…It all started with Twitter. My husband started following the Steak-umms account, and from there, it spiraled quickly. Before I knew it, we had boxes upon boxes in our freezer. Now, we are certainly fans of cheesesteaks, but there are only so many we can eat.
I was never one to waste food; I was determined to find creative ways to use the pounds and pounds of steak-umms. I’ve found that they are a versatile ingredient that leads to some quick dinners.

…We’ve got the best Hulu Cooking Shows!
One of our thoughts here at The Kitchen Chalkboard is that cooking should be fun. It is not just the notion of throwing some food on a plate to get dinner on the table. It’s a hobby that can be enjoyable and entertaining. Food shows are a big part of that.
Whether you are looking for inspiration and want to see what’s cooking worldwide or enjoy a laugh, food shows are perfect. But, with so many streaming services and cable channels, it’s tough to know which series are worth your time.
We watched every show in the cooking/food genre on Hulu. Read on for the Best Hulu Cooking Shows.

…Over the past year, many have used grocery delivery services, some out of convenience, others out of necessity. Forty-eight percent of consumers purchased at least some of their groceries online in 2018, according to Invespcro. The company projects that 70 percent will be using these services in some capacity by 2022.
At the Kitchen Chalkboard, we’ve been using these services since they started and have written extensively about the benefits, including cost comparisons and money-saving tips. We’ve got jobs, busy lives and are raising little kids. The convenience was unrivaled.
After trying Instacart, Peapod, and others, we exclusively use one service for our food shopping. With hundreds of orders placed to date, we have years of experience and insight to provide an honest Amazon Fresh review.

…The other night, on one of my favorite Bravo shows, Below Deck Mediterranean, Captain Sandy gently reprimanded the chef for serving dark meat on fish to the guests. As we try to eat more of a Mediterranean Diet, I’m trying to incorporate more fish into our meal plans, and the show got me thinking, what is the dark meat on fish? Is it safe to eat?
My family cooked straightforward foods growing up, and we only ate fish on Fridays during Lent. I’ve had a fear of cooking fish– specifically improperly cooking it. I decided I had to get to the bottom of why some fish meat is brown or dark and is it safe to eat?

…How many of us have gone into the warehouse store, Costco, and had eyes bigger than our stomachs? I know I have! I’ve purchased things that I thought were a bargain, only to throw it out after a long stint in the freezer or cupboard. So much for saving money. It’s wasn’t indeed a bargain since it went to waste.
Throwing out food is like putting money in the trash. Recent estimates have the average family wasting hundreds of dollars worth of food per year. Tortellini is so versatile; there’s no need to let it go to waste.
So let’s save money, enjoy a great ingredient that’s the basis of satisfying meals and use up that frozen pasta.

…I recently had a friend ask me how much pasta per person I make. I started to think about how I never made the right amount of either ingredient. Either there is enough pasta to feed an army, or it’s barely enough for my family of four. As for the sauce, it’s sometimes swimming in marinara, and other times it’s tough to get the bottom of the bowl coated. It seems so simple, but I never really took the time to get it right.
I decided to answer the question of how much pasta per person is needed. Also, how much sauce do we need? Throughout the research, I learned so much, and boy, was I doing it all wrong!
Want the perfect ratio of pasta to the sauce along with all of the other ins and outs?
