Leftover Chicken Lentil Taco Soup – Leels Cooks

General

I know the obvious answer to “what to do with leftover taco ingredients?” is to make more tacos, but sometimes I like to switch it up. I’m a huge fan of challenging myself by trying to find something entirely different I can make up with whatever ingredients I have on hand. I had made burrito/taco rice bowls last night and thought I would throw together an easy soup out of the leftovers. You can do this with a lot of different meals so feel free to get creative with it. (creative means throwing random things into a pot and hoping it … Read more

How To Thaw Frozen Artichoke Hearts Without Ruining Their Texture

General

Carlosgaw/Getty Images If you’ve ever prepped fresh artichokes, you know the value of an artichoke heart and how long it takes to get a usable amount, especially if you’re cooking for multiple people. The delicate earthy-flavored thistle (yes, thistle!) doesn’t have much flesh on the leaves, and even if you take the time to scrape them, it’s the soft, meaty heart that makes artichokes such a singular ingredient. Frozen, canned, or even marinated artichoke hearts are always good to have on hand. Unfortunately, the latter two are stored in liquids that sometimes overpower … Read more

The BEST Lentil Meatballs – Leels Cooks

General

I’m trying to eat more plant-based food lately. I know I know, ew. But I’d like to live longer and maybe have a slightly less detrimental impact on the environment, so maybe eat a bean sometime. (Legume didn’t work well with the joke) This recipe is shockingly delicious, easy enough, and can be turned into meatballs, burgers, meatloaf, or even veggie ground if you want. This recipe is still a tiny bit tedious but TRUST ME. This will be the BEST vegetarian meat replacement you ever have. Plus it makes a relatively large amount of mix that can be divided … Read more

General

Summer_Wind/Shutterstock When people think of Chick-fil-A, they think of delicious dipping sauces, chicken sandwiches, and waffle fries.

The fish sandwich has also been removed entirely from the chain’s online menu. While it is actually common practice for … Read more
