Homemade Egg Noodles

During the summer, there is no place I’d rather eat than my own backyard. Seriously! With just a few great groceries and my grill, I can deliver dinners that are infinitely more interesting (and less expensive!) than anything I can order. Shrimp and steak, and even Rice Krispies Treats are staples on my grill, and this summer there’s a new ingredient that will be making a repeat appearance all season long: halloumi cheese. More specifically, the halloumi cheese from Aldi!

With Memorial Day right around the corner, it’s only a matter of time before the swelteringly hot summer days arrive. If you’re like us, you’re preparing for the season by stocking up on mosquito repellents (like these amazing Madison James Flyaway Sticks several Kitchn editors swear by) and a new favorite iced coffee maker (such as the stunning cold brew carafe we want to put on display). But nothing that screams “summer” more than frozen desserts, whether that means ice cream, sorbet, or even icy cocktails.

If you agree that the best thing about the warmer months ahead is the ability to eat watermelon for every meal, this will be your go-to summer smoothie. Cold, creamy and oh-so hydrating, this light pink potion owes its frosty texture to frozen watermelon. Don’t skip this deep-freeze! Watermelon is made up of 92% water, which means it will quickly turn your smoothie soggy if the fruit isn’t fully frozen.

The first time I tried Eric Kim’s gochujang-glazed eggplant recipe from the New York Times, I was hooked. Then, slowly, I began incorporating more of his recipes into my repertoire, each dish as thoughtful, exciting, and approachable as the last. A few weeks ago, when he published a recipe for maple milk bread, I immediately added it to the top of my queue. Eric’s version, inspired by bakery-style milk bread, veers away from the traditional version with a sturdier texture and the addition of maple syrup. Eager to try his rendition, I cleared my schedule for the evening and got to work.

More than anything elaborate, it’s the simple, delightful little noshes involving pantry, fridge, or spice-rack staples that bring me the most joy. I’m always looking for a reason to crack open a can of the sweetened condensed milk I keep stocked, and Hetty McKinnon’s Hong Kong-style condensed milk French toast was exactly the one I needed.

A wedding caterer has been praised for turning down all events where the bride and groom are asking their guests to pay for their own meals.In a recent post shared on the discussion-based site Mumsnet, a user explained that they run a “wedding catering company” that is “based on a food truck” and works for “less formal weddings”.They then revealed that some couples who have reached out to them about catering have been expecting their guests to purchase their own dinners at their weddings, a concept that the caterer said they have been “turning down” because they believe it is...

We here at PopCulture.com have a fairly constant finger on the pulse when it comes to food recalls. Whether on their own volition or by government order, companies regularly pull items for serious risks such as failure to disclose allergens, foreign matter contamination or salmonella risks. However, this just-issued hot dog recall has reasoning one we rarely see.

Khloé Kardashian’s perfectly curated kitchen pantry (read: grocery store) is a slice of organized, structured Heaven that puts even the best kitchen storage solutions to shame. And if you’ve ever caught a glimpse of her color-coordinated fridge (and her urge to keep everything super neat and tidy inside it), the immaculate state of her pantry really should come as no surprise. Luckily for us, we can recreate some of the organizational magic with Aldi’s new glass storage containers.

I’ve been gearing up for summer for a few weeks now. (I can’t be the only one!) And that means more trips to my local Costco. It’s one of my favorite places all year round, but especially during the summer — or on the cusp of it. Can you blame me? The warehouse stocks so many frozen fruit options, frozen desserts, and other fun summer-y treats.

Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day Surface Scrub Powder is magical. I’ve seen TikTokers use it and friends recommend it, but it never seemed like something I desperately needed. Well, I’m here to tell you I was wrong. It is something I desperately needed. And here’s why.

When real estate agents walk through a kitchen, they’re often looking at the cabinetry. After all, ample storage space is a sellable feature in a home. They generally prefer closed cabinetry to open shelving, and they have preferences when it comes to cabinet color. (Lately, deep and moody shades are superior to white.)

A few weeks after we got engaged, my now-husband and I spent the afternoon at Crate and Barrel, registering for our wedding gifts. One thing we chose that we still use now is a set of eight white mugs. I’m more of an iced coffee gal, but my husband makes an Americano in one of these mugs every morning — sometimes twice. So as you can imagine, these wedding-day heirlooms are definitely not as white as they once were.

When I was little, you’d find me in the kitchen helping out alongside my dad or, later on, preparing entire dinners for my family after school. I found it fun, relaxing, and rewarding — and most of the time, I still do.

Food is my favorite form of communication. It can tell a story, express a feeling, or show affection. Food is a language itself, and now Duolingo is using food to encourage people to brush up on their Spanish. The language learning app, which allows users to learn a new language...

Over here at Kitchn, we’ve discovered a ton of cool kitchen gadgets through the years that have proven to be surprisingly useful. The Hasselback Potato Guide, for instance, became an instant hit among Kitchn readers for effortlessly making baked potatoes that are crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Or, there’s the OXO Ground Meat Chopper that we’ve found is also useful for scrambled eggs and reheating rice on the stove. Of course, there’s an endless number of practical kitchen tools and gadgets to add to your drawers and cabinets — and we just discovered yet another one to put on the list.

Sometimes a bold pop of color is what it takes to transform a vanilla kitchen from drab to fab. Artist-turned-interior designer Nicole Cohen found this out firsthand in one of her recent projects, a New Jersey cook space with a fairly disjointed floor plan. The front door of her client’s 1920s Colonial basically opens up to the kitchen, and in its current state, the room was falling flat, especially for a vibrant young family in a home just a block away from the beach. “When we first saw the original kitchen, it was too small, in bad condition, uninspiring, and lacked color,” says Cohen.

One of the most important steps to keeping your coffee maker in tip-top shape is descaling. It’s different than cleaning because cleaning removes coffee stains and oil buildup, while descaling removes minerals, or scale, that attach to and crystalize on your brewer. Initial scale buildup can look like a chalky, powdery substance, and over time, scale buildup can get so gnarly that it looks like rock candy and, worse, it can clog your machine!

You’ve likely been reading about spring cleaning for a while now. (Summer is soon now!) And maybe you’ve been putting it off? It’s okay. Different people feel different rumblings. Some go all out and scrub corners with toothbrushes and take mops to their walls and ceilings, while others take it as an annual opportunity to declutter and simplify. If you fall into the latter category, you might still be drafting your organizing battle plan. To help you make this process as seamless as possible, here are some common mistakes to avoid while getting organized. And just like everyone else, I learned these the hard way, so I’m speaking from experience.

By the time you’re done treating yourself to all of those cured meats and stinky cheeses, putting together a charcuterie spread can get expensive. But thankfully for us all, self-proclaimed market disruptor and game-changer @blackgirlsintraderjoes eases the pain of making the actual board a bit with her $1 DIY charcuterie board.

We have a few hot sauce connoisseurs here at Kitchn, which means that we’re always discovering new spicy concoctions to try, including a gourmet serrano pepper sauce to drizzle on eggs and an apple-packed habanero number that livens up boring dinners. And while we love finding different varieties to try, we also can’t beat tried-and-true sauces we’ve been using for years. One brand in particular is TRUFF, the truffle-infused hot sauce that even Oprah approves of, because of its versatility, perfect heat level, and downright amazing umami flavor. Whether you’re also a huge fan or you’ve always wanted to try a bottle, we have great news for you: There’s a huge TRUFF sale happening right now!
