The hill I will die on Chick-fil-A sauce is one I will plant a flag on right in the middle of my own dinner table, because this is a divided house and I refuse to surrender: the best sauce for a Chick-fil-A waffle fry is the Original Chick-fil-A Sauce, full stop, and I will die…
This Tuesday tip: budget skillet is a bit of a bonus one — I already shared a tip with you yesterday, but when I ran the numbers on this smoked sausage, potatoes, and peppers skillet, I could not wait a whole week to show you. I fed my crowd a hearty, comforting one-skillet dinner for…
The Side Dish That Disappears First This herb lemon rice is proof that sometimes it’s not the main dish everybody remembers — it’s the side that disappears first. It’s bright, aromatic, and so flavorful, and the best part is I make the whole thing right in my rice cooker. I dump in the rice, butter,…
This Tuesday tip: cake flour is one I am so tickled to share, because it came straight out of an old family cookbook in my great-grandma Anna Hanavan’s own handwriting — a household hint that is about a hundred years old and still works like a charm today. Anna was a Czech immigrant and a…

It’s my best friend Michelle’s recipe — crunchy, cheesy, loaded with taco-seasoned beef and a big handful of crushed Doritos — and…
The Version I Made So My Husband Could Have It Too This greek yogurt chicken salad is the lighter, no-mayo version of my curried chicken salad — the one I make so my husband can eat it too. He’s been eating Mediterranean-diet style for a couple of years now, and it’s genuinely changed his health,…
No Offense to Grandma, But This One Raises the Bar This curried chicken salad is the one that finally bumped my old standby off the menu. It’s got tender chicken, crisp apple, toasted pecans, a handful of craisins, and just enough curry powder to make people stop and ask what’s in it. I started making…
My kitchen favorites series is all about the things I reach for every single day, and this week it is my Topfeel knives. I am not paid by Topfeel, y’all — these are just the knives I keep grabbing when I have a mountain of chopping to do. When you cook for a crowd like…
