🥙 The 4th of July strategy that feeds you twice (at least!)...


Hey there,

While you're planning your 4th of July menu, here's a strategy that'll make next week so much easier: double your protein.

When you're already grilling Carne Asada or slow cooking Pork Carnitas for the holiday, throwing in extra takes almost no additional effort. And maybe the best thing is that those extras don't have to feel like leftovers. They become the base for completely different meals that taste fresh and intentional.

While we're talking proteins, here are a few bonus ideas because they're so easy to double. For the grill: Rosemary Garlic Chicken Kabobs, Lamb Kabobs, Honey BBQ Pork Kabobs. For the slow cooker: Chicken Carnitas, Beef Carnitas, Lamb Barbacoa.

NEW This Week:

Turn Rich into Refreshing:

Pro tip: Make your dressings the night before. The flavors meld overnight, and you'll have one less thing to prep when you're ready to assemble your bowls.

These aren't just leftover recipes - they're the reason to cook extra in the first place. Your future self will thank you when you're assembling a gorgeous bowl instead of wondering what to do with that container in the fridge.

Until Sunday,

NEW! Carne Asada Bowl

Happy Sunday, Friends. This week: Food processor vs. blender - why you actually need both, and what each does best. "The right tool for the right job." - Every chef ever I grew up reading Bon Appétit magazine, so when they asked me to weigh in on whether you really need both a food processor and a blender, I was genuinely excited. The answer? Yes, you do - but not for the reasons you might think. While there's some overlap, each appliance has a specialty that the other just can't match. Food...

Hey there, I used to be that person who only ordered Tuna Tataki at restaurants. It seemed like one of those dishes that required professional skills - the kind of thing best left to people with proper training and expensive equipment. Turns out I was completely wrong. The technique is surprisingly straightforward, and you don't need any special gear beyond a good pan and high-quality tuna. Once I realized how simple it actually was, my sushi restaurant budget got a lot more interesting. Now...
