Eliminate Your Search for Pot Lids with This Organizing Rack — Amazon Deal of the Day

(Image credit: Amazon)

You have a full set of posts and pans, but if you do a lot of sautéing or frying, you never really need the lids that came with the set. It’s only when you’re cooking rice or making splatter-worthy sauces that you need to dig them out, and because they’re not often used, they’re usually hard to find.

Recipe: Fast and Fancy Lemon Biscuits — Quick and Easy Baking

(Image credit: Joe Lingeman)

This play on classic cream biscuits gets a fresh upgrade with help from sunny citrus and a finishing touch of coarse sugar. They skew slightly sweet, making for tender, pillowy biscuits that instantly feel a little bit more fancy. I love them with a spread of jam in the morning, or piled high with fruit and cream for dessert.

Our Favorite Lunch Box That You Won’t Forget on Hectic Mornings — Shopping

It’s happened to the best of us: You stay up late or wake up early to make the most amazing lunch. You get super excited about it and pat yourself on the back. You’re saving money and eating something delicious! And then you get halfway to work and realize that, in the morning chaos, you left said delicious meal in the fridge — or worse, on the counter where it’s sure to spoil before you can get home to rescue it.

Fun fact: Packing your lunch is only successful if you actually take it with you. If this happens to you again and again, you’re wasting money (on the food you didn’t get to eat and the lunch you now have to buy in the afternoon). You’d be better off spending a little bit of money now ($40, to be exact) to invest in a lunch box situation that you’re sure to remember to grab on your way out the door.

8 Little Habits That Save Me Big at the Grocery Store — The Financial Diet

Welcome to a column from The Financial Diet, one of our very favorite sites, dedicated to money and everything it touches. One of the best ways to take charge of your financial life is through food and cooking. This column from TFD founders Chelsea Fagan and Lauren Ver Hage will help you be better with money, thanks to the kitchen.

I love grocery shopping. I have an almost-comically large and well-stocked Fairway about a 15-minute walk from my apartment, and I can easily lose three hours wandering its aisles, shivering in its enormous refrigerated room, and marveling at the giant wall of pickles and olives. I don’t just love to grocery shop because I love to cook (which I very much do) — I love to grocery shop because to me it is the perfect diversion. It’s mindless but useful, it’s full of engaging colors and smells and (sample-sized) tastes, and when done with a detailed list, can feel satisfyingly like a treasure hunt. Seeing how many combinations I can make with the ingredients, how many small discoveries I can make in the condiment or dry-goods aisles, has always felt quietly thrilling.

Like I said, I love grocery shopping.

One Thing You Should Banish from Your Kitchen Right Now — Organizing Tips from Kitchn

The kitchen is the hub of the home; the place where everyone gathers before they rush out the door and as they settle in for the night. And because everyone gathers there, so does their stuff — purses and backpacks, homework and craft projects, and all those random odds and ends that get collected throughout the day.

One of those things, however, you should banish immediately: that pile of unopened mail. Get it off the counter and off the table.
