How Many Times Has Wendy’s Changed Its Fries?

General

Deutschlandreform/Shutterstock It may not seem like it, but an incredible amount of research and planning goes into each fast food product. This applies even more to staples that are part of a fast food chain’s signature offerings, since they help the brand differentiate itself. For example, McDonald’s and Wendy’s have very different beef patties that both companies have poured significant resources into perfecting. The humble french fry is an equally big deal, considering it’s Wendy’s largest-selling product and has only been changed twice since the chain started in 1969. After keeping them the … Read more

Eggs in a Pizza Basket – Leels Cooks

General

We don’t need a recipe for this. You just need to see this and know it exists. Those of you that follow my instagram know that I have a thing for eggs. Straight up #yolkporn. If I can put an egg on it, I will. Two, even. This was just one of those cases 😀 I like putting an egg ON pizza, but I find either making it separate or baking it on top of already baked pizza doesn’t really go as well. So this was my solution. Make eggs in a basket, but with pizza. Easy peasy. Try it … Read more

Best Granola Bars EVER – Leels Cooks

General

This took some serious testing but I’ve finally got a great recipe for perfectly chewy and customizeable granola bars!

You can absolutely make this your own, feel free to swap out ANY of the nuts/dried fruit/mix ins, or even the nut-butter for something you prefer! What you need: 2 cups old fashioned rolled oats 1/2 cup puffed millet (or any puffed grain) 1/2 cup raw untoasted nuts, roughly chopped (I used almonds here) 1/4 cup honey 1/4 cup butter 1/4 … Read more

The Unexpected Creamy Addition That Amps Up The Flavor Of Store-Bought Mashed Potatoes

General

Diana Miller/Getty Images We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Making a side of mashed potatoes is an easy, tasty way to complete a meal. Chop some spuds, boil them for less time than you think it will take, and mash them with some butter and pepper. Many people know that adding butter, milk, or cream will help make them even fluffier and less bland (fat adds flavor, after all). Cooking them in half-and-half instead of water is a swap that gives mashed potatoes a heavenly taste. But sometimes, … Read more

Lemon Bars – Leels Cooks

I was craving something lemony and sweet, and decided it was time I threw together some lemon bars. This is a super simple recipe that anyone can make, so give it a try! Not pictured here is the rest of the pan I fumbled with and broke into a million pieces, which is now a very delightful lemon crumble. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It still tastes good! Just have to eat it with a spoon now instead.

LongHorn Steakhouse’s Best Steak Is This Classic Cut

General

Jonathan Weiss/Shutterstock As the famous slogan goes, “Beef. It’s what’s for dinner.” And if you’re lucky, that beef just might be a steak. While you could cook up a tasty steak for yourself at home — pan searing is a fairly simple method — it’s even easier (if not more cost-effective) to dine out at one of the many steakhouse chains available. While your choice might be determined primarily by location and price point, LongHorn Steakhouse is a pretty solid option, if there’s one in your area. And, while ordering steak may … Read more
