New Recipes From The Kitchn

Happy weekend everyone! Have any big cooking plans? I for one am excited to try my hand at Emma’s sourdough starter and eventually turning it into a beginner sourdough sandwich loaf. Making your own bread for sandwiches just takes lunch to a whole new level. If you’d rather take it easy this weekend, however, you definitely need to try the rosemary and lemon chicken minestrone soup and a hot mug of lemon balm tea. Both recipes are on the easier side and oh so cozy and satisfying.

This week we tackled all things dinner: from simple yet delicious chicken thighs to the over-the-top yet glorious superfood baked potato. So whether you’re trying to switch up your weeknight meal routine, or are looking for that perfect dish for your weekend dinner party, you can’t go wrong with these recipes. If you’re looking for something a little lighter for spring try the baked red lentil falafel salad or the quick coconut chicken soup.

Three square meals are important and all, but let’s get down to the fun stuff: snacks! This weeks we covered all your daily nibble needs. If you have a sweet tooth, be sure to try the raw chocolate chip cookie dough bites or the frozen chocolate-dipped banana bites. If you’re more of a savory person, try the curry-roasted pistachios or whipped feta dip. Whatever you do, make sure you try this peach lambic and rye sangria. Seriously –– it’s kinda important.

There’s a lot going on in the next couple weeks where cooking plays an essential role, and we’ve got new recipes to prove it. If you’re observing Passover, try the ethereal chocolate caramel matzo brittle; if you’re looking forward to Easter you need to tackle the honey-glazed ham; and if you want to take advantage of spring (because duh), keep it simple with fresh asparagus, egg and parmesan.

Happy weekend, all! We’ve got some truly delicious recipes to share with you from the past week. If you’re on a spring asparagus kick, try our easy method for cooking it in the oven, or try the miso-asparagus soba noodle salad (lunch, anyone?). Make sure to take advantage of rhubarb right now with these strawberry-rhubarb crumble bars, and don’t miss out on Sara Kate’s chicken in coconut milk. Oh, and make sure you try your hand at the creamy avocado lassi because DUH.

This week we were all about the super easy, delicious desserts and summer produce. If you’re in the same boat (and who isn’t), we’ve got some recipes for you to try ASAP. First things first: if you have eggs and Nutella, then you need to make brownies. No joke. They are amazing. If you’re looking for something a little more seasonal, tackle the strawberry Orange Julius or icebox cake. And for dinner it’s all about the vegetable galette or roasted salmon!

The official first day of summer is tomorrow! How do you plan on spending the longest day of the year? We’re thinking a summer party is in order, and we’ve got all the little bites and cool treats you could want. Faith made some great appetizers for the DIY wedding she catered: caprese skewers, salmon and potato skewers, and polenta bites. And after that cool off for dessert with some dreamy dairy-free ice cream or chai creamsicles.

Does it get much better than pizza and popsicles (for breakfast)? That’s just the kind of week we’re having. If you’re looking to grill pizza, try our easy pizza dough for the grill and then make our white pie with avocado, spinach, and mozzarella. If you want to beat the heat, give the slow cooker pork carnitas a try for dinner, and the yogurt parfait popsicles for breakfast. Whatever you’re doing, wash it down with a blackberry and sage spritzer (yum!

It’s August, guys. Have you taken advantage of outdoor eating, seasonal produce, and lazy summer cooking? We have some recipes to help you this week. Start your weekend off with some overnight oats (mix in some homemade blackberry jam while you’re at it!), move on to the gnocchi skillet with tomatoes for lunch or dinner, try a glass of spiked peach lemonade, and finish everything off with magic banana ice cream. Read on for more new recipes this week!

Have you guys really seen the cheater Nutella sticky buns? Gooey Nutella and pastry together are reason enough to turn on my stove during this oddly humid season in New York. But don’t turn your oven off just yet! Keep the heat going with the lighter mac and cheese with veggies or roasted sweet potato rounds with cilantro pesto, and be sure to make room for a batch of real Irish scones. If you’re craving something refreshing, have no fear!

Bust out your slow cooker, dust off your roasting pans, and start filling your shopping cart with root vegetables. It’s that odd time of year when it’s still hot in places, but cozier food is definitely returning. Try waking up to a berry-banana breakfast smoothie bowl and then move on down to the stuffed-lasagna spaghetti squash or stuffed eggplants for lunch or dinner.

After the autumn equinox comes the rush of recipes with spices and autumn produce. If you’re looking for something quick and fall-inspired this weekend, try the cheater skillet pizza or the pasta with cauliflower and sausage. If you feel like baking, don’t miss out on the chai sweet potato cupcakes (oh boy) and apple fritters. And make delicious leftovers for the week with the help of this easy kale potato gratin.

This week’s new recipes are all about easy comfort. Start your day off with something satisfying like freezer-friendly breakfast wraps, move along to some jammy granola bars for a snack, take a break with some chai spiced apple cider, and get comfortable with some Mexican chicken soup for dinner. It’s going to be a good month.

Now that Thanksgiving and all the leftovers have been demolished, it’s time time to move on to the holidays. This week we have some fun edible gift ideas like raw dark chocolate peppermint bites and an apple and cinnamon-infused bourbon. If you need some solid, easy recipes to get you through the holiday season, try our Indian scrambled eggs for breakfast and the kale and apple soup for dinner.

Slow cooked meals, side dishes, and cookies – oh my! What are you making in the kitchen this weekend? Try busting out your slow cooker and make chicken tikka masala for dinner. You won’t regret it. If you’re looking for some excellent side dishes, go for the saffron rice pilaf or baked potato casserole. Want a cookie? Try the pumpkin snickerdoodle if you’re a sweets person, or a savory oatmeal cookie if you’d rather go savory.

Craving something on the easy side full of summer produce? Or something cold and sweet? If so, you need to try a few of our new recipes on for size. If your CSA if overflowing with zucchini, try the grilled zucchini boats with ground beer, cheese, and salsa. If you’re trying to cool down, the coconut kiwi smoothie, the mango colada, and some Korean shaved ice are great options.

I hope you’ve got plans to be in the kitchen this weekend, because we have many new recipes for you to try at home. It’s fun that a good chunk of the recipes this week were requested for Reader Request Week, including a whole wheat banana bread, caramel coffee syrup, and a tasty treat for your dog – oh my!

Consider it your duty this summer to make pulled pork sandwiches. This week we’ve got a tutorial for how to cook and shred a pork shoulder, how to make BBQ sauce, and finally putting it all together in a delicious sandwich. In the meantime, let’s take advantage of more spring-things by making Izy’s asparagus soup with frittata bites and Sara Kate’s pesto pasta with fava beans. Looking for dessert?
