We Got a Sneak Peek of IKEA's Upcoming Summer Stuff — Here's What We're Most Excited About — Shopping

On what is easily the coldest day so far this winter, I met with IKEA to talk about ... summer. Because, why not? The weather will warm up again eventually (or so I'm told) and IKEA waits for no squall: The stores will start to roll out the summer collection (and other new items) in February. Yes, as in the next few weeks!

I got a sneak peek and these are the new items I'm most excited about. Take a look and pick your favorite in the comments at the end of this post!

Your Favorite Trader Joe's Cookie Is Getting a New Look — Grocery News

It's been a groundbreaking month for sandwich cookies of all sizes. This week brought the release of Oreo's much-awaited, sounds-like-something-made-up-in-a-school-lunchroom, massive Most Stuf cookies that have four times the stuffing of a regular Oreo (as a filling-lover, I think that sounds like the perfect Oreo, especially if I removed one of the cookies). But while Oreos are getting bigger, our friends down at Trader Joe's seem to have stuck to their New Year's resolutions because they're releasing a slimmed-down version of Joe-Joe's.

Is Ice Cream "Cake" Actually Cake? — Food News

I think everyone can agree that ice cream birthday cake, if anything, is a bunch of delicious words and ideas stuck together. But what seems to be a point of contention is what actually constitutes an ice cream cake. Is it ice cream and cake? Or is it just ice cream you can slice? I want to know.

These 20-Minute Shrimp Tacos Are an Easy Weeknight Win — Delicious Links

I just moved to Los Angeles from New York, which means most of my diet right now consists of tacos. Sure, I ate my fair share of tacos while I was living in Brooklyn, but they weren't necessarily an entire food group that I made sure to hit at least once a day (no really, I'm serious).

You see, tacos are a perfect food. The limit of their potential does not exist. You start with a good base (tortilla) and you build from there. You can throw some cheesy scrambled eggs into a warm tortilla in the morning and call it a breakfast taco. You can throw some slow cooker meat inside a tortilla and call it lunch. You see where I'm going with this? Limitless potential.

Right now I have my eye on this lime-y shrimp taco recipe from Carlsbad Cravings. It takes about 20 minutes to make these tacos, which means I could have them TONIGHT if I go to the grocery store right now.

This Smart Kitchen Hack Will Make Your Nice Candles Last Longer — Tips from The Kitchn

Scent can be polarizing. I find you're either all about it — and want different candles, diffusers, plug-ins, and room sprays throughout your space — or it's not for you at all, and everything from your laundry detergent to your dish soap is unscented. I definitely fall in the former group. I live for a good scented candle in my living room, bedroom, bathroom, and even kitchen. I'm someone who burns candles year-round — not just on the holidays. And from time to time, I have been known to splurge on fancy ones. So I find it extra annoying when the wick (or wicks) in an expensive candle starts to tunnel, or burn straight down the center of the candle instead of creating a full melty pool across the candle's entire surface.

It's not fun to look at, and it's also a bad sign if you're hoping to burn your candle again (and again) in the future. When your candle doesn't burn evenly, it's likely that you won't get much use out of it. The good news is that you can rescue a slightly tunneled candle with this clever kitchen hack.

These Are the Chocolate Brownies You Need to Make Right Now — Delicious Links

I am always on the hunt for the perfect brownie recipe. It needs to be just the right balance between chewy and crispy and it needs to be deeply, deeply chocolate-y. But I also think there's a nostalgia factor I'm chasing. I remember being four years old at school and having the lunch lady give me a corner piece from a giant sheet of powdered-sugar-laden brownies and thinking it was the absolute best thing I had consumed. To a more "sophisticated" palate (read: someone who is over the age of four), those brownies were probably not that good, but STILL one can chase a feeling, right?

This feeling brings us to this brownie recipe from Love and Olive Oil. If these brownies look familiar, you're onto something. Love and Olive Oil says they are a version of Little Debbie's Cosmic Brownies — you know, the ones that use to come in boxes that you devoured as a kid. Could this be my dream brownie?

This Is, Hands-Down, the Best Salad Kit You Can Get at Aldi — Salad Kit Showdown

Attention, Aldi shoppers: If you haven't heard, Aldi's fresh food category is increasing by 40 percent and every single store in the country is getting a makeover. The discount grocer is serious about fresh fruits and veggies and is doing everything it can to prove as much to shoppers. While most of the stores' produce sections feature whole fruits and vegetables (with lots of organic stuff, too!), Aldi is rolling out more and more ready-to-eat meals, pre-cut stuff, and more.

Currently, the stores stock four types of bagged salad kits. (There are also four salad kit bowls, but those are more like grab-and-go lunches, so we decided they didn't count.) And because we currently have salad kits on the brain (see: We Tried Nearly Every Salad Kit in America. Here Are the Top 5.), I decided to try them and pick my favorite.

How To Make the Best, Easiest Blueberry Muffins — Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn

Do you often find blueberry muffins disappointing? I don't blame you. So many muffins are either overly sweet (basically cupcakes in disguise), dry and dusty, or lacking real, fresh blueberries. I've spent the last few years in search of an ideal blueberry muffin, and I'm so happy to report that these are it.

These blueberry muffins are not only easy to make (they require just one bowl) but they're also perfect in nearly every way: they're not too sweet, boast a tender crumb, and are bursting with blueberries in each and every bite. What really puts them over the top, though, is the vibrant lemon zest stirred into the batter and the sprinkling of crunchy sugar on top.

Recipe: The Best Air Fryer Chicken Wings — Recipes from The Kitchn

Air fryer chicken wings are some of the crispiest, juiciest wings I've had outside a restaurant in a long time. While I do love the classic twice-cooked wings — either steamed and then roasted or double fried — I often avoid cooking them at home, because the preparations take the better part of a day.

With the air fryer, you'll still twice cook the wings: first at a lower temperature to render out the fat from the skin, and then at a high temperature to crisp the skin. Even with two rounds in the air fryer, these chicken wings are ready in under an hour from start to finish. And they come out so crispy, the buffalo sauce is optional!

I Tried All the Dips at Costco — Here's How They Ranked — Shopping

Come mid-winter we humans seem to have this innate urge to dip carby products into bowls of creamy, salty, cheesy, or otherwise tasty goodness. Of course this combination is good any time of year, but it does seem that in the weeks around the spectacle that is the Super Bowl, when the nights are long and the days are gray, it becomes especially key. Also, dips just lend themselves to extended grazing and are well-suited to coffee table or kitchen island spreads, whatever the occasion. (You don't really need us to tell you how great dips are, do you?)

Conveniently right now Costco is ramping up its dip options from the paltry couple or so I saw around the holidays to a solid, varied selection. Enough in fact, that you may have trouble deciding which dip to bring to a party (or to stock your own fridge with for a few days of comfort dipping).

Meet the Lazy Genius: She Wants to Help You Slay Dinnertime (and Shame) — Kitchn Crush

There are a lot of self-proclaimed family dinnertime experts out there, but only one Lazy Genius — and Kendra Adachi is "the Laziest Genius" of them all. She's a North Carolina mom, no-nonsense meal planning expert, and baker du-jour who coined the tongue-in-cheek term back in 2015 to help moms like her solve real-life problems with an even realer sense of humor.

Here's an example of the Lazy Genius approach to dinnertime: It's perfectly acceptable to feed your family hot dogs for dinner. It's perfectly acceptable to finish that last chapter in your YA novel while your husband takes the kids out for chicken nuggets. And it's perfectly acceptable to cancel all dinner plans until further notice, turn on your favorite Spotify playlist, and make a cake worthy of a TV baking competition show.

In the past three years, Kendra has used the Lazy Genius Collective and Lazy Genius podcast to connect with moms like her, who are of the ilk that "you don't need to set a hundred goals in order to have a good year." In a sea of "mommy-shamers," Kendra strives to be the absolute opposite. And if there's one thing that Kendra knows for sure, it's that in order to be a good mom, first you have to feel like yourself.

(Another claim to fame: Kendra invented the Tim Riggins Salad. And for that, we salute her.)

Here's What Guy Fieri Cooks When He's Feeling Lazy — Default Dinners

We all know what it's like to come home hungry at the end of a long day and not want to spend a ton of time in the kitchen. Instead, we'll turn to our default dinners — the fast, familiar bites we can toss together with whatever's in our fridge or pantry (with bonus points if the end result is quick, cheap, and, of course, delicious).

And famous food figures — from chefs, to TV hosts, to bloggers — feel that way too. After often spending entire days cooking with or thinking about food, it's no surprise that when they get home, they also have their shortcut suppers to fall back on. We're asking them to share those dinners with us.

On the list of famous food-lovers who can be identified by their first name only — from Ina to Alton — Guy Fieri definitely makes his mark. Between winning The Next Food Network Star to launching his own wine company, Guy has done it all. He's an Emmy award-winning TV host, a bestselling author, and the unofficial mayor of Flavortown.

So, for someone who seems to have a million projects going on at once, we wanted to know what a quick, low-effort dinner looked like at the Fieri family house. It turns out that Guy turns to an Italian-American classic that's both delicious and easy to make: one-pan chicken piccata drenched in a rich butter sauce.

We're almost a month into a new year; are you a new you yet? (We hope not; we liked you just as you were in 2018!) One of your resolutions was probably to start taking lunch to work — or to eat better, spend less money on food, win the office title of She Who Packs the Best Lunches, blah blah blah.

You know what, though? Packing a good lunch every day can be tough. We're here to help, with maybe the best grocery lunch shortcut of all: salad kits, those wondrous paragons of health and joy and all things that go crunch.

Rachael Ray's 30 Minute Meals Is Finally Coming Back to TV — Food TV

For almost 20 years, Rachael Ray has appeared on screens across the world with her simple, convenience-minded approach to cooking. In fact, she's gone beyond the screen with her magazine, her website, and books. But now, firmly planted as a culinary A-lister, Ray's making her way back to the root idea that got her EVOO in the door, so to speak.

This week Rachael Ray herself made the announcement on Instagram while on the set of her eponymous weekday talk show: "Have you heard the good news? 30 Minute Meals is coming back to @foodnetwork. More info to come!!" The show ran from 2001 to 2012 with much success, and now it's BACK.

Recipe: Jojo's Biscuits — Recipes from The Kitchn

Every time I flip on an episode of Fixer Upper, I imagine what life would be like as a member of the Gaines family. On weekends we'd go antique shopping, with Joanna leading the charge (in search of the perfect vintage barn door that we would then magically convert into a master bedroom headboard), and then after that's done we'd make biscuits. (Barn doors and biscuits sound about right, right?)

Honestly, I'm not far off. In her cookbook, Magnolia Table, Joanna says that she spent a year's worth of Saturdays perfecting this biscuit recipe, Goldilocks-style. They couldn't be too heavy, flat, light, salty, dry — too anything, really. They had to be just right. A noble pursuit!

Our 5 Favorite Salad Kits from Trader Joe's — Salad Kits

While people love to complain about the produce at Trader Joe's, the salad kits are actually pretty darn amazing. We should know: We spent the last two months eating and talking about nearly every salad kit sold in America.

See, the salad kits at Trader Joe's are just super interesting. They go above and beyond the standard set that we see in most supermarkets. (Meaning: TJ's has options beyond southwest- and Asian-inspired!) The Trader Joe's team comes up with surprising ingredients and combinations that miraculously work well together. Riced cauliflower in a salad? Yes! Dried blueberries in another? Yum! Shredded broccoli in a third? TJ's knows what it's doing!

There was just one salad kit we didn't love (the Yellow Curry Chopped Salad), and here are the five we loved the most.
