  • Easy Beef and Noodles

    Easy Beef and Noodles

    On days when dinner feels like a chore, I often turn to two things — ground beef and pasta. There are about a million and one ways to combine them but on nights like that my main requirements are that it has to come together in under thirty minutes and in a single pot. In the case of this Easy Beef and Noodles, you need an extra pot to boil the pasta, but it’s delicious enough that I’ll let it slide. This dish checks all the other weeknight boxes — It’s tasty, it’s comforting, it’s uber quick. And the whole family will eat it. To me, it reminds a lot of the Hamburger Helper from my childhood, but you know, better. And from scratch.

    In one pot, you’re going to boil your pasta. But in another you’re going to work on the beefy sauce by browning up some ground beef and onions.

    Once the beef is cooked through (and you’ve added some garlic and Worcestershire), stir in some flour and let it cook just a minute or so…

    … before you add some beef broth and let it simmer until thick.

    You can add cream here if you’d like a creamier consistency. I pretty much always do.

    And then all that’s left to do is stir those egg noodles in to coat them with sauce.

    And that sauce is totally approachable. It’s velvety and savory but basic enough that you could bump things up with some other herbs or seasoning whenever you’d like. It’s all about what works best for you and your family. (But I think a 20 minute dinner works pretty well for everyone.)

  • Congo Bars

    Congo Bars

    Do I know why these are called Congo Bars? I do not. But what I do know is that they’re an utterly irresistible thick and chewy bar loaded with two kinds of chocolate and plenty of brown sugar and butter flavor. Imagine if a blondie and a chocolate chip cookie had a baby and then you upped the chocolate a bit for good measure – you’d have these. They’re soft, they’re just gooey enough, and they’re an absolute classic.

    Congo Bars Vertical 9

    These bars have staying power but they’re actually a vintage recipe. Congo Bars were common in church cookbooks and grandmas’ kitchens for decades and they taste every bit as good today. That’s generally a good sign that they’re perfect for things like bake sales and potlucks and parties, but I certainly don’t mind just having a tray sitting out on my own kitchen counter as an afternoon pick-me-up. (No one else in my family has complained about that either.)

    Congo Bars Vertical 6

    Other pros? They’re easy to make. It’s a one-bowl batter where you simply cream together some butter and brown sugar before adding in eggs, vanilla, flour, etc, and then both milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chunks. The two kinds of chocolate melt a bit differently and help ensure that you get a good hit of chocolate in every single bite but that it’s not just sweet, sweet, sweet.

    Congo Bars Vertical 10

    These are like everything you love about a chocolate chip cookie, but richer and with a thicker, chewier bite. They’re a go-to dessert bar – easy to love, easy to make, easy to rely on.

  • Fettucine Aglio e Olio (I Oy)

    Fettucine Aglio e Olio (I Oy)

    I know what you’re thinking. What is “I Oy” mean? It’s how my Italian family pronounced Aglio e olio pasta. A famous Italian pasta sauce consisting of good olive oil, toasted garlic, fresh herbs, and lemon. A delicious garlic pasta with a snappy name, “I Oy”. Now because my mom didn’t salt her pasta water much, she would sprinkle parmesan on it at the end to add a little extra seasoning. I wasn’t opposed to it when I was younger. Now we salt our water…liberally… no more pinches. This is a family staple at my mom’s house, especially with broccoli and chicken. You’re gonna love this one!

    Fettucine Aglio E Olio Horizontal6

    These are sophisticated buttered noodles. We all loved and grew up with noodles. It’s just a way of life. If you’ve never tried making I Oy, it’s definitely worth trying. Low cost and few ingredient recipes are my jam.

    Technically I Oy is a great way to learn how to properly cook, sauce, and season your pasta. Salt, fat, acid, and heat are the rules for flavor, as Samin Nosrat says. Salt in the pasta water, Fat in the olive oil, Acid in the lemon, and Heat in the garlic chili oil. We not only use the pasta water to stop the cooking process of the garlic and chili but also to help infuse some of those flavors like parmesan into the al dente pasta. That’s right, al dente. It’s fine if you like your pasta to be soft, but at least finish cooking it in the flavorful garlic chili oil water. Taste your pasta in the water, boil to al dente and reserve your pasta water.

    Fettucine Aglio E Olio Vertical 6

    We talked about how low cost and few ingredient recipes are my jam, but that’s only half true. I love few ingredient recipes, but I also splurge on high-quality ingredients for recipes that I want to put my time into. I love food too much. Don’t get me wrong, this recipe is totally great with Kraft sprinkle cheese and minced garlic from a jar. There’s just something about grating a fresh block of Parmigiano Reggiano or slicing your garlic paper thin for crispy, garlicky bites in this pasta. It’s very Italian to little, but great quality ingredients. Buy yourself that fresh pasta or fun pasta shape, you deserve it!

    Ingredients You Need

    • 4 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (thawed if frozen)
    • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
    • 2 tablespoons honey
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • A pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper (optional, for a little kick!)

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    Step 1: Melt the Butter
    Start by melting the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. As it melts, you’ll notice a heavenly aroma filling your kitchen—that’s the start of something magical.

    Step 2: Add the Corn
    Once the butter is fully melted, add in the corn kernels. Stir them around to coat every piece in that golden, buttery goodness. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corn is hot and slightly caramelized at the edges.

    Step 3: Drizzle with Honey

    Pro Tips for Making the Best Honey Butter Skillet Corn

    1. Use Fresh Corn When Possible: Fresh corn will give you the sweetest, juiciest flavor, but frozen works great too when you’re in a pinch.
    2. Adjust the Sweetness: If you prefer your corn less sweet, you can reduce the honey or even swap it for maple syrup for a different twist.
    3. Add Some Heat: A sprinkle of cayenne or chili powder can add a nice kick if you like a bit of spice with your sweet.

    Ingredients You Need

    • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (or thawed frozen spinach, squeezed dry)
    • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    • A pinch of salt

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prep the Pastry
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut them into squares, about 3×3 inches each.

    Step 2: Make the Creamy Spinach Filling
    In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped spinach, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined and creamy.

    Step 3: Assemble the Puffs
    Place a heaping teaspoon of the spinach-cream cheese mixture in the center of each puff pastry square. Fold the corners up towards the center and pinch them together to seal, forming a small pouch. You can also twist the corners or crimp with a fork for a decorative touch.

    Pro Tips for Making Cream Cheese Spinach Puffs

    1. Customize the Filling: Feel free to add extra flavors like crumbled bacon, sun-dried tomatoes, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
    2. Use Fresh or Frozen Spinach: Both work wonderfully! Just make sure to squeeze any excess water out of frozen spinach to keep the filling creamy, not watery.
    3. Make Them Ahead: Assemble these puffs ahead of time, freeze them unbaked, and simply bake when ready. Perfect for stress-free entertaining!
