A better way to start your day. Uh, we mean, end your day. That’s what we meant. Yes. End it. Ahem.
Mackenzie Campbell, Recipe Tester
A list of all the recipes Mackenzie Campbell has tested.
Eggnog Pie
Essentially a slightly tipsy cheesecake, this bourbon-enhanced eggnog pie is something we’re classifying as “holiday desserts for parties where people like to party.”
Basic Crepes
A simple, step-by-step recipe for the classic French crepe that can easily be mastered by anyone. Yes, anyone. Including you.
The Revolver Cocktail
“A terrific, deeply flavored cocktail.” “A blessing after a rough day at work.” That’s what folks are saying about this cocktail.
Shredded Beef Enchiladas
Shredded beef and gooey cheese and a pretty mild sauce. Just 20 minutes in the oven, then compliments all around. Thanks, Homesick Texan.
Mushroom, Leek, and Gruyère Tart
“Impressive.” “Easy.” “Yummy.” “Brilliant.” “No leftovers!” That’s what folks are saying about this lovely little tart.
Cacio e Pepe
This crazy satisfying, ridiculously cheap, pantry-minded dinner consists of just pasta, cheese, oil, salt, pepper, and a nifty technique.
Grilled Chicken Skewers
Magnificently easy to marinate. Quick to toss on the grill. And distinctly Thai thanks to the lilt of coconut milk, fish sauce, cilantro, and curry.
Refrigerator Sweet Pickles
A Scandinavian-style pickle that’s distinctly sweet, a little sour, and perfumed with dill. It doesn’t even require turning on the stove during the dog days of summer.
Salmon Summer Rolls
Swapping out traditional pork and shrimp with salmon makes for a simple, stunning, and super impressive upgrade to classic Vietnamese summer rolls.
Sandwich Pickles
Admit it, you’ve probably been eating the same tired, jarred sandwich pickles for as long as you’ve been eating sandwiches. No more.
Mean Shandy
What, pray tell, is a mean shandy, you ask? Think of a regular shandy with a spirited streak. There you have it.
Grilled Fish Tacos
You’ve had grilled fish tacos. But have you had tipsy fish tacos suffused with tequila? That’s what we thought.
Homemade Lemonade
Pucker up, cuz you’re going to want to sip the bejeebers out of this ridiculously easy, sweetly tart lemonade. Wowza.
Easy Guacamole
Easy as heck, this guacamole takes a minimalistic approach that keeps ingredients to the essentials yet doesn’t disappoint. Sorta tricky to come by that these days. And yet here we are.
Mint Julep
We’re thinking about petitioning for the word “julep” to officially function as a verb as well as a noun. Julep us!
Flour Tortillas with Bacon Fat
Soft. Supple. Ever so slightly smoky. And frugal thanks to grandma’s trick of saving the fat from breakfast bacon. One taste and you’ll understand our obsession.
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
“Simple.” “Sloppy and delicious.” “No-fuss.” ‘WOW!” That’s what folks are saying about this easy peasy, hands-off pulled pork.
Grapefruit and Vanilla Bean Panna Cotta
A silken panna cotta that’s bittersweet in the best possible way. Sorta like an adults-only take on a creamsicle.
Peanut Butter, Jelly, and Potato Chip Sandwich
We’re giving you permission to lend a little more crunch and a lot more indulgence to the childhood classic.
