Inspired Cooks — Cook more. Eat better. And have more fun!

We love Emile Henry's FlameTop Pizza Baking Stones because they provide great performance for making bread, pizza, thin tarts and more, plus the cleanup is a breeze. The smooth glazed surface can withstand temps up to 500°F and cleans up much better than unglazed porous pizza stones. And the glaze is tough enough that you can cut right on the stone. 

We are pretty sure this Slow Cooker Corned Beef with Sweet Mustard Glaze recipe will steal your heart away, too. Add this easy-to-make Dubliner-Dill Skillet Irish Soda Bread to soak it all up with. And when they ask, what's for afters (Irish slang for dessert) tell them a nice slice of Malted Guinness Chocolate Cake with Baileys Frosting.

Okay let's crack-on we've got some cooking to do.

You will never need to look for another steak marinade recipe again. A marinade can make or break your steaks. With so many flavor combinations, it can be hard to decipher the best marinades. So what is absolutely necessary in a steak marinade?  An acidic marinade will help break down the muscle fibers, making the steak tender and cut like butter.

Pair this marinade with a durable cast iron pan and get ready to cut into the world's best steak! 

Everyone loves jalapeño poppers. And everything is better wrapped in bacon, especially cream cheese jalapeño poppers!

A fresh jalapeño stuffed with cream cheese and cheddar - what's not to love? You can impress your family and loved ones even more with these bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers; after all, everything is better when it's wrapped in bacon. Serve these savory boys up at your Super Bowl party this year!

Sugar Cookies Cut-Outs.

This simple to make sugar cookie recipe is perfect for many occasions. Your only limitation is the cookie cutters you have on hand and how much time you want to spend decorating.

This 5-Piece Nested Heart Cookie Cutter Set is perfect for many occasion including Valentine's Day. They come neatly nested in a round metal box that keeps them from getting bent or lost in your kitchen drawers. Pair this cutter set with our Snowflake, Christmas, Ugly Sweater, Dog Bone, Circles, Numbers, and Alphabet cookie cutter sets and you'll be ready to make cookies for any occasion!

For those of you who don't want to bother with fancy decorations here are two fabulous scratch cakes that offer big flavor without all the fuss. You simply can't go wrong with either of these easy-to-make cakes.

Classic flavors shine in these two cakes, because we put the focus on the ingredients that go into the cake, like rum and apple and orange and vanilla.

We simplified the presentation too! Dust with powdered sugar after cooled, then give each slice a generous dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream or a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream before serving. It's ALMOST as good as a hug.

We've put together four boozy holiday drinks that are the answer to 2020! From this tangy cranberry White Christmas Cocktail and the dreamy-creamy yuletide eggnog to a heart-warming Scandinavian mulled wine and a boozy holiday punch, we think these liquid gems are just what this holiday season needs. So have yourself a merry little Christmas...now.

And, if you don't have a cocktail shaker you better get one quick before they're gone! This holiday it's been hard keeping anything in stock. As of my writing this post we still have a few shakers left, including a 26 ounce stainless shaker with strainer, a boston-style stainless steel shaker and a nifty 7-piece bar set. Hurry, before these become a memory.
