I've been home alone for the last few days and discovered that if I don't have a plan for dinner, I will just not eat until I get so starving that I make a big, overly cheesy grilled cheese sandwich. In this episode, I tell you what I did on Day 2 of alone time so that I didn't end up starvingly stuffing cheese in my mouth at 10pm again. I also have a tangent about garlic powder, and I'm share a very simple, tasty recipe for thin-sliced boneless short ribs (flanken-style ribs). This is something I make all the time but don't have a written down recipe for. But really, it doesn't need one because it really is just that easy.

Excitement is the theme of the day, and I have a lot that I'm excited about. First, the low dollar amount that I spent at Aldi's to feed a crowd for my upcoming improv party, which I am also very excited about. Have I mentioned that I love doing improv? lol

Another thing to be excited about is the No Recipe Chicken Parm that I tell you how to make in this episode. It's really the easiest thing, but tastes just like the classic. You're going to be totally wow'ed by this one, promise.

I crave this stew all. the. time. Rich and warming, spicy, meaty, and ohhh the satisfyingly chewy but soft texture of the hominy. And my favorite part, the fresh toppings! This recipe has all those classic characteristics of a delicious pozole but is quick and easy enough that you can make it for dinner tonight. I’m going to! Let’s do it!

I’ve come up with a way to make Chicken Cordon Bleu that’s super-easy, by stacking the ingredients instead of stuffing them. And even better, now you can make it your air fryer! Recipe: Air Fryer Chicken Cordon Bleu from COOKtheSTORY.

My own family's Easter menu is the focus of today's Recipe of the Day podcast episode. There's the usual ham, deviled eggs, scalloped potatoes, and veg. But then also two extras that really make it feel like Easter to me, and I'm going to tell you more about making them.

First up is Paska, that beautiful braided Ukrainian bread. My family's version, which goes back to my great grandmother, has saffron and golden raisins. Today, I'm not telling you how to make it though. I am instead lamenting about flour in Florida and hoping for a solution.

Second is something I only ever make at Easter time, although I don't know why, since I love it so much. It's a traditional Ukrainian meat dish called studenetz. You've probably heard it called something else, but I prefer to not use that name. "Studenetz" has a more musical ring to it, and people are more likely to taste it and to like it when it has that title!
