Our Most Saved Recipe for the Super Bowl Ever

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

When it comes to the Big Game, there’s one thing on my mind, and it’s not the score or even the halftime show—it’s what’s on the table. I am firmly in the camp of what I call a HFTFF (Here for the Food Fan) and while I could care less about the teams playing, I am deeply invested in the menu. Whether you’re a serious football fan, or more like me, you’re probably in the throes of menu-planning for Super Bowl Sunday at the moment. So why not dig into the Allrecipes archive for our most-saved recipe for the occasion? Here’s the recipe our community members have been saving more than other for the Super Bowl, year after year after year.

The Secret Ingredient Behind Your Grandma’s Best Recipes

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

Ever wonder why Grandma’s cooking tastes so good? Of course, it’s because it is made with a lot of love. But it’s also sometimes made with ingredients we don’t necessarily want to know about. Case in point? My Nana’s favorite dip.

I grew up my entire childhood eating a dish called Liptauer, an Austrian cheese spread typically made with quark or another soft cheese, plus butter, paprika, other spices, and — in my grandma’s case — one particularly pungent ingredient. I happily gobbled the dip down on nearly every visit to her house, enamored with the creamy texture and mild, salty flavor. It wasn’t until I was older that I made the mistake of asking her what made my beloved Liptauer so good. The answer? Anchovies.

Stop Storing Avocados in Water — We Tried 3 Other Hacks to Prevent Browning

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

When you slice into a perfectly ripe avocado, you likely find yourself in the common predicament of how to keep the other half as green and fresh as the one you’re using. A recent TikTok trend had us all believing this problem was solved. All you do is submerge the cut avocado in a sealed container full of water in the fridge for a perfectly green avocado days later, but we can’t recommend it.

A representative for the FDA told Good Morning America that any residual human pathogens left on the surface of the avocado skin (like listeria or salmonella) might multiply in the water, which could lead to dangerous food-borne illnesses.

Plus, you’re left with a water-logged avocado. Instead, we tried three other ways for saving avocados for your next avocado toast, avocado salad, or guacamole.

This Brilliant Cheese-Slicing Hack Blew Our Minds

Posted on by Reluctant Retiree

Let’s start with an apology. We’re sorry we didn’t bring this hack to you back in November, before all the holiday cheese boards and charcuterie boards. Trust us, if we had known about this trick back then, we would have shared it with you. 

Fortunately, cheese isn’t just a holiday food. It’s everyday food for many of us, and there are always occasions to make cheeseboards, like birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine’s Day, an Oscar party, the big bowl game, or just your average Tuesday, to name a handful of occasions.

If you’re the one who always volunteers to bring the cheese to an event, and you like your cheese boards to look professional with uniform slices, you need to know about this trick.
