Recipes, cooking tips, and everything food related by Stephanie Longstreth
This Tuesday tip: budget lasagna is the kind of post I love to share, because one pound of ground beef stretched all the way to feed ten people — and the whole pan cost me just $15.73. That works out to about $1.57 a plate at ten servings, for a hearty, filling dinner nobody walks…
I Couldn’t Wait Until Fall to Make These These soft chewy molasses cookies taste just like something your grandma would pull out of the oven on a rainy day — warm, spiced, and impossible to stop at one. I usually save them for fall when the cinnamon and cloves feel just right, but the truth…
The hill I will die on foods made for each other is one I will defend with a fork in one hand and a cold glass of milk in the other: some foods were simply made for each other, and what the Lord has put together, let no man pull apart on a plate. Soy…
My kitchen favorites series is all about the things I reach for every single day, and this week it is my Pyrex glass baking dish — the deep 9×13 with the pretty sage lid. I am not paid by Pyrex, y’all; this is just the dish that practically lives on my counter because it never…

My kitchen favorites series is all about the things I reach for every single day, and this week it is my stainless steel wire rack and the half sheet pan it nests inside. I am going to be upfront with you, y’all: Ultra Cuisine is running a creator campaign with Amazon right now, so I…
The hill I will die on chocolate ice cream is one I’ll defend with a spoon in my hand and the freezer door propped open: vanilla ice cream is just the backup singer, and chocolate ice cream is the star of the show. That’s it. That’s the whole position. Chocolate steps up to the microphone,…
Finger-Licking Good, and the Oven Does the Hard Part These BBQ chicken legs are sticky, saucy, finger-licking good — and the best part is the oven does almost all the work. You toss the drumsticks with a little olive oil and a handful of pantry seasonings, bake them on a rack until they’re cooked through,…
We Never Actually Made These Over a Campfire Campfire potatoes are thin-sliced potatoes, sweet onion, and a couple pats of butter sealed up in a little foil packet and baked until everything is tender and buttery — and here is my confession: I have never once made them over an actual campfire. Growing up, my…
