Pork Egg Roll Noodle Bowl, Spring Vegetable Pasta Alfredo, and Chickpea Pot Pie

Scrolling around Instagram can be an hour gone before you know it. (That’s half the fun and half the risk!) All those accounts with beautiful food and recipes that are carefully bookmarked for another day. We finally dug into our list of “make soon” recipes and found three that stood above the crowd. A pork noodle bowl, chickpea pot pie, and vegetable pasta alfredo all made the cut of more than a few forgotten recipes.

Salt and Spice
The Dinner Sisters share tips on buying fancy (but totally worth it) salt and how to keep spices fresh in your pantry. We found better salt made roasted vegetables, steak, and even our daily egg that much more delicious. Keeping spices fresh means less waste and tastier meals. Win-win.

Egg Poacher
Unitaskers, those kitchen gadgets that do only one thing, can be the bane of kitchen storage. Strawberry hullers, avocado slicers, and garlic peelers take up space and could be replaced by a good sharp knife. But sometimes a unitasker can make life easier. Kate talks about her favorite gadget, the egg poacher. Maybe you'll find a way to make breakfast easier.
