About Me: My lifelong interest and passion for food became a professional culinary pursuit when I was an undergraduate studying in Paris. Since then, I’ve held a variety of foodie jobs in France and the United States. I’ve worked in a Michelin-starred restaurant in the French countryside, in test kitchens for Cooking Light and Southern Living, and for two years I was the food editor for Martha Stewart’s Everyday Food magazine. My blog, The Wright Recipes, features original, seasonal, and fun recipes straight from my home kitchen in Brooklyn. The things that make me happiest besides cooking are knitting and spending time with my husband and friends.

In memory of Elvis Presley who passed away on this day back in 1977, I’ve whipped up this decadent cake which brings together a few favorite peanut butter pairings like chocolate, caramel and bananas. It’s pretty enough for a party, and for sure one Elvis would have enjoyed!

So you got the grill out and you miss your peanut butter fix. (Been there!) Don’t fret—make these simple s’mores for dessert and you’ll please the whole crowd! The grill temperature for s’mores is best when the fire is dying down, so it’s the perfect way to end your meal.

Ginger dressing: perhaps you love it because it generally accompanies the complimentary salad at Thai restaurants, or because of its refreshing, gingery bite. Either way, this peanut-buttery version is going to become your newest favorite fix.

March is National Peanut Month and I thought of a recipe that’s easy enough but also festive enough to help celebrate our favorite legume!

Peanut butter and jelly are long-time friends, as are jelly and doughnuts. I brought these old friends together to party in this recipe, and didn’t know how sweet the result would be until I tried it. The peanut-buttery dough is delicious—characteristically light like any of your favorite yeasted doughnuts, but with that crave-able peanut butter kick—and is brought to a whole other level when filled with grape jelly. It’s a match made in comfort food heaven.

Peanut butter adds a savory richness and depth to many of my favorite dishes from around the globe. Among them is this stew, which uses peanut butter to round out the acidity of the tomatoes and pair up with the sweet potato. You’ll be surprised how comforting this savory stew is—it’s rich, simple, and a must for the peanut fan in all of us.

Try this new take on the latest trend in sandwiches, the Thai Banh-Mi. With quick-pickled veggies and a savory Asian flair, these sandwiches are sure to kick any sandwich boredom out of your lunchbox.

In the comfort food universe, the worlds of peanut butter and fried chicken have collided in this recipe. The Bee’s Knees peanut butter—with a tinge of honeyed sweetness—brings a bit of sass to this spiced fried chicken in the form of a delicious, rich marinade. The resulting chicken is incredibly tender, spiced and a little nutty.
