Slow Cooker Coconut Curry Ginger Chicken
Get cloooooser to the curry. You're getting very sleeeeepy. Yesssss. I know it seems like it's almost time to put the slow cookers away, but guess again, chilly cheese fries. We ain't done yet. Actually, I like to use my slow cooker year-round, but that's neither here nor there. Well, I guess it's here, since I brought it up. And there, if you consider your house to be that part.

BLT-Avocado Salad
BLT is one of the most classic flavor combos around, but the past 4 or 5 times I’ve made or had it, avocado has joined the party. I think it’s time to officially make avocado a permanent member of the iconic combo. Is everyone okay with calling it a “BLAT”? Or would you rather “BALT”? Either way, this Bacon Lettuce Avocado Tomato Salad really showcases just how good this combo really is. The key to this salad is replacing the c... Read More ›

My, My My My Sriracha
Ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise…all excellent staples to have around the kitchen. But what makes a truly great condiment? Is it versatility? Is it flavor? While you could argue that all of these are outstanding, nothing, I mean NOTHING beats Sriracha sauce. Bright red, tangy, spicy, and topped with that recognizable green tip, rooster sauce is literally the Best. Sauce. EVAR! What makes Sriracha so magical? It’s the way it can be used in lit...

Fully Loaded Potato Rings
I recently caught these fried potato rings online and immediately craved them. Like everything we do here on Tablespoon though, I had to crank it up to a whole new level! I find that the best way to turn things up is add bacon. Taking inspiration from a loaded baked potato, I mixed bacon and cheese right into these rings. Served with a yogurt ranch dip, these Loaded Potato Rings would be a hit at any party! The secret to make them easy and... Read More ›

How to Use a Springform Pan
When it comes to kitchen gadgets, I consider myself a bit of a minimalist. I don’t like pieces of equipment that are single purpose or do the same thing that a knife can do (see: Banana slicer). You might think that a springform pan falls into this category, but I use mine all of the time and find it to be very important in my kitchen arsenal. It just does things that no other pan can do! For starters, it lets you make really good cheese... Read More ›
