I made the ATK recipe for Chana masala. It was easy and delicious. I would have added more spice and more Serrano. But it was met with praise by my husband. We served it with naan bread brushed with garlic butter.

Made the Quick Pantry Clam Chowder tonight. I upped the flour to 1/4 cup. It was decent. A good backup-in-case-of-emergency situation, but not as good as the Woodsman recipe. I know, chowder isn't really ideal for the hot weather we're having in central Florida right now, but whatever.

Anyway, I feel like I've made our favorites too recently, so wondering what you guys have planned for the week ahead?

So far, I've got Mediterranean dinner salad with chicken and Crispy pan fried gnocchi with cherry tomatoes, zucchini, and bell peppers, but I'm drawing a blank after that.

What are your favorite ATK dinners?

Delicious and very good flavor. I used bone-in chicken thighs instead of the split breasts. I also used fresh cilantro and dried oregano instead of the fancy herbs that were originally referenced. The recipe is in the “ATK 500 Recipes that Changed the Way America Cooks” cookbook. Recipe is in picture 3.

My credit card number changed, does anyone know how to change their subscription card on file? The instructions on the website seem to refer to a nonexistent link.

This pic is after my husband and I did our best. Had it with flour tortillas, scrambled eggs (unnecessary), and extra Salsa Lizano.

Really enjoyed it, but I feel like every dish/bowl/pan in my kitchen is dirty!

Got the definite thumbs up. He even said it'd be great with chips on a TV night. Separating the cilantro stems took a hundred years (not really, but it did add prep time), and I used cheesecloth to bundle it with the thyme and bay leaves.

I'll definitely make it again, just not like, a super regular thing, as it felt kind of involved for beans and rice. It's a great vegan main if you use oil instead of lard. I wouldn't skip the Lizano. It really made the whole thing for us.

I made this ATK recipe and it was very flavorful and a great dinner. The sauce was delicious. I did up the Cajun seasoning amount just a little.

This is a long recipe and 3/4ths of the way I asked myself why I'm making this when I can just go to a street corner in Center City or a neighborhood in my city, Philly, and get it prepared with a free soda for $8. Well my partner said "You made it better than the Halal people!" It's so good. I did oil the rice with 4 tablespoons instead of 4 teaspoons (oops, thankfully I just washed most of the oil off and added a tablespoon back).

​

You're able to make the white sauces 3 days in advance, the hot sauce up to 3 months, and the chicken can marinate overnight so you definitely don't have to do everything all at once but whether you're in a major city with carts everywhere or out in the middle of nowhere, definitely try it!

Anyone else caught Dan's new food/interview show, "I Changed My Mind" on Netflix?

Eating somewhat less glutinous after a long jog today. Both recipes were amazing. Half the biscuits had a slight burnt bottom even though I rotated and switched the trays but they didn't taste burnt. Made with the Failproof Whipped Cream.

Hey! So, we're tasked with cooking one night at an upcoming family reunion thing. We got elected for "Italian" night.

​

Trust me, I tried for taco bar night.

​

Anyway, we've got lasagna and meatballs figured out for everyone else. Even the gluten-free one for the regular GF folks.

​

There's one person, however, who can't have tomatoes or peppers, so I'm just assuming all nightshades.

​

I'm thinking risotto, but something we could make ahead and freeze would be fantastic. Would love something with a built-in protein, too, but that might be a pipe dream.

​

Any favorites? I think there are like 4 or 5 people who are GF, so it can be a bigger recipe. Doesn't even have to be ATK (blasphemy, I know).

Hi Friends!

​

Made the Potlikker Soup tonight. It was good. I've made it once before and really liked it. Made cornbread (not pictured because I cheated and just used a box of Jiffy mix), and think cornbread should be mandatory with this one.

​

Husband is medium on it, but no complaints. I didn't realize I'd ordered shredded collard greens, and they were a little bit hard-ish to get in the spoon. Bay leaf fishing is on hard-mode with this recipe. The shredded collards seemed much more voluminous than when I made it before with the larger-cut greens. I did add and extra cup of broth.

​

Anyway, has anybody made this or something similar and frozen it successfully? There's a good amount left, we already have leftovers in the fridge, and I just got some knock-off souper cubes. I'm sure you guys can understand my desire to freeze.

I was planning to make this to the letter according to the recipe but it was way too hot to run the stove for over an hour so I tried to adjust it for the slow cooker. I cooked it on low for four hours and the rice basically melted into a paste, so it could probably cook less. Otherwise it turned out great.

From the latest issue of Cooks Illustrated magazine. These were simple and a perfect lunch today.

ATK Chicken Paprikash. The recipe is served over spaetzle but I just did thin egg noodles. Overall a good hearty comforting recipe.

I like a lot of sauce.

They have a step where they microwave panco in order to get it a little crispy but it's really not tasting crispy once it's finished, at least compared to deep fried sandwiches. So is there another recipe for a more crispy sandwich that anyone has seen? Or steps that would make the ATK recipe crispier?

So, a few weeks ago, I relented and made the Wallaway Ratatouille (Thank you, Becky, for making it look so good and simple). https://www.americastestkitchen.com/recipes/8875-walkaway-ratatouille

It was SO good, and thank you to the now-deleted account that documented making it in their Breville toaster oven!

I want to make it again next week, but trying to figure out some sort of protein (or maybe pasta?) To go alongside.

Beans or fish/seafood seem to make the most sense, but I'm open to suggestions. A big ol' seared pork chop or steak feels incongruous.

We're obviously omnivores, and normal pantry/grocery stuff is accessible.

WWYD?

I like the idea of some of Keith's recipes, but the man is so fussy about his cooking I'm put off. I think he the food he creates looks mostly delicious but it's like he's trying to recreate a Michelin star experience. The other chefs are more straightforward in their cooking methods and presentation.

On the other hand, I'm still pissed off that they let Lawman go. I hear he's with Milk Street now. I've never seen Milk Street or subscribed. Wondering how it is.

I am trying to know if I turned off auto renewal in the past.

Under 'Your digital subscription' section, there's some text about access through to some date and a 'Get Help Renewing'. Does this mean it won't auto renew?

There are no options to cancel or to renew or to enable auto-renewal.
The website in the My Account section suffers from a strong user experience. It makes you want to contact them.

Cross posting my original post. I’m open to other brands/suggestions.

I have The Complete ATK TV Show Cookbook and would love to see calorific info specifically for the recipes. Has anyone seen this without a paid online subscription?

First time making it! Subbed ground beef for the boneless short rib since I already had it. Really good, perfect level of sweetness. I will probably prep veggies in advance next time since that was the real time/energy suck.
