You’d think that the beginning of spring and the end of school would bring some relief to our already hectic schedule, but no — May brings summer camp planning, soccer parties, PTA fundraisers, and class parties that fill up our calendar quickly.
Once again, I’m calling on the power of the slow cooker to feed my family this next week with a few family-friendly favorites that make dinnertime easier.
Whether you realized it or not, World Market considers you friends and family. (Awww!) That means you can take advantage of the store’s site-wide Friends and Family sale running now through Monday, May 7.
Take 30 percent off almost everything (excluding food and beverage, which is 10 percent off) in stores and online. Plus, you’ll get free shipping on orders totaling more than $65. To get the discount, simply enter the code “YAYFRIENDS” at checkout. (The code even works on sale items, but there are some exclusions around alcohol.)
Obviously, you know that there will be plenty of bigger pieces — dining tables, chairs, bar carts, etc. — so we wanted to call out a few of our favorite smaller finds. Of course, they’re all on major sale!
The new podcast from Trader Joe’s, “Inside Trader Joe’s,” is surprisingly fascinating. I wasn’t expecting to get into a podcast about a grocery store (I normally prefer the riveting world of listening to people play Dungeons and Dragons online), but “Inside Trader Joe’s” keeps answering questions I didn’t know I had.
If you’ve ever wondered what it means when bells ring in the store, or why bananas are sold individually, you’re not alone.
It’s hard to imagine there being leftovers of a pan of creamy, comforting risotto, but it happens. Maybe you’re just a small household or you thought your family would be hungrier. Whatever the reason, when there’s extra in the pan, don’t toss it in the trash — you have options!
Here’s everything you need to know about leftover risotto: how to store it, freeze it, and enjoy it the next day.
Iced coffee fanatics know one thing to be true: Cold brewed coffee is the best iced coffee you can drink. It takes a full day of steeping (and some time straining), but the results are worth it because you can make a big batch to last you all week. You know what is not the best? Making a big batch of coffee and later realizing you made a misstep in making it and now must wait another 24 hours (or make a trip out) for a cup of this sweet caffeinated nectar.
I’ve been making cold brew every spring and summer for the last four years, and I’ve made some of the worst and some of the best batches of cold brew through trail and error. Here’s what I’ve learned and how you can make better cold brew with these seven tips.
Moms pretty much deserve a slice of cake every day. While that probably doesn’t happen, there’s no better time than Mother’s Day to bake up a big cake to celebrate everything she does 365 days a year.
These lovely cakes run the gamut of quick and easy to project-worthy, depending on how much time you have. No matter what, though, they’ll be an impressive way to show Mom how much you appreciate her.
Kitchn editors are scattered around the country, and it’s finally starting to feel a lot like summer — for all of us. So naturally we’re thinking about things like cold brew, ice cream, and, of course, picnics.
One of our biggest outdoor dining essentials? A good wine glass for al fresco sipping. Here are three of our favorites. (Bonus: One’s on sale.)
If you saw the headline of this story and thought to yourself, because Trader Joe’s has fun, yummy frozen snacks and meals that I can’t get at my mainstream supermarket, you’d be half right.
We actually have a lot of freezer aisle-related stories coming up in July (when it’s bound to be way too hot and we’ll all want to stick our heads in one of those cases) and we’ll be talking about Trader Joe’s freezer goodies a lot. In the meantime, though, we saw this story on NPR and found it super interesting.
Having your kids help in the kitchen is one of the best ways to get them interested in cooking and trying different foods. And kids who feel like they can cook are more likely to be more adventurous and healthful eaters as adults!
Now Disney is looking to bring kids into the food world with a new cooking video channel for kids called Disney Eats.
Le Creuset makes some of the world’s most beautiful Dutch ovens. They’re solid and chic and they come in such an array of colors that many people have spent hours trying to figure out what color of Dutch oven they want to use for the rest of their lives. (They last forever, so it’s basically a lifetime commitment.)
But Le Creuset is a lot more than Dutch ovens. That heavy cast iron casserole might get a person through winter, but now that it’s summer Le Creuset is thinking of ice cream.
