What’s not to love about smashing two delicious sugary things together? That’s why when Aldi announced it was going to start selling a limited-edition dessert mashup, the cult-favorite grocery store had our full attention.
Are you trying to make a habit of eating breakfast more often, but having a tricky time making it a reality? There’s a solution for it and it comes down to what you can make ahead of time. We’re talking low-effort, big-impact breakfasts that deliver a week of meals or more, so you can make your morning food routine a manageable one. Here are 30+ recipes to get you started.
In this day and age, companies who seem like they really care about their customers are few and far between. Costco — with its fair pay and benefits, low prices, and giant plush teddy bears — really seems to be one of the good ones, and a new, very expensive move to keep down the price of one of their food staples just adds to the list of why we love the wholesale chain.
Financial wizards will tell you that there’s no time like the present to reign in your spending and get a grip on your budget — but it’s their job to say that! Setting a food budget (that you can stick to) isn’t exactly a cake walk. In fact, it’s kinda the opposite. To help you get on the right track, we asked 10 (super-relatable) home cooks for their best realistic food budgeting advice that you can implement right now.
As far as rental kitchens go — especially rental kitchens in New York City — mine isn’t half bad. The oven door opens all the way (the one in my last apartment didn’t! Read about it here: How I Made the World’s Tiniest, Most Awkward Kitchen Work), there’s decent storage space, and a small skylight floods the room with light during the day.
And while the kitchen did not come with a dishwasher, it did come with one little $13 gadget that I’m totally obsessed with.
Meal planning is my mom superpower, but meal prep has never been my thing. As a mom of two, I find most of my weekend time gets gobbled up by soccer games, laundry, and epic LEGO tower building.
But having a fridge stocked with at least a few prepped meals makes me a more peaceful, kinder mom come Monday morning. In an effort to make the most of any free weekend time I do have, I focus on breakfast and lunch, which tend to muck up my mornings most. This Power Hour will give you a week of grab-and-go breakfasts, mix-and-match lunches, and a low-prep dinner meal plan. Consider it an entry-level plan for a family of four.
Even though summer is technically over, hot nights aren’t over for all of us. When the temperatures are climbing, cooking is the last thing on my mind. But since one can’t subsist on watermelon and Popsicles alone, I’ve armed myself with a roster of quick and easy dinners I know I can pull off — even on the hottest of nights.
From farmers market salads and grain bowls from the grill, to satisfying sandwiches and shrimp skewers, here are over 50 quick dinners that will save you.
Instant potato flakes aren’t exactly high on most lists of pantry essentials. You may keep them around in chilly months as a quick and easy shortcut to creamy mashed potatoes, but they’re probably more likely collecting dust on supermarket shelves.
What you might not know, though, is that these little flakes — made most often from either russet potatoes or Yukon Golds that have been cooked, mashed, and dehydrated — can work their magic in a surprising amount of dishes. Similar to potato starch, they can act as a thickener for gravies and soups. But they can also make chicken crispier, focaccia fluffier, and meatloaf more moist. Read on for our favorite ways to use them.
Five hundred bucks is nothing to sneeze at. You can get a lot of groceries for $500, book a weekend away, or have a few nice meals out on the town. You can’t, however, usually renovate a kitchen for $500, but you can buy at least one thing that’ll make a huge difference in how you use or feel about your kitchen.
We asked three of our favorite designers to tell us the best way to spend $500 on a kitchen. Here’s what they had to suggest.
If there’s one Costco fact we’ve been trying to prove to you lately, it’s that the warehouse store carries plenty of healthy foods. For starters, there’s the top-quality produce. There’s all sorts of healthy snacks for a lunch box, good-for-you frozen items, and there’s even a pretty healthy food court option.
We actually have a favorite among the many healthy options — and it happens to currently be on sale.
