Homemade Broccoli Cheddar Soup


Hey Reader,

Broccoli cheddar soup is something I always ordered at restaurants, and I was so glad when I finally started making it at home. My Broccoli Cheddar Soup is smooth, cheesy, and ready in less than an hour.

It starts with a butter and flour roux, then I add a little thyme and a pinch of nutmeg. I grate the sharp cheddar from a block so it melts smooth. One tip: take the pot off the heat before you add the cheese, and stir it in a handful at a time so it doesn't turn grainy.

Copycat Chipotle chicken on a plate with ingredients around it

Hi Reader, We order Chipotle often in my house, so I worked on making it at home. It took some trial and error, but I think I nailed my Copycat Chipotle Chicken. It's chicken thighs in a smoky chipotle marinade, with a little lime added. I like to make a big batch and use it all week in tacos, burritos, bowls, and salads.

Pulled pork in a slow cooker insert

Hi Reader, I'm a huge barbecue fan, and pulled pork has always been my thing. My Slow Cooker Pulled Pork has been on repeat in our house, because big cuts of pork do so well low and slow in the slow cooker. I made it again just last week, and it was so good. I keep the rub simple on purpose, just five pantry spices with no sugar. That way you can finish it however you want: BBQ sauce for sandwiches, lime juice for tacos, or just the pan juices. Prep takes about 10 minutes. From a reader: "If...

Jerk turkey breast carved into slices on a white platter with lime wedges

Hi Reader, We eat a lot of jerk in my house, and I had a lot of it growing up, so it was only a matter of time before it ended up on my turkey. Here it is, my Jamaican Jerk Turkey Breast. Lately I've been buying turkey breast halves and cooking them for more than just holiday dinner. I roast one on the weekend, carve it, and use the meat in salads and sandwiches all week. I make it with Walkerswood jerk seasoning. Prep takes about 10 minutes, and most of the time is just the turkey sitting in...
