Ah, lemons. Pretty to look at and incredibly versatile, my kitchen is rarely without them. Juiced, sliced or zested, the zing lemon brings to any dish has been appreciated for centuries. Of course, like so much of the produce that comes my way, it was only a matter of time before it found its way into the pickling brine.

There’s nothing like the addition of some freshly-chopped cilantro to a bowl of guacamole or some black bean dip to bring out the flavors.

I am looking for a way of adding privacy in my backyard. I sit low under my neighbor’s kitchen windows, but I don’t need trees because my house is so tall and I need all the sun for flowers and vegetables. Can you help? - Katheryne of Colorado
Sometimes horticulturists are blinded by our love of plants – which are not always the best solution to landscape challenges. A tree can be difficult in a small space where you also want sunlight; plus, even the fastest trees take a long time to fill up and out.

I know, I know, today is Valentine’s Day (Happy Love Day, friends!), but don’t most people typically celebrate mid-week holidays on the weekend? I do, at least. Weekend Valentine’s Day celebrators, here’s a sweet idea for you. Katie Meyers of Meyers Styles decided to spread the love this year with a bubbly V-Day brunch for more than two. Check out her fun, festive and simple entertaining ideas.
Box of chocolates? Check. Roses? Check. There may even be some jewelry in store. All that’s left is the perfect meal. One that will elicit those three words you’ve been longing to hear…
“Dang, that’s tasty!”
While beet and cabbage soup may not be one’s first thought when plotting a romantic evening, allow me to make a case for serving up a delicious bowl of this Ukrainian classic to your sweetheart this Valentine’s Day. It’s red. Be it rose petals, a heart-shaped card or a hearty bowl of soup, red is the color of romance. Don’t mess with the classics. Homemade wins. Sure, dinner out in a fancy restaurant has its merits, but when wooing that special someone, a meal thoughtfully planned and prepared for the occasion shows just how much you care.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day and I’ve got love on the brain, big time. (Planning a wedding will do that to you, I guess?) If you’ve also got love on the brain and some mason jars on your hands, put the two together! A handmade craft is a perfect way to show that special someone you care. Check out this mason jar craft roundup and pick a project to surprise your honey. Bonus: If you’ve got little cherubs who like to get creative, most of these ideas are so easy that they can pitch in, too.
Here at HGTV, we all have our design weaknesses. Some of us pine for over-the-top kitchens, and others swoon for spa-like bathrooms. Me? With one small child at home and another on the way, I cannot get enough of the nursery and kids’ rooms featured on ChildStyle with Rebecca Woolf.
Mommy blogger extraordinaire Woolf is your guide to the hippest kids’ rooms and swankiest baby abodes in town. You can watch video tours of each inspiring room, and click through photo galleries of girls’ rooms, boys’ rooms, shared spaces, baby nurseries, and teen hangouts.
