Nuts Too Salty? Try This Trick — Comment of the Day

Have you ever bought nuts for snacking or cooking and discovered that they were really salty — too salty to eat comfortably?

Home Chef's Meal Kits Help You Cook Restaurant-Quality Dinners in Your Kitchen — Product Review

Service: Home Chef
Price: Home Chef meals are priced at $9.95 per serving. Delivery is free for orders over $40, and $10 for orders less than that.
Overall Impression: Home Chef is a meal-kit delivery service with nine to 10 different chef-created dishes every week, paired with step-by-step recipe cards.

While I love cooking dinner, choosing what to make is sometimes a struggle. I like to keep meals and recipes varied, and occasionally I have a hard time finding inspiration for what to cook. On top of that, hitting the grocery store after work sits near the top of my list of least favorite activities.

While I don't think dinner kits are a regular weekly solution for me, I do find them interesting. I've tried a few other services, so when I heard about Home Chef I was excited to try it out.

Recipe: Breakfast Baked Potato — Breakfast Recipes from The Kitchn

As an avid camper, some of my favorite dishes have made their way from the indoor kitchen to the great outdoors. Of course, there's always a bit of adjustment when roughing it, but the spirit of the dishes remains the same.

However, I cannot say that many camping foods have made their way back inside to the home kitchen — except for this recipe for breakfast baked potatoes. I discovered these while in Yosemite, and now this breakfast makes an appearance at my home at least every other week.
