Use the Minimalists 90/90 Rule to Help Declutter Your Kitchen Cleaning Tips from The Kitchn7/31/2017 It’s amazing to me how quickly my kitchen gets cluttered. Even though I tend to use the same things every day — the same pots and pans, same dishes, same glasses — my cabinets are totally full. Part of it is that we love to entertain, so in addition to the everyday stuff, we need the party stuff, like the big salad bowl, and the serving tray, and the cool brass-plated silverware I found on eBay that lives in its own special, enormous box. Part of it is the kids’ stuff. And the backup kid stuff, that I hold on to just in case other, younger kids come over and we need different kinds of age-appropriate sippy cups. Add in all the tools and gadgets and kitchen linens and birthday candles, and it’s a slippery slope. It’s daunting to think about weeding through it all, though. I don’t have any desire to touch all those things to see if they spark joy. I need a rule that’ll make it easy to make a quick-and-dirty decision over what stays and what goes to keep this space streamlined. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/07/31/use-the-minimalists-9090-rule-to-help-declutter-your-kitchen-cleaning-tips-from-the-kitchn/ I avoid mealy tomatoes from the grocery store all year long in anticipation of the summer and the sweetest tomatoes that come with it. Once they hit, in all their shapes, sizes, and colors, I can hardly get enough. Quickly a bucket list of sorts ensues, to ensure I consume them in all the very best ways before the last one lingers at the farmers market at the end of the season. In no particular order, here is this important list — I highly encourage you to start at the top and work your way through to guarantee you eat up as many summer tomatoes as possible this year. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/07/31/your-tomato-bucket-list-10-ways-to-eat-a-summer-tomato-tips-from-the-kitchn/ There are seemingly endless ways to cook chicken, but this one in particular should be at the top of your must-make list. With a Sriracha-honey marinade and plenty of fresh lime juice, these spicy-sweet-tangy chicken thighs pack a punch. Make it once and I guarantee your family will be begging for this dish all the time! I’m sorry in advance. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/07/31/make-these-spicy-honey-garlic-chicken-thighs-tonight-delicious-links/ I suppose one could make the case that dressing a fruit salad is a bit like gilding the lily, especially when the fruit is at the height of season. To that argument I say, a little extra bling never hurt anybody! In this fruit salad from Yossy Arefi, the bling comes in the form of sweet-tart lemon-vanilla bean syrup. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/07/31/recipe-red-fruit-salad-with-lemon-vanilla-bean-syrup-jewels-of-june/ window.ATGalleries = window.ATGalleries || {}; On any week that’s peppered with late nights at the office and activities like sports practice, piano lessons, or book club, getting dinner on the table can feel like a feat of Everest-like proportions. These are the nights to pull out your slow cooker and rely on it to do the heavy lifting leading up to dinnertime. Whether you need a dump-and-go recipe that can cook totally hands-off, like sloppy Joes or soup, or have a few minutes for up-front prep, these are the 10 slow cooker dinners to add to your meal plan on busy weeks. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/07/30/10-easy-slow-cooker-dinners-to-make-on-busy-weeknights-recipes-from-the-kitchn/ If you like light, lemony pastas as much as I do, this easy casserole — and I mean so easy it all come together in one baking dish — is going to be your jam. Ravioli straight from the freezer goes into a trusty baking dish with a sauce of white wine, broth, garlic, and thyme. It magically thickens up during baking with the help of cornstarch. Topped with thinly sliced lemons, it all bakes together into a luscious casserole that requires zero stove time and can be assembled in the time it takes the oven to heat up. Scatter some peas from the freezer on top and you now have a pasta casserole that took very little effort, but yields some amazing results. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/07/30/recipe-a-last-minute-ravioli-casserole-quick-and-easy-weeknight-dinners/ Home life right now is a little bit bananas. Just a few weeks ago we sold our home in Georgia and we are currently packing and planning a cross-country move and my husband is gone all week working and house hunting in our new city. So this week’s meal plan is all about miracle meals — recipes I can cook with my eyes closed, or that whittle down pantry ingredients, or that my children requested and I know they will devour without fuss. There are some seasonal vegetables helping out this carb-heavy week, so this week’s menu is still fun and summery but also super easy. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/07/30/next-weeks-meal-plan-5-miracle-meals-for-a-really-busy-week-next-weeks-meal-plan/ There’s really nothing like an impromptu dinner party after one of the hottest days of summer. There’s something about the searing, slap-you-in-the-face heat that August brings that often becomes a balmy, pleasant night perfect for ice-cold beer, a platter of crudité, and whatever you have to clean out of the fridge. For affairs like this, (wo)manning the grill isn’t an option. It’s all about make-ahead foods or make-at-the-last-minute foods. Hummus can be both. This dip is delicious no matter how long you sit at the table, it’s vegan and kosher, and it’s popular with adults and kids of all ages. Sure, you could always run to the store for a tub of the chickpea garlic dip, but the most popular hummus recipe on Pinterest is both simple to make and looks delicious. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/07/30/this-is-the-most-popular-hummus-recipe-on-pinterest-on-trend/ Cool, crunchy cucumbers are at their absolute best in summer. Whether you picked up one too many at the farmers market or your garden is overflowing with them, we’ve got 10 ways to help you put those cukes to work.
