Facts About Costco’s Rotisserie Chicken You Never Knew

If you’re a Costco member, then it’s never a bad time to remind you why picking up a rotisserie chicken is always a good bet. The spit-roasted birds are great to have on hand when you don’t feel like doing the whole cooking rigamarole. There isn’t much to crack in terms of the whole bird’s appeal with shoppers. Tender, fall-off-the-bone meat, a golden skin that crackles and shines. They’re simply handy for on-the-fly dinners or as short-cuts to quick enchiladas or stews, and the price— oh boy, the price — is a downright bargain … Read more

Review – Milk Lab – Cary, NC – Leels Cooks

General

Bang Bang! Thai Tea flavour. I am always super thrilled about new Asian dessert places popping up in town. Opened early December of last year the cleverly named Milk Lab is tucked away in the corner of the Wellington Park Shopping Center. We popped by around 1:30 pm on a Sunday after a late lunch. The place was surprisingly busy but I assume most people were doing as we were; getting a little treat after a weekend meal. Not to mention the demand for this stuff must be pretty high. I mean, it’s damn good and I know I can’t … Read more

Does Shake Shack Have Vegan Options?

General

Tada Images/Shutterstock From its humble beginnings as a hotdog cart among the hustle and bustle of Madison Square, Shake Shack has risen to its status as a mainstream fast-casual eatery across the nation. As we see more vegan-friendly fast food options pop up in more restaurants, that begs the question: Is Shake Shack keeping up with the demand for animal-free options? Cutting to the chase, there are some options –– but the variety is rather slim. The Veggie Shack burger, which features a patty made from a proprietary blend of vegetables, mushrooms, and … Read more

Tuna Onigiri – Leels Cooks

General

Onigiri is a Japanese snack/light meal made by stuffing small amounts of whatever you feel like inside of rice! They can be different shapes, but mostly triangular or round, filled or simply made with furikake seasoned rice. We make these at least 3 times a week for quick and healthy lunches. We’re still trying to eat low cal and watching what we eat, and these round out to around 300 calories per serving. Perfect for a snack or light lunch! The tuna variant is a more common version, and very easy to replicate at home! I highly recommend finding Japanese … Read more

How To Prevent The Edges Of Your Brownies From Becoming Hard

General

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Jack Andersen/Getty Images “Little treat” culture is here to stay, and if it’s sweets you crave, nothing beats a pan of brownies. They’re easy to assemble, they bake in less than an hour, and they don’t require many ingredients, even if you bake them from scratch. The only drawback is when the edges become hard while the center stays soft. Some people would argue that the brownie edges are the most important part of the batch, so it’s important to get them … Read more

This App Unlocks Costco Delivery Without A Membership

General

Steve Proehl/Getty Images Costco is one of the most loved food retailers in United States. The store sells everything from televisions to iconic food court hot dogs, but the only downside for some is that a membership is required in order to shop there. As of 2024, though, those who have an Uber Eats membership are able to shop from the grocery giant without having to actually pay the membership fee. Costco does offer same-day grocery delivery on its own, but it’s limited to only nonperishable items. Uber Eats solves that problem. Data … Read more

Should You Really Soak Liver In Milk For The Best Flavor?

General

Yulia Gust/Shutterstock Liver is one of those things that regularly gets a big “ew” whenever it comes up in conversation. But, while some find its bloody, bitter flavor and chewy texture overpowering, others don’t consider its complexity and earthiness so offal (pun intended). Despite not being everyone’s favorite, this underrated cut of meat is packed with essential nutrients to the point that a single serving can cover a host of your daily vitamin and mineral needs. When cooked properly, liver turns into an irresistibly soft and tender delicacy that practically melts in your mouth. … Read more

Fresh Mango Lime Salsa – Leels Cooks

General

I’m a big fan of fruit in salsa. It’s just so fresh and summery and goes AMAZINGLY well with anything grilled. I had planned to make a peach salsa, but couldn’t find any peaches <_< so we went with mango! Mangos are my favourite fruit so it makes this salsa extra special for me. Feel free to swap whatever fruit or ingredients to make this your own! Pineapple, peaches, black beans, corn. The basic set of ingredients will make anything an awesome salsa! I chose the tommy atkins mango over ataulfo. American supermarkets generally carry either, if at all. The … Read more
