Credit: Abby Jiu Photography A wedding cake is a ceremony classic, but the fun doesn’t stop at the first cut. Many newlyweds opt to follow tradition by saving, freezing, and storing their cake’s top tier to share in celebration of their first anniversary. How Saving the Top Tier of Your Wedding Cake Became Tradition While some couples choose a hands-off route-relying on their baker or caterer to do the post-wedding preservation (some bakeries even offer a smaller, duplicate cake that can be picked up in a year)-if you’ve forgotten to plan ahead or are all about that DIY, fear not....

Although the time of year saunters along with fleeting form and irregular pace, these types of flowers bloom every year on their own—and if you plan accordingly you can have colorful flowers blooming consistently throughout the warmer months. In fact, a well-planned garden can be bountiful and beautiful in the summer, even though the season comes with its challenges—thunderstorms, humidity, and drought, for example....
erica-jordy-wedding-dancing-6212-s111971-0715.jpg Credit: Aaron Smith Rainy weather, a smashed cake, wilted flowers-these are all nightmare-style scenarios that race though the minds of stressed brides and grooms.

med102917_0507_brownietips.jpg All Done?

A Cut Above For neat squares, a couple of things really make a difference. Most important, cut your brownies on a cutting board, never in the pan. Also, I like using a serrated knife; first, I gently saw through the crust, and then I push straight down to cut all the way through....
The spring weather may still be a little temperamental, but it’s worth braving for a backyard party—and that’s true even if you’re gathering with just your immediate family or your quarantine pod.

Think lawn games, tasty drinks, delicious seasonal food and a select number of guests lounging about soaking in the long-awaited sun....
