Making Pork Loin Carnitas is a great way to use up a pork loin. The leaner cut of meat gets fall-apart tender in a spicy and savory braising liquid. Recipe: Pork Carnitas Recipe from COOKtheSTORY.

Celebrations are in the air! My son is graduating from high school this month (don't ask me how that has happened so fast) and I've planned out the perfect make-ahead spring/summer luncheon for it that can adapt to any group. I'm telling you about that menu in today's Recipe of the Day podcast episode, and also about a recipe I'm using to celebrate with tonight. It involves some very special shrimp for some very special people. Have a great weekend, everyone!

If you’re looking for a classic, slow-simmered Italian Bolognese recipe, this is the one. It uses pancetta, milk (yes, really, it tenderizes the meat), and white wine (not red) to build a rich, balanced sauce. It’s finished the traditional way: tossed with hot pasta, a splash of pasta water, and cheese so it lightly coats every strand. Recipe: Bolognese Sauce from TheCookful.

I make macaroni salad for every single summer gathering that I host. And every single time, people ask me for the recipe. I finally decided to put it onto my site so that I can give out the link instead of writing it out each time. This is that recipe. Recipe: Macaroni Salad from TheCookful.

It's nuts but buying the more expensive orange juice can save you as much as $18 every 3 months. And this tip can be applied to a whole bunch of other grocery items, saving you an insane amount of money. That's the topic today as I dive into Orange Juice Mathematics, and into looking for the smartest formats of ingredients to buy at the store.

To keep on the orange juice theme, I'm sharing a tasty, easy recipe for Orange Chicken that makes just enough for two people and can be ready in 15 minutes. I also talk about two other budget-friendly formats for acquiring orange juice.

Listen now to save money and get hungry at the same time!

The key to a perfect rigatoni recipe is a sauce that really clings to the ridges in the pasta and gets right inside of the tubes too. THIS is that recipe! Recipe: Rigatoni Recipe from TheCookful.

I've been home alone for the last few days and discovered that if I don't have a plan for dinner, I will just not eat until I get so starving that I make a big, overly cheesy grilled cheese sandwich. In this episode, I tell you what I did on Day 2 of alone time so that I didn't end up starvingly stuffing cheese in my mouth at 10pm again. I also have a tangent about garlic powder, and I'm share a very simple, tasty recipe for thin-sliced boneless short ribs (flanken-style ribs). This is something I make all the time but don't have a written down recipe for. But really, it doesn't need one because it really is just that easy.
