Large batch recipes for feeding a crowd by Stephanie Longstreth
A Family Recipe I’ve Kept Quiet About for 33 Years Grandma Memaw’s Lemon Bars are the most requested recipe I make, and until today, I have only ever shared them by hand. My mother-in-law taught me to make these in her kitchen when I was a brand-new bride, side by side with her grown daughters,…
A $3.15 Coffee Cake That Beats Starbucks Every Time This Bisquick cinnamon coffee cake is the kind of breakfast that makes you wonder why you ever paid coffee shop prices in the first place. I made this for my family on a Saturday morning — along with scrambled eggs, sausage patties, and fresh blackberries —…
Friday Night Takeout Vibes. Zero Delivery Fee. Less Than 20 Minutes. Homemade fried rice is one of those recipes that sounds like more work than it actually is — and once you make it at home, you’ll wonder why you ever ordered it. Six cups of day-old rice in a hot wok with eggs, onion,…
You Didn’t Make a BLT Healthier. You Made a Salad More Fun. This BLT salad is technically a salad — romaine, bacon, cherry tomatoes, croutons — but emotionally, it’s every bit of a BLT, right down to a homemade basil bacon dressing made with real bacon grease.

I Used a Major Shortcut for This Pasta and I Am Not Even a Little Bit Sorry This roasted red pepper pasta came together from one jar of peppers, a few pantry staples, and about thirty minutes — and it turned out so good it is absolutely going into our regular dinner rotation. The sauce…
Soft. Buttery. Topped With Flaky Salt. Gone in Ten Minutes. Same day sourdough dinner rolls — soft, buttery, and topped with flaky sea salt — are the rolls that disappeared off our table the second I set them down. The recipe is Emily Christensen’s at Country Roads Sourdough, and they’re exactly what she promises: light,…
Apparently, I Run a Pizzeria Now — And It All Starts With One Easy Dough Homemade pizza is one of those weeknight (or in our case, Friday night) miracles — dough that comes together in one bowl, toppings that work with whatever’s in the fridge, and a built-in excuse to feed a crowd. My college…
Mama’s peanut butter crisscross cookies are one bowl, fork crisscross, and ten minutes in the oven. Crispy edges, chewy centers, and so peanut buttery you’ll forget every store-bought cookie you’ve ever pretended to like.
