NEW RECIPES: Cheesy Slow Cooker Sausage Balls, Stollen, Spanakopita, and MORE!

Latest recipes from Simply Recipes.   Hello, friends! I've been giving a lot of thought lately to this whole phenomenon of online grocery shopping, especially now that you can order ingredients for our recipes right from the recipe itself. Conceptually, I love it. What could be better than saving some time every weekend, especially right now during the busy holidays, and having my groceries delivered to my doorstep instead? But in reality, I find myself a little…hesitant. I really prefer picking out my own produce and meat, and I like being inspired by things as I walk down the aisles. There are also times when I want to make a quick swap if, say, the broccoli doesn't look good or they're out of the fish I wanted. And then I came across Bon Appétit food director Carla Lalli Music's recommendation for a third way of thinking about this. In her cookbook Where Cooking Begins she suggests using online shopping for "functional groceries" and in-person shopping for "fun groceries." In other words, save yourself an hour on Saturday and order the "functional" staples that never change, like cereal and sparkling water, from an online delivery service. Then during the week, make a quick stop after work to pick up the "fun" things you want to shop for personally or need for dinner that night, like pork chops and apples. This way of shopping really makes sense to me, and I like that it shakes me out of my either/or thinking. I'm going to give it a try for the next few weeks and see how it feels. Maybe this way of shopping makes sense to you, too? Or maybe not. Either way, I thought I'd  share it as some food for thought!
