I Tried Katie Couric’s Favorite Lemon Chicken, and I’ve Already Made It for Dinner Two Weeks in a Row
We independently select these products—if you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission. All prices were accurate at the time of publishing. Chicken is one of the proteins that I cooked a lot in my early 20s. There are so many delicious chicken recipes online, and because it’s cheap and easily accessible, I found myself cooking it a lot. Now I cook all different types of proteins and rarely find myself cooking chicken — unless I’m feeling ambitious and decide to roast a whole bird. But every now and then, I’ll come across a chicken recipe that will bring me back to my original protein of choice, and Katie Couric’s Lemon Chicken was one of them.

I haven’t been shy about being totally over open floor plans — give me dedicated rooms, please! When I was house hunting, one of my top requirements was separated rooms and specifically, a designated dining room. After years of eating at a small table in a living/dining multipurpose room, I was itching for a place where I could invite friends over for dinner without half of my guests having to balance plates in their laps on the sofa. I wanted to set a holiday table, dim a chandelier, and have room for candlesticks without sacrificing space for wine glasses.
Your Spice Jar Lids Have a Not-So-Secret Feature That Everyone Is Just Finding Out About — and It’s Totally Brilliant
We independently select these products—if you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission. All prices were accurate at the time of publishing. I have a spice rack in my kitchen that I am very, very proud of. All of the little jars are the same size and shape, with matching labels on the lids that make it easy to spot and grab whatever spice or seasoning I need. While this certainly is aesthetically pleasing, the real reason I set up this rack is because I truly hate the plastic bottles that your seasonings come in. They don’t make for a pleasant user experience, and when you go to shake them while you cook, nothing really comes out — or you end up with a huge mess. So I quit the battle and made my own setup. Yet now, after finding out this clever spice jar trick, I’m wondering if all my work to make the perfect spice rack has gone to waste.

Finally, There’s a Compact Knife Set That’ll Actually Look Nice on Your Countertop (It’s Only $34!)
We independently select these products—if you buy from one of our links, we may earn a commission. All prices were accurate at the time of publishing. I love a bougie cutlery set as much as the next person. Before I moved into a new apartment earlier this year, I was hoping to get my own set with every kind of knife I could possibly need — and with a matching block, too. Then, I actually moved in and lined my small counters with all of my other stuff. My hopes were quickly dashed as I realized there was no space left for a proper knife block set. Instead, I just put the knives I already owned inside my cutlery drawer, which isn’t ideal. Specifically, it’s not very safe — especially if I reach absentmindedly into the drawer. There is a viable alternative, however, and it comes in the form of a six-piece set from Amazon for only $34. Somehow, the FTNESGYM kitchen knife set provides you with all of the cutlery tools you need while taking up minimal space on your counter. Not only that, but you’ll also love its fashion-forward design. Really, this brilliant find leaves nothing to be desired.
