Zero Regrets, Y’all. Zero Regrets. These chicken bacon ranch melts are the sandwich I have zero regrets about, and I mean that sincerely. One of my biggest pet peeves about a chicken sandwich is that the chicken itself — the biggest bite in the whole thing — is usually the least flavorful part of it….
This flush mount ceiling fan is my kitchen favorite this week, and I am going to be honest with you right up front — it is not a kitchen thing at all. We finished a room addition off the back of the house this summer. What used to be the patio is now a real…
I Have Never Once Carried These Home Again. These bacon wrapped little smokies are little bites of meat candy, and they belong on a brunch table or a tailgate — anywhere people are standing around with a plate in one hand. A smokie wrapped in bacon, held together with a toothpick, packed with brown sugar…
Two Cans and a Handful of Nuts. That Is the Whole Secret. This cranberry apple salad is my mother-in-law’s, and it was a fixture on our Thanksgiving and Christmas tables for as long as I can remember. It is sweet, it is tart, it is warm, and it is made from two cans and a…
Nobody Agrees on the Name. Everybody Goes Back for Seconds. Funeral potatoes, church lady potatoes, hashbrown casserole — I do not care what you call it, and honestly nobody at my table ever has. This is the dish that has been showing up on dining tables for generations, and there is a very good reason…
The hill I will die on is bread, and I am not going to pretend otherwise: bread is life, life without bread is no life, and some days I live for bread. I have watched people push a roll to the side of the plate like it was a napkin. I have sat at tables…
I Think I Just Made Salmon for People Who Don’t Like Salmon These maple Dijon salmon bowls started out as a fish dinner for my husband and turned into the one everybody at the table asked about. Jason eats Mediterranean, so I set out to make something that fit the way he eats — and…
This Tuesday tip: pork loin is the one that stretches my grocery money further than just about anything else I do. I picked up a boneless pork loin at Costco — 9.79 pounds at $1.99 a pound, $19.48 for the whole thing — and I cut it down at my own kitchen counter into four…
Glad Take-Aways are my kitchen favorite this week, and the reason is simple: they are the only container I own that I am genuinely happy to lose. It is back to school here, my college kids are coming through the door again, and these go out of my house every single day right now. I…
These are the school lunch ideas kids will eat — not the ones that photograph well, and not the ones that come home untouched at three o’clock. I was a lunch lady for a few years, right up until recently, and you want to know how much food gets thrown away? I have seen it…
