The Ultimate Egg Food Safety Guide

Poached, hard-boiled, scrambled, or sunny side up, there's no denying that egg's versatility (along with its vitamin and mineral-heavy nutritional profile) makes it the ultimate breakfast superfood. The always reliable, inexpensive protein is also quite easy to prepare, requiring little to zero kitchen experience and typically only one piece of reliable cookware (either a saucepan, skillet, or baking dish). On top of that, they're also quite safe to consume if you take proper storage precautions into consideration, both pre and post cooking.

What to Do with Chickpeas Other Than Hummus

A can of chickpeas can take you almost anywhere you want to go. These creamy garbanzo beans can carry you from propping up a flaky, halibut fillet peppered with piquant capers to a pile of moist, rich, fudge-y brownies. One of our favorite lovely legumes, chickpeas are usually pulverized into a smooth puree, losing all of their original shape and texture for hummus. While hummus became so popular for a reason — it's a healthy, delicious, filling dip — that method is tired. Overplayed. Let's give the garbanzo bean a new role. Hell, let's give it all sorts of roles. It's a multi-dimensional character. (more...)

Homemade Biscoff (Belgian Speculoos Cookies)

These crispy cookies are rich and aromatic thanks to the floral character of Ceylon cinnamon and the deeply caramelized sweetness of well toasted sugar or Belgian-style brown sugar, sometimes called candi sugar or cassonade—accept no substitutions! The spice blend is subtle, but vital to capturing the gentle spiciness of the real deal, so be sure to use level measurements or else bust out a microscale if you have one. Get Recipe!

Shrimp with Olives, Tomatoes, and Orzo

Shrimp lovers! Have you ever tried shrimp with black olives?

It’s one of those master flavor combos which I’m sure chefs have known about for years, but I discovered by accident the other day when I happened to have some cooked shrimp and canned olives in the fridge and I took a bite of each. Wow, so good!

Here’s the recipe that evolved from that serendipitous moment—a quick and easy dinner with shrimp cooked in a fresh tomato, garlic, caper, and olive sauce, tossed with orzo pasta and chopped arugula.

Popeyes’ Cookie-Crusted Chicken Fingers Are a Thing and We’re Not Complaining

[caption id="attachment_184176" align="alignnone" width="620" caption="Popeyes"][/caption]

Be still, our chicken finger-loving hearts.

We all love a good flavor mash-up, but frankly, Oreo has dominated this scene for far too long.

As a departure from the store-bought norm, we were tickled to find that chicken giant Popeyes' has released a new cookie-crusted variety of its famous fried tenders. (Eat your heart out, Nabisco.)

Dubbed "Sweet and Crunchy Tenders," your new favorite fast food obsession is breaded and crumbled with buttery shortbread cookies; a flavor combo that makes entirely too much sense. And while many purists have voiced their concern over messing with tradition, these are simply a limited edition menu item that is available until June 25.

This may be the first of many specialty dishes that Popeyes has up its sleeve. The New Orleans-based chain was recently acquired by Burger King's Restaurants Brands International, which have been the masterminds behind such delicacies as chicken fries and black bun Whoppers.

For those interested in the dessert-inspired concoction, you can head to Popeyes for their $5 special: tenders, fries, and a biscuit. The restaurant also recommends a side of sweet and spicy Smokin' Pepper Jam sauce, but if you're bold enough to eat cookies with your chicken, feel free to pair these with whatever the hell you want.

If you want to make your own chicken fingers within the comfort of your own home, try our Baked Cracker-Crusted Chicken Finger recipe. Sure, the crackers aren't cookies and the chicken is baked instead of fried, but you'll get the satisfaction of knowing that you can cook.
