Try It: Sheet Pan Cooking

Off to the beach and our project this week has been to find some new dinner recipes to cook for 7 adults and 2 kids. As much as we like to dine out, the restaurants are really busy this year, and it’s hard on little kids to have a long wait for dinner. So cooking in, and trying to make it as easy as possible! The requirements are: Fancy enough for adults to enjoy (must go well with wine!), basic enough in flavors for the little kidsMinimal prep time, preferably some prep in the morning, and a short cooking time after the beachEasy to find ingredients and basic cooking pans and utensils (who knows what the local stores and the rental house have)Minimal, easy and quick clean up We subscribe to the Charm City Cook newsletter and always find great tips and news from Amy Langrehr. So when Amy suggested…

(Chances are you’ve definitely seen one of their sweet treats pop up on a friend’s insta!) This month’s featured extreme milkshake is the Cicada Crunch. Don’t worry! There aren’t any cicadas in it. It’s a vanilla milkshake with Cap’n Crunch cereal throughout, topped with a crunch bar, KitKat and a gummy worm for fun. The Bus Stop is also offering make-your-own extreme milkshakes — delivered straight to your door! — through a new partnership with Cream Cruiser.

Sweet or Savory? Two Versions of Butternut Squash Soup & Salad

As the trees turn glorious colors and the air is crisp and earthy, we begin to long for the deep, rich flavors of fall cooking. Few dishes say “fall” more than a pot of butternut squash soup simmering on the stove. Most butternut squash soup recipes have butternut squash, apples, onion and stock (chicken or vegetable) in common. But then they diverge into either a sweeter soup or a savory soup. Which is your favorite? For those who love to bring out the sweetness in the apples… APPLE CINNAMON BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP Serves 8. Pictured above. Ingredients 8 C Butternut Squash, peeled, seeded and cubed (about 2 medium squash, or about 2 ½ lbs. of pre-prepped squash)1 large apple (or 2 small, you can’t go wrong), peeled and cubed1 large onion, cut into 1-inch pieces2 T brown sugar¾ t salt¾ t ground cinnamonDash black pepper3 C chicken broth (you can…

Citrusy Quinoa Salad

Quinoa is My Favorite New Dinner Staple Quinoa, a pseudo-grain, is a super-food – high in protein, fiber, B-vitamins, magnesium, calcium and vitamin E, and naturally gluten-free. I’ve fallen in love with it lately and started incorporating it into salads for meatless meals. The citrusy quinoa salad below is the first recipe I tried and still my favorite. But it’s good with other fruits and vegetables and different kinds of beans. Another combination is a tossup for our favorite version: orange sections, corn cut off the cob, diced red onion, diced cucumber, dill, garbanzo beans. Cherry tomatoes, black beans, sliced scallions, and cliantro, ready for quinoa and dressing Do you have other suggestions for combinations? Citrusy Quinoa Salad Yields about 6 C salad 1 C Traditional white whole grain quinoa 2 C waterBring water and quinoa to a boil. Lower heat and simmer 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed…
