Recipes, cooking tips, and everything food related by Stephanie Longstreth
Monday Menu time, y’all — and this week I have five easy, family friendly meals lined up that are going to get dinner on the table without killing yourself in the kitchen. I’ve got my menu planned, my groceries ordered, and I am organized and ready to go. If dinner stress is already creeping in…
Five Ingredients. One Bowl. Pure Comfort. This chicken pot pie is the meal I make when everything is a little bit hard and everybody still needs to eat. When I filmed this one, I had sick kids at home, I wasn’t feeling great myself, and I still needed to get something warm and good on…
Sourdough dinner rolls have been on my list for a long time, and this slow weekend was finally the moment. With a couple of the kids under the weather, we kept things quiet and I stayed close to home — which turned out to be exactly the kind of weekend sourdough needs. I fed and…
This no bake strawberry pie is the dessert I make when I need something beautiful, refreshing, and easy — and I need it fast. No oven, no fuss, just a handful of ingredients you probably already have in your pantry and a pile of fresh strawberries. I had strawberries I needed to use up, and…
The Best Mistake I Ever Made in the Kitchen This lemon garlic chicken pasta is one of those 30-minute meals that looks way fancier than it is — bite-size chicken breast, frozen garlic, butter, olive oil, lemon juice, fresh parsley, and a generous handful of shredded Parmesan.

The Hill I Will Die On today is about herbs. Specifically, the great basil versus oregano debate — and I am here to tell you exactly where I stand. I love the smell and taste of oregano. I can pass on basil every single time. Firmly, proudly, unapologetically Team Oregano. This IS a hill I…
The Sandwich That’s Bigger Than the Bun — On Purpose Iowa pork tenderloin sandwich is the sandwich that started it all for my husband Jason. He grew up in Muscatine, Iowa, and this is the sandwich that shows up at every diner, every drive-in, and every county fair in the state. You know the one…
This Tuesday tip: food flavor is something I have wanted to talk about for a long time, because I hear it all the time — “I followed the recipe exactly and it still tasted flat.” I have been there. And I want you to know it is almost never the recipe. It is almost always…
