Bethenny Frankel Returning to Real Housewives of New York City for Season 7

Back to life, back to reality — TV, that is. Four years after she quit The Real Housewives of New York City, Bethenny Frankel is returning to her roots and rejoining the Bravo series, sources reveal exclusively in the new issue of Us Weekly.
The former talk show host, whose self-titled daytime program was cancelled in February, will appear in the show's upcoming seventh season, insiders tell Us. Producers hope her return will help boost ratings, which fell to 1 million (from a record 2.6 million) during season six. "Bringing her back is a last-ditch effort," one source says.

Frankel will benefit, too, by having an outlet to promote her Skinnygirl empire, which includes a cocktail line, shapewear, and several books, including a new children's book, Cookie Meets Peanut. (The story was inspired by her 4-year-old daughter, Bryn, and her beloved dog, Cookie.)

Bryn was born just a few months before Frankel announced that she wouldn't be returning for season four of RHONY back in 2010. At the time, she hinted to Us she'd decided to leave because of events that had transpired the previous season, when she fought with former BFF Jill Zarin and longtime rival Kelly Bensimon. She added that she didn't see "any reason to go back."
PHOTOS: Before they were Real Housewives
Indeed, Frankel had plenty of other projects to keep her busy, including the Bravo spin-off Bethenny Getting Married?, which documented her engagement to then-fiance Jason Hoppy, and two subsequent seasons of Bethenny Ever After.
Since December 2012, she has also been preoccupied with her divorce from Hoppy. The two have been tied up in an ugly legal battle for more than a year; they only recently settled their custody dispute over Bryn.

Like Frankel herself, RHONY has changed a lot in the last four years. Only LuAnn de Lesseps and Ramona Singer are left of the original Housewives, and both appear just in recurring roles. The other current stars are Sonja Morgan, Carole Radziwill, Heather Thomson, and Kristen Taekman.
Bensimon and Zarin left in 2011, but there's a chance the latter could make a cameo in season seven. She "might come back to rehash their issues," a second insider tells Us of Frankel's frenemy. "But so far it's just talk."

Author: 
Serves: 12
 

A delicious no bake truffle that is combined with pumpkin and cream cheese!
Ingredients:
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips (almond bark will also work)
  • 1½ cup gingersnap cookie crumbs
  • ¼ cup canned pumpkin purée

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée, homemade or canned
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • About 1 tbsp. toasted pumpkin seeds (optional)

Preparation

  1. 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Mix 1 1/2 cups sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan. Cook without stirring over high heat until sugar turns medium brown, 15 to 20 minutes, swirling pan at end to help brown evenly. Remove from heat and carefully whisk in cream (it will splatter). Pour into a heat-proof bowl; set aside.
  2. 2. Meanwhile, grease a 10-in. metal pie pan. In a medium bowl, mix crumbs, remaining 2 tbsp. sugar, and the butter with a fork until combined. Press over bottom and up sides of pie pan. Bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  3. 3. Pour half of caramel into pie pan, tilting pan so it spreads evenly over crust. Put in freezer to chill 20 minutes. Set aside remaining caramel to use when serving.
  4. 4. Soften ice cream at room temperature 10 minutes. Empty 1 carton into bowl of a stand mixer. Beat until smooth (like soft-serve), about 20 seconds. Quickly spread over caramel layer. Return to freezer, making sure it sits level.
  5. 5. Beat second carton of ice cream the same way. Add pumpkin purée and spices; blend just until combined. Spoon pumpkin ice cream over vanilla ice cream. Freeze until firm, 4 to 6 hours.
  6. 6. Let soften in refrigerator about 15 minutes. Use a warm knife to cut slices. Rewarm caramel to drizzle over top and sprinkle with pumpkin seeds if using.
  7. Make ahead: Up to 1 week, covered in freezer.

Quickly spread sugar mixture in a thin, even layer over prepared parchment; cool completely. Break into 14 pieces. Slice cheesecake into 14 slices; top each serving with 1 tablespoon whipped topping and 1 piece brittle.

How To Make Pumpkin Spice Lattes (Even Better Than Starbucks!)

Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn

Pin it button big
This week Starbucks brought back the rock star of latte, the queen of froth, the obsession of millions: The Pumpkin Spice Latte. But there's a catch: to order the drink during this extra-early fall launch, you have to solve a puzzle and get a code to "unlock" your order. If puzzling out a password sounds like too much work, but you don't want to wait until the full launch on September 2, we have your back!
Here's how to make a spicy, frothy pumpkin spice latte at home. It's so easy, and you'll have enough to share with someone you truly love. Don't skip the whip.
Real pumpkin! Not just spice.
Pin it button big
We'd be remiss in not mentioning one more advantage of making the PSL at home: Our version actually has pumpkin in it. That's right; the Starbucks latte, not to mention most other things disingenuously monikered "pumpkin spice," doesn't actually contain any pumpkin. (If this makes you righteously indignant, you'll enjoy Anjali's rant on the topic.)
Ours, on the other hand, is a recipe that originated with Kathryn, a core writer in the early days of The Kitchn, and she included a touch of pumpkin for delicious and full-bodied pumpkin spice flavor.
Last but not least, it's cheaper than those coffee shop drinks. As Kathryn says, "For those of us on a budget, those little cups of spicy goodness can add up. Making your own at home will not only save you money, but you can also enjoy them year-round. In addition, you have more control over the ingredients (especially the sugar), so you can tweak the recipe to your liking."
Especially if you like extra whipped cream. Especially then. We won't tell.

Tester's Notes

I've whipped up Kathryn's pumpkin spice concoction several times now, and I made some changes from the original recipe. First of all, I cook the pumpkin and the spices for a moment in the saucepan, which gets rid of any raw squash flavor and makes the spices toastier. Secondly, I think that the real key to this recipe is a healthy dose of black pepper, which cuts through the sweetness and the coffee for a spicy bite. Enjoy — no password needed!

How To Make a Pumpkin Spice Latte at Home

Makes 2 drinks

What You Need

Ingredients2 tablespoons canned pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, plus more to garnish
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups whole milk
1 to 2 shots espresso, about 1/4 cup
1/4 cup heavy cream, whipped until firm peaks form
Equipment
Mixer, whisk, or hand blender, to whip cream
Saucepan
Wooden spoon
Whisk
Blender
Espresso maker or coffee maker

Instructions

  1. Heat the pumpkin and spices: In a small saucepan over medium heat cook the pumpkin with the pumpkin pie spice and a generous helping of black pepper for 2 minutes or until it's hot and smells cooked. Stir constantly.
  2. Stir in the sugar: Add the sugar and stir until the mixture looks like a bubbly thick syrup.
  3. Warm the milk: Whisk in the milk and vanilla extract. Warm gently over medium heat, watching carefully to make sure it doesn't boil over.
  4. Blend the milk: Carefully process the milk mixture with a hand blender or in a traditional blender (hold the lid down tightly with a thick wad of towels!) until frothy and blended.
  5. Mix the drinks: Make the espresso or coffee and divide between two mugs and add the frothed milk. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, or nutmeg if desired.

Substitutions

  • Milk Fat: This recipe is most satisfying when made with whole milk, but 2% and skim can be substituted.
  • Canned Pumpkin Substitution: You can substitute 1 teaspoon Torani Pumpkin Spice Syrup for the canned pumpkin if you have it on hand.
  • Sugar Substitute: You can use a sugar substitute in place of the sugar if desired. Add to taste.
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice Substitute: No pumpkin pie spice? No problem — use our recipe to make it out of cinnamon, ginger, and other spices: Recipe: Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix
  • Espresso Substitute: If you don't have espresso on hand, you can use strong brewed coffee instead. Increase amount to 1/3 to 1/2 cup.

Recipe Notes

  • Make a big batch of pumpkin spice mix-in: If you like, you can make a big batch of the pumpkin spice base, and refrigerate. To make
    8 full servings
    , cook 1 cup pureed or canned pumpkin with 4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 cup sugar. Stir in 1 cup vanilla extract. Refrigerate for up to 1 week and use as desired. To serve, blend 1/3 cup pumpkin spice mix-in with milk until frothy, and add 1 or 2 shots of espresso. Top with whipped cream and serve.

Former Real Housewives of Orange County Star Lydia McLaughlin Pregnant With Baby No. 3

Lydia McLaughlin has another bun in the oven!
The former Real Housewives of Orange County star announced that she's pregnant with her third child today, E! News confirms. The reality star is due in November, and the little bundle of joy will join her and husband Doug's two sons Stirling, 5, and Maverick, 3.
"We are beyond excited about being pregnant with our third child," Lydia tells us. "We have always wanted 3 kids, so our family is starting to feel complete."

The Real Housewives of Orange County, ReunionEvans Vestal Ward/Bravo
In November, after just one season on the smash Bravo hit, McLaughlin revealed that she wouldn't be returning for the reality series' ninth season.
The Canadian native said that her departure from the show is "bittersweet" but she's ready to move on to the next chapter in her lavish life. "I compare it to breaking up with a boyfriend you know you're not going to end up with—it's hard, but overall you know you're doing the right thing," McLaughlin told Us Weekly.
Although she was "really flattered" that the producers asked her to stay on the series, McLaughlin says that she wants to focus on other business opportunities. "I want to build my brand outside of the Housewives."
Additionally, McLaughlin shared that she was trying to have another baby and didn't want that to be her storyline on the show.
Looks like her wish came true! Congrats to the family!
Us Weekly was first to report the story.
