What We’re Cooking

I'm mixing things up a bit! Rather than crafting a new recipe every week based on one store's deals, I'll be sharing a few fun ideas inspired by the sales highlighted in this newsletter. Happy cooking.

Taking advantage of deals on chicken and broccoli at QFC, you can whip up this incredibly simple and flavorful weeknight meal with one pan, making cleanup a breeze.

This classic recipe from Serious Eats ensures you get tender, flavorful chicken and perfectly cooked, but still crisp, peppers and onions. Using the Albertsons/Safeway deals for chicken, bell peppers, onions and avocados helps make this fresh, flavorful meal a steal.

Several stores have specials on beef stew meat this week, so take your pick and then cook up this simple but flavorful beef stew perfect for this cooler fall weather.

Events
