I have to say, there’s nothing quite like the nostalgic charm of a grilled cheese sandwich to whisk you back to the simple joys of childhood. I remember those lazy weekend afternoons, tucking into a melty grilled cheese made with those classic Kraft slices sandwiched between fluffy white bread, often paired with a steamy bowl of tomato soup. But as we've grown, so has the grilled cheese. It has evolved into a gourmet delight with endless variations—artisan bread, a mix of cheeses, and even some avocado or bacon for a modern twist. I think it’s safe to say, we've truly perfected this comforting classic.

Rendang is a rich, flavorful Indonesian dish known for its tender beef cooked in a mixture of spices and coconut milk. It’s a beloved dish in Indonesia and around the world. Below is a friendly step-by-step guide to help you prepare this delicious meal right in your kitchen! Steps to Cook Authentic Indonesian Rendang: 1. Prepare the Ingredients Begin by preparing your ingredients. Slice the beef into bite-sized cubes. Peel and chop the shallots, garlic, and ginger. Cut the lemongrass into pieces and bruise it with the back of your knife to release its flavor. Slice the kaffir lime leaves and set all ingredients aside. 2. Blend the Spices In a blender or food processor, combine the shallots, garlic, ginger, turmeric, chili peppers, and a small amount of water to create a smooth spice paste. This paste will form the base of your rendang sauce. 3. Cook the Spice Paste In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the spice paste to the pot and sauté it for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes fragrant and slightly caramelized. 4. Add the Beef Once the spice paste is ready, add the beef cubes to the pot. Stir well, ensuring each piece of beef is coated with the spice mixture. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the beef is browned on all sides. 5. Add the Coconut Milk and Aromatics Pour in the coconut milk and add the lemongrass, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, cloves, and kaffir lime leaves. Stir everything together, ensuring the beef is submerged in the liquid. Add a pinch of salt and the tamarind paste for an extra layer of flavor. 6. Simmer the Rendang Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook, uncovered, for about 2-3 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom. The beef will become tender, and the sauce will gradually thicken as it reduces. 7. Adjust Seasoning After a few hours, taste the rendang and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, sugar, or tamarind for a balanced flavor. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little water or more coconut milk to reach your desired consistency. 8. Final Reduction Continue simmering until the sauce has thickened into a rich, dark brown color and the oil begins to separate from the sauce. This indicates that the rendang is ready. The beef should be tender and the flavors should be deep and well-integrated. 9. Serve and Enjoy Remove the rendang from the heat and discard the lemongrass, cinnamon stick, and cardamom pods. Serve your rendang with steamed rice or traditional Indonesian side dishes. Enjoy this rich, flavorful dish!

These are the best soup and stew recipes. I start making these in September as soon as I feel a chill in the air. I also love picking 3-4 of these recipes and hosting a soup party. A lot of these recipes call for chicken or other broth. I recommend buying Better Than Bouillon instead. It is more flavorful and less expensive than boxed stock. For me, soups and stews are all about the toppings and accompanying carbs. I always serve these with tortilla chips, crusty bread, flatbread, or a sandwich.

I picked up my love of cooking from my grandparents, one on either side of the family. My mother's mother always had the ingredients on hand for a cake or a fresh batch of dinner rolls, and it didn't take much to convince her to bust them out. My father's father, on the other hand, was a man who lived to feed his community. He grew up during the Depression, and nothing gave him more joy than laying out a giant table of food and sitting back to watch his loved ones eat. I learned the joy of good food from both of them.
