Ongoing series and recurring content from Stephanie Longstreth including sourdough, Tuesday Tips, Menu of the Week and more
This Tuesday tip: budget pasta is one I have been wanting to run the numbers on for a while, because Cajun chicken pasta is one of my family’s absolute favorite dinners and it tastes like something you would order out. So I sat down and priced out every single ingredient, and the whole pan came…
The hill I will die on bologna is one I will plant a flag on with sandy feet and a paper towel for a plate: the best sandwich at the beach is white bread, bologna, and American cheese with a little bit of mayo. That is the whole sandwich. Some mustard too is the only…
This Tuesday tip: parmesan rinds is one I have been saving up for exactly this time of year — because before you throw away that parmesan rind, it has one more job to do. We are coming into soup season, and I do not toss a single rind around here. Every one of them goes…
The hill I will die on Klondike is one I will plant a flag on right in the middle of the freezer aisle, and I am standing on Klondike Hill proudly: when it comes to ice cream novelties, the chocolate-shell Klondike bar beats the Nestlé Drumstick, and I will not be moved. Now, I am…
This Tuesday tip: ginger cabbage is another little household hint straight out of my great-grandma Anna Hanavan’s old family cookbook — and just like her cake flour trick, it is about a hundred years old and still works like a charm today. Anna was a Czech immigrant and a farmer’s wife out in Colorado from…
The hill I will die on Totino’s is one I will plant a flag on right in the middle of my own freezer, and I refuse to be even a little embarrassed about it: every now and then I make myself a cheap little Totino’s Party Pizza for lunch, I love every crispy bite, and…
This Tuesday tip: cutting boards is one I got genuinely excited to try — it is how I bring my dried-out bamboo boards back to life with a little food-grade mineral oil. I have been reaching for my bamboo boards almost every single day for the last three or four months, and lately they were…
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…
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…
