Ina Garten’s Butter Tip For Keeping Stuffed Turkey Breast Moist Is So Simple

Theo Wargo/Getty Images Turkey breast is one of those cuts of meat that can be a bit polarizing. On the one hand, it’s a sustaining, versatile protein that’s great as the centerpiece of a meal or the slice in the middle of your sandwich. On the other, it has a reputation for being dry at times. Fortunately, there’s a pro tip that keeps this meat super moist, and it comes from a very trusted source.

Rosemary Garlic Romano Cheese Chickpea Fries – Leels Cooks

It’s another super long name but it’s yummy.Have you ever had polenta fries? This is a similar method but instead with chickpea flour. These don’t really taste like chickpea, more like the airiest, crispiest potato croquette you’ve ever had. I add in rosemary, garlic and romano cheese but you can absolutely customize these in any way you’d like. Swap out the spices/herbs, another dry hard cheese would work fine just be mindful of the ratio. Enjoy as an appetizer, snack or as a new side dish! This makes enough for 4 large servings What you need: 4 cups water 2 … Read more

Chicken Katsu Onigirazu – Leels Cooks

If you like sushi or onigiri, you’ll like onigirazu! Just a different iteration of similar ingredients, pretty much a sushi sandwich surrounded by nori. These are easy to make and the varieties are limited only to what you can think up. I’ve been making these for my husband’s lunch bentos and quick lunches for myself. You can absolutely prepare these the night ahead as well, but I wouldn’t go any further, rice and refrigeration don’t play nice together unfortunately. This takes some effort and I’ve included the instructions on how to make the chicken, but it’s completely acceptable and encouraged … Read more

Here’s Why Popcorn Tastes So Much Better At The Movie Theater

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Klaus Vedfelt/Getty Images Does popcorn taste better at the movies because you’re eating it out of a limited-edition “Wicked” themed bucket? Maybe. Or is it because you’ve just dropped $20 on snacks and are determined to enjoy every last kernel? Also possible. But there is a real reason why movie theater popcorn tastes so much better than the home-popped version, and it has to do with science, sneaky ingredients, and a little culinary magic. At the heart of this popcorn sorcery is … Read more

Lavender London Fog (Earl Grey Tea Latte) – Leels Cooks

I keep talking about these on instagram, along with drinking way too many lately, so I figured I’d just post about them! While I have seen a few variants nearby, they’re a lesser known thing around here in NC. Said to have originated in Vancouver BC (my hometown!)  They’re just a sweetened earl grey tea latte, and a popular variant is with the addition of lavender. Some recipes for this call for vanilla extract but since most extract is flavored alcohol I don’t enjoy it in drinks. If you have vanilla coffee syrup like Torani makes, that’s a much better … Read more

Why Does Trader Joe’s Not Do Commercials?

Ethan Miller/Getty Images With all the love customers have for Trader Joe’s, the crowds can be overwhelming almost every day of the week. While you’d think that at least part of this popularity comes from flashy advertisements or some expensive marketing campaign, Trader Joe’s doesn’t do commercials at all. The chain is active on social media, but you’ll never see a billboard or commercial for the store. This is one of the many ways Trader Joe’s keeps its prices cheap.  Some might consider this a bad business move, but Trader Joe’s clearly doesn’t … Read more
