If you’re a renter, it’s pretty likely that you’ve had to sacrifice at least one or two “wish list” items when you moved into your place. Maybe it’s a few extra blocks from your favorite supermarket, lacks a pantry, or has a really ugly vintage kitchen. While landlords can be tough — the majority of them are pretty reluctant to allow renters to make any major home improvements — you may be in luck if your cabinets have seen better days. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/09/29/stuck-with-really-old-rental-kitchen-cabinets-theres-one-silver-lining-paint-project/

Beyoncé and Jay-Z have finally settled on a spectacular place in the Hamptons. It has windows like you wouldn’t believe, dueling fireplaces in a single room, and rich woodwork — it looks like an overall amazing retreat for this family of five when they can catch a moment to get away. It sold for a cool $26 million. But I couldn’t help but notice as I was flipping through photos of their home that their kitchen left something to be desired. I had higher hopes for Bey! via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/09/29/i-love-everything-in-beyonces-new-home-except-the-kitchen-pop-culture/ “Think of tailgating like a cocktail party, except the fancy cocktails and wine are Bloody Marys and beer” said my friend, and tailgating regular, as she guided me on what to bring to my first tailgate. Many years later, I can confidently agree — if you think about tailgating food as something that should be easy to eat with one hand and that will help balance out the beers and Bloody Marys, you can’t really go wrong. Here are 16 recipes to take to your next tailgate. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/09/29/16-essential-tailgating-recipes-for-football-season-recipes-from-the-kitchn/ The salad spinner is one of those kitchen gadgets that most people don’t think they need. And yet it is 100 percent essential in any kitchen. Obviously, yes, if you make a lot of salads at home, but also if you frequently cook with greens or fresh herbs. If you don’t have one already, consider this one from Cuisinart — it’s currently more than 50 percent off on Amazon. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/09/29/you-100-percent-need-this-kitchen-essential-now-on-sale-amazon-deal-of-the-day/ We can’t hide it anymore: We love the Container Store. We’d marry it if we could. Or more realistically, we’d just spend hours wandering the aisles, geeking out over different-sized containers and trying to decide which drawer organizers we like best (all of them!). Whether you share our love for TCS (as we affectionately call it) or just need some new shelves, this list of the store’s best shelves should help you get your kitchen organized. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/09/29/our-favorite-kitchen-shelves-from-the-container-store-shopping/ If your heart stopped when you heard the news that Fixer Upper would be ending after its fifth season, you weren’t alone. Fans of the show, and the wildly popular couple behind it, were so distraught most of us missed the quiet announcement that Chip and Joanna Gaines are also working on a cookbook. Yes, that’s right! In addition to launching a tableware and home decor line for Target, the house-flipping duo will be putting together their best recipes for you to make at home. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/09/29/%e2%80%8bjoanna-gaines-is-coming-out-with-a-cookbook-pop-culture/ Chicken divan is the ultimate old-school medley of chicken, broccoli, and cheese sauce. It originated in the early 20th century in a New York hotel restaurant, Divan Parisienne, and it hits all the right notes: hearty, creamy, and comforting. While the type of cheese used varies from recipe to recipe, what is not negotiable is the use of cream sherry, which adds a tiny bit of sweetness and richness to the cheese sauce. There’s no doubt that this dish is rich, but this lightened-up version skips sour cream and condensed cream soups in favor of some chicken broth and milk for the sauce. And if you start with leftover cooked chicken or a store-bought rotisserie chicken, this casserole can be yours even on a busy weeknight. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/09/29/recipe-chicken-divan-casserole-quick-and-easy-weeknight-dinners/ Die-hard fans of Halo Top, listen up: The ice cream brand is releasing non-dairy and vegan flavors today.

This snack cake starts with a tender, moist cake full of peanut flavor, but the crowning touch is in the hypnotic swirl of jelly over the top. A creamy peanut butter mixture and dollops of grape jelly mix and mingle throughout the cake batter and bake up so that every single bite of this cake tastes as though a PB&J and yellow cake collided. Don’t blame me if you become as enamored of this cake as I am. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/09/29/recipe-classic-pbj-snack-cake-easy-dessert-recipes/ |
