The secret ingredient in these 5 recipes? Ketchup! - The Washington Post Posted: 14 Jan 2021 10:00 AM PST  Humble ketchup, that sticky-sweet, popular sauce ubiquitous whenever a french fry is near, is more than just a dip for chicken tenders or condiment for topping burgers. Ketchup is also the backbone to a number of other sauces, a way to add a jolt of flavor in unexpected ways. Made with little more than tomatoes, vinegar, sugar, salt and spices, the umami-packed ingredient can help add a missing element to a dish.  |

3 Healthy Chicken Soup Recipes That Pack An Anti-Inflammatory Punch - mindbodygreen.com Posted: 14 Jan 2021 10:30 AM PST  Chicken soup might just be the ultimate home remedy, and we all have our go-to recipe, be it a family favorite or one pulled from a much-loved cookbook. And the benefits are far from folklore: A study published in the October 2000 edition of Chest suggests "that chicken soup may contain a number of substances with beneficial medicinal activity. A mild anti-inflammatory effect could be one mechanism by which the soup could result in the mitigation of symptomatic upper respiratory tract infections." In other words, there's science behind this classic soup, and its potential ability to relieve cold symptoms. For the study, they used a fairly classic chicken soup recipe (they even called it "Grandma's Soup"): chicken, onions, sweet potato, parsnips, turnips, carrots, celery stems, and parsley, plus salt and pepper. One of the best ways to boost the health benefits of any soup recipe is using a bone broth for the base, or a homemade stock (since they're not all that different, really). While we're all for sticking to the classic tried-and-true recipe, there are also numerous ways to edit and update classic chicken soup to make it into something new. Below, find three of our favorite healthy versions:  |

The 9 Best Recipe Apps To Channel Your Inner Chef - The Manual Posted: 15 Jan 2021 01:30 AM PST Last year, we all spent a lot of time on our cell phones searching for recipes. Our new normal has led us to get in touch with our inner chefs. We also learned that searching for recipes via the web on your mobile device can be a laborious task in and of itself. Nine times out of ten, when you find a recipe that looks good, you're directed to a food blog where you have to scroll through pages of the author's story about the dish's history, where they got the ingredients, what the food means to them, and other SEO filler. Not to mention the pop-up ads! If you haven't realized it by now, this is where recipe apps come in very handy. In some instances, you'll have to endure ads (mostly in free apps), but in most cases, recipe apps are direct and to the point. They take you to the recipe, with a clear list of ingredients and how to prepare them. They have a photo with the finished product (which you hope you can match), and that's it. Some apps even have set-by-set video instructions that will walk you through the cooking process. Unlike food blogs, you can choose to click on additional content. Plus, depending on the app, they have tons of other useful features. There are even apps dedicated to your dietary restrictions (plant-based/vegan, keto, etc.). In 2021 these apps are an example of how technology can work for you, not the other way around. Note that some of the features described below may not be available in the apps that charge for a premium subscription. Kitchen Stories If you depend on visual aids for pretty much anything (which most of us do) then KitchenStories is the perfect app. Every recipe comes with step-by-step image guides, and some have video tutorials. They have an extensive recipe archive created by KitchenStories' in-house chefs. You can save your favorite recipes and comment on them to give tips to other users. Another nice feature of this app is that it has a shopping list generator that you can export to your phone's reminders. KitchenStories focuses on simple meals with simple ingredients. There's also a ton of original content in the form of articles and videos that you can use for inspiration. In our opinion, KitchenStories is by far the best option for a totally free app that doesn't ask you to subscribe to a premium version. Price: Free BBC Good Food Like the BBC's TV programming, the BBC Good Food app is an excellent source for unbiased, straightforward recipes. The app contains a large library of over 10,000 recipes submitted by users, Good Food professional chefs, and celebrity chefs. The recipes are clear, set-by-set instructions. Plus, you can save and categorize your favorite recipes for easy access offline. It's also easy to share recipes with family and friends. Price: Free Tasty

TODAY’s top 10 recipes of 2020 - TODAY Posted: 31 Dec 2020 12:00 AM PST 2020 has been an unprecedented year. And often, in times of turmoil, it's not uncommon to turn to the comfort of cooking. With more time spent at home than ever before, it's given us all a chance to get better acquainted with our inner chef. From the homemade sourdough sensation to the banana bread boom to the whirlwind of whipped coffee posts popping up on social media, this was the year to get creative in the kitchen. We took a look at back at the most popular recipes in TODAY Food's recipe library to see what our readers were whipping up in 2020. These dishes run the gamut from minimalist modern foods to old favorites. Here are the top 10 recipes: 1. Dolly Parton's Milk Gravy Terri Peters / TODAY Legendary country singer Dolly Parton makes creamy gravy with only 4 ingredients in just 5 minutes. "Every now and then I'll make my husband, Carl, an extra special breakfast. Some of our favorites are Southern staples like sausage patties and flaky biscuits, and this creamy milk gravy is the perfect topping," Parton told TODAY in December. 2. Easy Egg Bite Muffins Ghazalle Badiozamani / Instant Loss Eat Real, Lose Weight: How I Lost 125 Pounds--Includes 100+ Recipes Make sure to bake a double batch of Brittany Williams' easy egg bites. Serve some for breakfast and freeze the rest for busy mornings. They're a great way to start the day with a healthy and filling meal, especially if you're always in a hurry. In addition to being nutritious and time saving, they are also completely customizable. Leave out the cheese to ditch the dairy, swap in the family's favorite veggies or add ham or bacon for an extra protein boost. This is a great base recipe, so don't be afraid to change it up and get creative. 3. Siri Daly's Sticky Ham Sandwiches Nathan R. Congleton / TODAY TODAY contributor Siri Daly learned to make these sensational sliders from her friend's mom who made these sweet and savory sandwiches famous in her hometown. "This delicious, crowd-pleasing sandwich is truly the perfect game-day snack. I like to use disposable baking dishes for easy clean up, and for the fact that I am almost always transporting these sandwiches to some sort of football tailgate," Daly told TODAY back in 2016. 4. Kourtney Kardashian's 3-Ingredient Avocado Pudding Samantha Okazaki / TODAY Kourtney Kardashian calls this "a power meal in a cup" — and this recipe has been powering through as one of TODAY's favorites since 2016. Try it for breakfast or a satisfying snack. It only takes about a minute to make and there's no cooking needed. Just blitz all the ingredients in a blender and enjoy. 5. One-Pot Mexican Rice with Black Beans and Corn Maggie Shi This delicious dinner recipe from 2016 is the very definition of a one-pot wonder. The main ingredients are pantry and freezer staples, it's family friendly, quick to prepare and keeps cleanup easy. Even though it's a vegetarian dish, it can easily adapt to be vegan-friendly or accommodate meat eaters. 6. Ina Garten's Shortbread Hearts Image Source / Getty Images stock This is Ina Garten's go-to shortbread recipe. "These cookies are the quintessence of shortbread and have been my all-time favorite cookie since the first time I tried one, over fifteen years ago," Garten told TODAY earlier this month. She also uses the dough for lots of variations on this recipe — Linzer cookies, pecan shortbread and even raspberry tarts. 7. Sour Cream Rhubarb Cookies Maggie Shi / TODAY Bright pink bits of rhubarb peek out from these pretty cookies, which are tangy, tart and lightly sweet all at once. The sour cream adds a smoothness that makes each bite a pleasure. With their soft, light-as-air texture, they practically melt in your mouth. They're perfect for special occasions but easy enough for an everyday treat. 8. Patti LaBelle's Sweet Potato Pie Courtesy of Broadway Books, an imprint of Penguin Random House, LLC. Singer Patti LaBelle learned this pie recipe from her best friend and hairstylist Norma Gordon Harris. "This sweet potato pie has a thin layer of brown sugar on the bottom crust. This 'black bottom' doesn't just add flavor, it also helps keep the filling from making the crust soggy. The recipe makes a good amount of the delicious filling — this isn't one of those skimpy sweet potato pies. It tastes like sweet potatoes, not pineapple or raisins or other fillers that some people stick in their pies," LaBelle told TODAY back in 2018. Serve slices of this perfect pie as is or with a dollop of whipped cream on top. 9. Rao's Meatballs with Marinara Sauce Courtesy of Rao's Restaurant If you're looking for a hot and cozy fall recipe, look no further than these amazing meatballs from Rao's restaurant in New York City. Rao's has been serving up authentic Italian food since 1896. They recommend making these mouthwatering meatballs using only the freshest and best quality products. Their secret to a juicy and tender meatball is to bake or fry them and then simmer them for a good, long while in flavorful tomato sauce. 10. Thin-Cut 'Minute' Pork Chops Nathan Congleton / TODAY Calling these "minute" pork chops is only a bit of stretch. Thin-cut chops need to cook for just a couple of minutes on each side. This quick dinner gets its bold taste from a combination of salty soy sauce, rich butter and tangy balsamic vinegar. The flavor trifecta amps up the natural umami essence of the pork and makes it easy to pair with a wide range of sides.  |
