The Target shopping experience is the subject of many an internet ode. It’s both parts relaxing and an easy way to spend a lot more money than you ever intended.
If you’d like to enjoy the Target shopping experience without the temptation of impulse purchases, however, this news may be just what you’re waiting for: The retailer now has same-day grocery delivery service in select areas, powered by Shipt.
Here at Kitchn we’re big fans of what Editor-in-Chief Faith Durand calls “salad swag.” When you’re making a salad for lunch, you typically always have greens and maybe a dressing — but the fun stuff, the “swag,” is where things actually get interesting. Maybe you add some shrimp, avocado, and corn (like here). Or maybe it’s chicken, cherry tomatoes, and avocado slices (like here).Whatever you choose for “swag”, there’s no wrong answer, but playing around in the kitchen is always encouraged.
Today Trader Joe’s came out with its Fearless Flyer for May and I was so excited to see that the grocer is making this swag concept so much easier with a new Seedy Salad Almond Topper. In fact, it might just be the most exciting product I’ve seen at Trader Joe’s in some time.
Attention everyone! I have very important news and you’re going to want to be the first of your friends to know. Our collective cooking queen Ina Garten just announced on Instagram that she has a new cookbook coming out in October.

Garten describes the book as being “full of delicious and accessible recipes, tips, and techniques for home cooks so you can cook with confidence.” Amen to that.
Roasting is one of my favorite ways to cook vegetables. I love how you just toss everything on a baking sheet, walk away, and come back to beautifully browned veggies that have so much more flavor than you would get with blanching or sautéing alone.
The most basic seasonings for roasted veggies are oil, salt, and pepper, but here are some other easy ways to flavor them if you want to make things a whole lot more interesting!
I have a no-fail formula for easy weeknight dinners: chicken + any veggie + my trusty sheet pan. Whether you go for skin-on or a boneless, skinless version, versatility is the name of the game when it comes to chicken thighs (or mild-mannered, lean breasts).

From classic crispy chicken thighs to maple-mustard chicken, here are 10 easy chicken and vegetable sheet pan suppers to add to your meal plan.
If you ask me, big-batch recipes are where the slow cooker does its best work. With little to no extra effort on your part, it rewards you with meals you can stretch into leftover lunches or future dinners.

It’s happened to all of us — while waiting for your prescription at the drugstore, you end up throwing a bunch of other stuff in your basket. Then when the cashier rings you up, you’re shocked by the high total (and insanely long receipt). And you wonder, Are there ever any good deals to be had from the drugstore?
The answer is yes, if you shop smart. Here’s how.
Smart, satisfying snacks can truly be a busy parent’s best friend. They can fuel our kids for play dates and soccer games, or keep them from getting cranky during afternoon errands.
To get some inspiration, we asked 11 busy moms for the secrets to happy, healthy kid snacks at home and on the go. Here’s what they had to say.
My love of dill started rather recently when I made dill-infused vodka. I found that, compared to the overpowering taste of dill I ate in Scandinavian recipes growing up, when the herb was infused with vodka it provided a light pickle-y flavor that was a great addition to a classic martini. I found that the same can be said when a small amount of dill is added to things like salads, yogurt dressings, and soups.
Dill isn’t something you generally use in large quantities, but you usually have to buy it in bulk. If you’re like me and end up having too much of it in your fridge, here are 10 delicious recipes to use up the rest of your haul.
A slow cooker is a wonderful thing. Get it cooking early in the morning or just before bed and you’re in for a meal that feels like a lot of work, but really wasn’t. Put it to use for a party and you’ve got hot toddies for a crowd that will be just the right temperature all night long.
There’s only one problem: A slow cooker isn’t always known for being the best dressed. But wait! You have options. Your slow cooker doesn’t have to be a bulky hunk of machinery that’s all function and no form. Take a look at these beauties and see if we’ve convinced you.
P.S.: There’s no shame in wanting your slow cooker to look cute. After all, you might not use it all that much if it’s so ugly that you have to keep it hidden away most of the week. And if it’s gonna sit out on your counter (or on a buffet table) while it bubbles away for hours at a time, it may as well be something you enjoy looking at.
