Keep it Rolling...

My kids' absolute favorite dinner, a soup I'm eating on repeat, a better than takeout staple, and a riff on a restaurant showstopper

Hi, hey, how’s it going? Can I ask you for some feedback? What recipes are hitting? Which ones are digital page turners (as in you’re like, nope, that has curry paste I’m never going to make that)? Is four recipes a week too many? Too much cooking? The main idea of this whole thing is that it’s super practical and user friendly. Help me make it that! I think only paid subscribers can comment here, but anyone can leave a comment in my substack chat HERE, or shoot me an email, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Wild Card: Bacon and Corn Pasta

When I told my kids I was writing this newsletter, my son asked, “So are you just doing our favorites? Have you given them (he means you) bacon and corn pasta yet?” And my daughter: “But what about bacon and corn pasta?” The thing about starting a recipe newsletter in January is that corn season is a long way away, and so I wasn’t planning to give you this recipe until this summer. However, it turns out that kids don’t really care about seasonality, so when I spied some corn at the grocery store I bought it and made this and my kids were so happy. Yours will be, too. I don’t usually start with the wild card, but this really is my kids’ all time favorite meal. Like most recipes, it’s flexible—it’s great with shrimp and/or tomatoes added in with the bacon and corn, you could add basil, or I guess even swap the corn for something else (but don’t tell my kids).
