I have a dark secret. The idea of "chili crisp" is one that I've always loved in my head, and wanted to love in practice, but every one that I have tried--while delicious--never quite lived up to what I imagined a chili crisp should taste like.

blistered sugar snaps with crispy quinoa, miso honey butter, and whipped feta
This post is in partnership with KitchenAid. You can find past posts here, here, and here.

Imagine my delight when the team said yes! It’s been one of my dream brands for such a long time, ...
stir-fried lettuce bowl with ginger fried rice and egg
We have had two big developments of our summer so far. One is that I went back to work (and we can skip discussing that) but the other is much more exciting: We moved! Somehow some people in the world thought that it was okay for this pair of silly babies to actually, honest-to-goodness own a home. Now that we're done screaming in terror over the ...
