I grew up in Chicago, and my best friend's family was Greek and knew all the good restaurants. Just about every week they would take us to Greektown for flaming cheese and spanakopita. As much as I loved shouting, "Opa!" when the cheese burst into flames, the part I remember most vividly as an adult is the wonderful lemon soup.
If you are the one who always winds up finishing the last of the salsa when you're out with friends, then this recipe is for you. It's not fancy or by any means gourmet, but it goes great with salty chips and cold beer. It's time to pay your share of the salsa bill — treat your pals to some restaurant-style salsa tonight.
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.
There are zillions of salad kits in the world (zillions!) and, starting last fall, we embarked on a quest to taste nearly every single one and find the ones we loved the most. (That's how we know there are zillions!) Here, from us to you, from our lunch boxes to yours, is a rundown of the shining few that emerged victorious. America, meet your best salad kits.
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.
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!
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.
