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

Have you ever looked at the ingredients in your favorite store-bought ice cream? Unfortunately, many store-bought brands contain unwanted ingredients like corn syrup, artificial flavors, emulsifiers, and preservatives.

But when you make homemade ice cream, you're in control. You decide what ingredients go in and what ends up in your bowl or cone, empowering you to make healthier food choices that you can feel confident about.

It's time to make room in your freezer for healthier homemade frozen desserts!

With the sudden popularity of homemade Dutch oven bread baking, Le Creuset answered with their new Bread Oven. They kept their legendary enameled cast iron for superior heat distribution and created a shape uniquely designed to produce bakery-quality results. A deep domed lid traps and circulates steam for the perfect rise and ultimate flavor, while the low-profile base promotes even browning and bakes a golden, crispy crust marked with our hallmark three rings.

With an easy-to-clean matte black interior enamel and ergonomic knobs and handles, the Le Creuset Bread Oven makes it effortless to bake like the experts right from home.

The magic of the Pizzaiolo comes from the intense heat it produces, and its ability to replicate the three distinct types of heat generated in a traditional brick oven — conductive, radiant and convective.

The Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo is the first consumer countertop oven to hit 750˚F and its Element iQ system replicates the ideal baking environment for authentic Neapolitan, New York style, Pan, Thin & Crispy, as well as Frozen pizzas. And at only 18" wide x 18" deep and 10" high the Pizzaiolo can fit on the countertop in most kitchens,  

Keep pizza dough and some staples on hand and homemade pizza is always a dinner or snack choice!

Cooking and baking will never be the same or as easy with Breville's Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro. The Smart Oven® Air Fryer Pro with Element IQ® is for the cook who desires a countertop oven that can roast for large gatherings, air fry crispy French fries & family favorites and dehydrate a wide range of healthy foods. The super convection setting reduces cooking time by up to 30% with great crispness.

They say the proof is in the pudding, and we agree. Read on and see what fabulous meals the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro can make. From Valentine's Day Shortbread Cookies and a show-stopping Pavlova with Chocolate & Berries to a trio of FANtastic game-day (or anytime) snacks.

The holiday baking season is upon us and we've got three fabulous cookie recipes, and more than a few equipment upgrades worth hard-earned your dough.

Our first cookie recipe features an American classic, the oatmeal cookie. And, it's the most delicious gift to ever come out of a jar! Yes, it's a cookie recipe in a jar. We can't think of an easier, yet thoughtful, holiday gift to give the neighbors this year?

This next cookie really shines for the holidays. An Austrian favorite, this shortbread cookie filled with berry preserves and dusted with powdered sugar is the perfect Christmas treat.

Today we celebrate decadent brownies and a minty Christmas fudge. This post is a chocolate lover's dream come true, IMHO.

Swirls of rich, creamy cheesecake stuffed in thick, fudge brownies. This might be one of the greatest dessert fusions of all time. Who doesn't love a good chocolate brownie? And very few people in the world hate on cheesecake. Combining them together just makes perfect sense!

Fudge is a winter staple. It's a way of welcoming the holidays into our homes with sweet bites of chocolate heaven.

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.

Here's a cozy Christmas Meal to make staying home and playing it safe worth it. You don't need a huge crowd to be festive. Set the mood with a bit of champagne or sparkling apple cider with these fun, easy to make, and tasty Cranberry Pecan Cheese Balls.

An elegant Beef Wellington takes center stage at the dinner table. This traditional main coarse is paired with a lovely twist on simple baked spuds, Hassellback Potatoes. Add your favorite veggie, a winter salad and you have a cozy and delicious Christmas meal.

No, we did not forget dessert and it's a stunner! You'll want a second piece of this fabulous and festive, instagram-worthy Mocha Yule Log.

Thanksgiving is one of our favorite holidays, but it can easily turn stressful, especially if you're preparing the whole turkey dinner and all the trimmings.

With a little know-how, a bit of planning and do-ahead prep, along with the proper kitchen equipment you can avoid common Thanksgiving dinner pitfalls.

Pumpkin pie is a staple at any Thanksgiving feast. The perfectly spiced pumpkin flavor in conjunction with the buttery, flaky crust makes for a simply mouthwatering fall dessert. Although it looks like such a simple dessert, sometimes it can be difficult to get it just right, but not with this recipe (and tips!)

There's no shortage of tasty ways to enjoy fresh autumn apples. From apple crisps and cobblers, apple pies and tarts, apple doughnuts, apple cakes, and cheesecake, let's turn this fall's apple harvest into a myriad of sweet delights.
