As a backyard beekeeper, a naturopathic doctor, and the author of a popular book about honey…” liquid gold” is always on my mind. Excessive consumption of refined sugars found in processed foods plays a significant role in the plague of modern day chronic disease including obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Honey is a minimally processed […]

Understatement of the season: Chip and Joanna Gaines have earned an enormous following for their gorgeous home renovations on HGTV’s Fixer Upper. The couple and their adorable family have turned their signature taste into a lifestyle, with a magazine, Target line, and uber-popular Instagram feed to match.

Naturally when they entertain, you get the same kind of wow factor from their table as you do from one of their kitchen renovations. While I’m not expecting anyone to wear black-tie clothing to a family Thanksgiving (see below), Chip and Joanna have plenty of Thanksgiving ideas that are worth stealing.

Here’s what I’ve learned from looking at the couple’s past holiday celebrations.

Ina Garten has a lot of friends, so it’s safe to assume that she’ll receive an invitation to a Friendsgiving gathering this year. The real question is, what will she bestow upon the guests?

Before you all jump to conclusions and assume that Ina’s bringing a roast chicken (they’re just like small turkeys!), think again. We cut to the chase and asked for the intel from Ina directly — and her answer surprised us!

A Thanksgiving potluck is a wonderful idea. When each guest brings a dish, everybody gets the chance to contribute and show off a little, and no single person is stuck with the effort and expense of arranging the entire meal on their own.

The only problem with a Thanksgiving potluck is that transporting a big dish of hot, prepared food can be an absolute disaster. Trying to carry a hot pan right out of the oven without spilling the food or getting burned is enough to make a person wish they’d signed up for drinks duty.

But your friends, family, and coworkers deserve to taste your green bean casserole with mushroom bechamel, or your classic Thanksgiving sweet potatoes topped with beautiful, browned peaks of meringue. So before you start rethinking your go-to dish, keep reading this post.

I love cooking for people, but I also love a good shortcut. There’s nothing wrong with buying a frozen app (or three) to serve at a party — whether you’re hosting or showing up (just make sure to check with your host ahead of time, if you’re planning on needing the oven upon arrival!). In fact, I strongly encourage it. You have enough to do this time of year!

Fortunately, Trader Joe’s is always there to come to my rescue with an amazing selection of both seasonal and regular products, all at affordable prices. Here are the five best frozen apps in the store right now.

Chicken noodle soup is comfort food that both adults and kids love. When you don’t have the time or the energy to make long simmered, all-day chicken soup, this is the recipe you need. In about an hour you’ll be slurping noodles from a bowl filled with rich, flavorful broth, chicken and yes, you read that right, noodles.

Shirataki noodles, a low-carb noodle alternative, make a tasty stir-fry and are eminently delicious in a bowl of soup. These almost flavorless noodles soak up some of the flavor in the broth, which is made using only dark meat for the richest flavor. The shredded thigh meat mixed in with the noodles makes a filling and satisfying bowl of chicken noodle soup. Low-carb, richly flavorful, and quick and easy means that this is chicken noodle soup everyone can love.

Time in the Kitchen: 1 hour

Servings: 4 to 6

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs (about 6 thighs/1.1 kg)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or avocado oil (30 ml)
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 2 celery stalks, cut into ½-inch half-moons
  • 1 onion, chopped (either finely diced or bigger chunks, whichever you prefer)
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed
  • 2 teaspoons salt (10 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns (5 ml)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 6 cups chicken stock or water (1.6 L)
  • 1 package/7 ounces/200 g shirataki angel hair noodles 

Instructions

Using the sauté function on an electric pressure cooker, heat the butter or oil. Add the carrots, celery, onion and garlic. Sauté about 5 minutes, until lightly browned.

Add the chicken. Season everything in the pot with salt. Add peppercorns and bay leaf. Add the chicken stock or water.

Lock the lid in place, seal the vent, and cook for 15 minutes on high pressure. Release the pressure manually.

Use tongs to transfer the chicken to a plate. When the meat is cool enough to handle, shred the meat off the bones, and return the meat to the pot.

Turn the pressure cooker to “sauté” mode, bringing the broth to a simmer.

Open the package of shirataki noodles and drain the noodles in a colander. Rinse well under cold water.

Add the rinsed shirataki noodles to the soup. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
