With America still battling inflation, we are desperate for relief. Yet, it only seems to keep piling on. Today, we are discussing service fees that restaurants, mainly chain restaurants, are charging their customers. Now, this isn’t to say service fees are right or wrong, but we want to provide some insight for both owners and customers. For instance, McDonald’s charges service fees, typically when a franchise owner … Read more

Mustard Is The Secret For The Crispiest Fried Fish Ever

General

4kodiak/Getty Images Fish fry is an American tradition celebrated during the dog days of summer in the South and on every Friday throughout the year in the Midwest. It’s a meal that brings the community together around battered, or breaded, crispy fish, with sides like coleslaw, macaroni salad, and french fries. In backyards and corner dives, local taverns and community centers, tables are laden with hot sauce, lemon wedges, tartar sauce, and malt vinegar. Friends and neighbors gather to take shelter from the weather and dig into some fish at their establishment … Read more

Meatball Stroganoff – Leels Cooks

General

It’s finally fall! Time to pop on a sweater and start working on our winter bodies by eating too many carbs and binging the same two things on netflix. I’ve always liked beef stroganoff, but I can’t remember a time as a kid I didn’t have it with leathery, completely overcooked lean beef. So here’s a variant that you can’t mess up. Since we use meatballs instead, the beef stays juicy and tender, and it still has the same beefy, mushroomy flavour we all love. Make this vegetarian by swapping out the beef stock, and using more mushrooms instead of … Read more

Just a small spoonful of this homemade harissa sauce brings a powerful boost of flavor to soups, stews, and braises. Add some to your next pot of chili! This post is sponsored by the makers of Ball® home canning products.* I started keeping store bought jars of harissa sauce in my fridge a handful of years ago.

One Of Bobby Flay’s Favorite Burgers Is From New York City’s JG Melon

General

Cindy Ord/Getty Images It’s natural to be curious about what the most famous chefs in the world are noshing on in their off-duty hours. For TV host, cookbook author, restaurateur, and celebrity chef Bobby Flay, the answer is simple — and something most of us can get on board with. “I am a burger guy,” Flay said, describing his deepest post-work cravings in an episode of Food Network’s “The Best Thing I Ever Ate: Burgers.” And with his New York roots, Flay finds his fix in a very particular Manhattan establishment. J.G. Melon … Read more

Ham, Potato and Leek soup – Leels Cooks

General

We’re on a roll with the fall flavours so let’s keep this going. I like chunky, hearty soups, and anything with potato in it is always win. Ham, potato and leek are the perfect trifecta, and this soup only gets better over time. Use any potato you wish, I personally prefer Yukon Gold over anything else. Russet is fine but will break down a bit more into the soup so anticipate that. Make this veggie by omitting the ham and swapping for veggie stock, it’ll be just as delicious. What you need: 8 oz diced ham, bonus points if you … Read more

Close up of the lemon peach turmeric chutney in a jar.

General

Earthy and unusual, this Lemon Peach Turmeric Chutney is an unexpected winner. Pair it with crumbly cheddar and a tender oatcake. This post is sponsored by the makers of Ball® home canning products.* Chutneys are one of my favorite things to make, particularly during the waning days of the canning season. After months of carefully cooking batches of jam to the set point and hand packing jars of pickles, I like a preserve that allows you to dump everything in a pot and simply cook it until it has thickened. This Lemon Peach Turmeric Chutney from @ballcanning has all the ease … Read more

Combine Tahini And Soy Sauce To Make One Astounding Condiment

General

Anggalih Prasetya/Shutterstock On its own, soy sauce has myriad merits. It’s perfect for dousing fried rice, tossing long noodles, or dipping gyoza dumplings. But it also has numerous applications as a savory flavor amplifier, whether added to scrambled eggs or blended in tomato soup for a deeper umami flavor. So, it’s no surprise that soy sauce is an excellent ingredient when added to other sauces, like spicy peanut sauce or briny fish sauce. But there is perhaps no better accompaniment to thin, salty soy sauce than thick, nutty tahini. Tahini is a popular … Read more

Chai Cheesecake Bars – Leels Cooks

General

I love pumpkin spice but I’m an avid supporter of the spices that go into chai. (I’m also that jerk that’s irked by people saying chai tea since chai means TEA itself, but that’s another post) I also insist that chai spice is better than pumpkin and we should all swap over immediately. Give this a go, I think you’ll love it! Make sure ALL of your cheesecake ingredients are room temperature. Anything cold or straight from the fridge will make the cheese seize/harden and impossible to combine. You can also divide this into 9 lined muffin cups for easy … Read more
