Easy French Bread Pizza for a Quick Weeknight Dinner27 oct. 202600:29:15

In this episode of Everyday Cooks Recipe Club, Stephanie and Kelly get together in person to cook up a nostalgic dish: French bread pizza. We share tips on choosing the right bread, how to prevent soggy crust, and explore creative toppings that turn a simple weeknight staple into something special.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Nostalgic comfort foods and how certain meals feel like a warm hug from childhood
  • We also want to hear about the food from childhood that makes you want to gag!
  • Comparing Italian bread versus traditional French bread for homemade pizza
  • The secret to avoiding a soggy crust: broiling the bread with garlic butter first and putting cheese under the sauce
  • Fun topping debates, including the verdict on if pineapple belongs on pizza
  • What happens when you cook the pizza bread at 350 degrees
  • Plus four elevated flavor combinations to take your French bread pizza way beyond basic pepperoni

Three Rules for Crispiness (No Soggy Bread!)

1. The Garlic Butter "Moisture Barrier": Before adding any sauce, slice your loaf lengthwise and brush the cut side with garlic-infused butter or olive oil, then toast it under the broiler or in a hot oven for 3–5 minutes until light golden. This seals the bread so the tomato sauce doesn't sink in and make it gummy.

2. Cheese First, Then Sauce: Sprinkle a thin layer of shredded mozzarella directly onto the toasted garlic butter, add your sauce, and top with more cheese. The bottom cheese layer creates an extra shield against moisture.

3. Press It Down slightly: Gently compress the soft interior of the cut bread with the back of a spoon before buttering. It creates a sturdy "boat" to hold heavy toppings.

Baking Method

Bake on a sheet pan at 425 degrees for 10–12 minutes until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly, then switch to the broiler for 1–2 minutes to get those glorious brown, blistered cheese spots.

Elevated Flavor Combinations (Beyond Basic Pepperoni)

1. The "Hot Honey & Spicy Soppressata"

Base: Garlic butter + classic marinara

Toppings: Shredded low-moisture mozzarella, spicy soppressata (or cup-and-char pepperoni), and fresh ricotta dollops

The Finish: Drizzle with hot honey and fresh basil immediately out of the oven.

2. The "White Pizza" Spinach & Artichoke

Base: Olive oil, minced garlic, and ricotta or blended cottage cheese

Toppings: Chopped marinated artichoke hearts, wilted spinach, shredded mozzarella, and grated parmesan

The Finish: A squeeze of fresh lemon juice and red pepper flakes.

3. The "BBQ Chicken & Red Onion"

Base: Smoky BBQ sauce mixed with a touch of marinara (keeps it from being overly sweet)

Toppings: Shredded rotisserie chicken, thin-sliced red onion, mozzarella, and smoked provolone

The Finish: Fresh cilantro or green onions after baking.

4. The "Sausage & Pickled Pepper" (The Savory Classic)

Base: Rich tomato paste cooked down with garlic, oregano, and olive oil

Toppings: Browned Italian sausage, sliced pickled peppadew or banana peppers, and mozzarella

The Finish: Grated pecorino romano.

Kabob marinade

Here are three excellent, punchy marinades that hit completely different flavor profiles. Each recipe makes enough for about 1.5 to 2 pounds of meat or seafood.

1. The Classic Steakhouse (Best for Beef & Mushrooms)

This gives you that rich, savory, umami-packed crust that makes grilled beef taste amazing.

The Mix:

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp coarsely cracked black pepper

Best cuts: Sirloin tip, New York strip, or flank steak cut into 1.5-inch cubes.

Marinating time: 2 to 6 hours.

2. Garlic, Lemon & Herb Souvlaki (Best for Chicken & Pork)

Bright, fresh, and deeply aromatic. The lemon juice helps tenderize the poultry, while the oregano gives it that classic Mediterranean street-food vibe.

The Mix:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Juice of 1 large lemon (about 3 tbsp)
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely minced or grated
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano (warm it between your palms as you add it to release the oils)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Best cuts: Boneless, skinless chicken thighs (they stay incredibly juicy on the grill) or pork loin cubes.

Marinating time: 1 to 4 hours. Don't go past 4 hours, or the lemon juice will start to break down the meat's texture.

3. Sweet & Tangy Honey Mustard (Best for Salmon, Shrimp, or Pork)

If you want something with a little bit of sweetness that caramelizes beautifully over open flames, this is a crowd-pleaser.

The Mix:

  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard (or half Dijon, half whole-grain for texture)
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for a tiny kick)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Best cuts: Thick-cut salmon cubes, extra-large shrimp, or even pork tenderloin.

Marinating time: 30 minutes for seafood; 1 to 2 hours for pork.

https://therecipewell.com/ground-turkey-stir-fry/

Shrimp Scampi with Asparagus on Udon Noodles

https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/shrimp-scampi-074951

Coconut Crunch Cake

You don’t need a formal recipe! You need a yellow cake mix, store bought canned vanilla icing and coconut flakes.

Make the cake according to the directions and let it cool. Then ice the cake and spread the coconut flakes on the top. Put the cake in the fridge for an hour or so before you enjoy it.

Simple Camping Recipes for Fire, Camp Stoves and RVs30 juin 202601:03:50

In this episode of Everyday Cooks Recipe Club, Stephanie shares tips, tricks and recipes for cooking during your camping trips. Whether you are cooking over an open campfire, need fast and efficient ideas for a portable camp stove or have the luxury of electricity and a small kitchen in a motorhome or RV, Stephanie has you covered.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • 9 recipes that work with an open fire or a camp stove
  • Ideas for getting the kids involved
  • Tips for prepping before you leave
  • Tips for what to bring for a smooth cooking experience
  • 5 recipes for cooking in the RV or Motorhome

Resources & Links

OPEN FIRE OR CAMP STOVE

Roasted Crescent Roll Hot Dog on a Stick

Ingredients:

  • Hot dogs
  • Crescent rolls or biscuit dough in a can
  • Roasting sticks for the fire
  • Open fire
  • Optional: ketchup, mustard, shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)

Instructions:

1. First boil hot dogs in water on a grill or camp stove. This step is optional because the hot dogs will cook over the fire.

2. Lay crescent or biscuit dough out and add any optional hot dog toppings

3. Wrap the dough around the hotdog in a spiral

4. Place the hot dog on the roasting stick all the way

5. Roast slowly over the hot coals for 8-10 min, rotating until golden

6. Let cool slightly before removing from the roasting stick and enjoy!

This is a big hit for campers of all ages!

Naan Pizza’s

These naan pizzas can be made either on an open campfire, on a camping grill, or in the air fryer.

Ingredients:

  • Naan
  • BBQ sauce or Pizza sauce
  • Pizza toppings: ham, pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, olives, PINEAPPLE)
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese or mozzarella mini balls

Instructions:

1. Lay out all the naan

2. Put a layer of BBQ or pizza sauce

3. Add your favorite toppings – everyone can make their own

4. Camp stove or open fire: use a grill, pizza stone, or a sheet pan to cook the naan pizzas.

Air fryer 350* for 7-9 min. Watch for cheese to melt

Campfire Shrimp Boil

By: SPaswaters and inspired by IG campinerin and Old Bay Seasoning

Ingredients

  • ½ stick butter
  • Red potatoes chopped into small pieces
  • Smoked sausage or kielbasa sausage
  • Red onion chopped
  • 3 lemons quartered and juiced
  • Cord – fresh or frozen cobs
  • Old bay seasoning
  • Raw shrimp
  • 1 beer or 8 oz water

Instructions

1. Chop the red potatoes, sausage, and onion then put into an deep aluminum baking pan

2. Cut the fresh corn in ½ or use frozen corn cobs and add to the baking pan

3. Sprinkle generously with Old Bay Seasoning

4. Quarter the lemons and squeeze the juice into the mixture. Place the lemons into mixture after.

5. Chop the ½ stick of butter into pats and place along on top of mixture

6. Add beer or water to steam and keep from burning

7. Cover tightly with aluminum foil

8. Bake over the coals for at least 30 min.

9. In a separate bowl mix shrimp and more Old Bay Seasoning

10. After 30 min, open foil (be careful it will be HOT) and poke potatoes, are they almost done? If so, add raw seasoned shrimp.

11. Add foil back tightly and cook for another 10 min.

12. Check by poking all the ingredients to see that they are cooked through and serve.

For added extra fun, bring along disposable plastic tablecloths (think dollar store), lay the tablecloth out and pour the whole shrimp boil out on the table for everyone to enjoy! Clean up is easy once everyone is done – just roll up the disposable tablecloth and toss!

Other ideas:

Cheeseburger Bites on a Stick

Similar to the hot dogs on a stick, take ground turkey and make mini hamburger balls and put a couple on the roasting stick. Cook over the fire 10 min, turning to ensure all sides are cooked thoroughly. Serve with all the burger fixins: lettuce, tomato, ketchup, cheese.

Also check out an earlier episode for our potato salad recipe, at the 29:45 mark.

Grilled Chicken Drumsticks

Instead of using BBQ sauce, try marinating your chicken with soy sauce, or teriyaki sauce for a different taste. If you don’t like drumsticks, this can also be made with chicken breasts or tenders. Served with roasted veggies on the side.

Jalapeno Poppers

Costco sells a tup Jalapeno Artichoke dip and mini sweet peppers. Cut the tops off the mini peppers, stuff with the dip, and grill over the coals for 10 min – this doesn’t take long at all. Then let them cool and enjoy!

Grilled Sausage and Peppers

I like to get the chicken apple sausage and grill these with sliced yellow and red peppers, and onions in a cast iron over the fire. This doesn’t take too long, maybe 15-20 min. When the mix is almost done, toast your buns over the fire, watch them so they don’t burn! Then serve the sausage and peppers and onion in the toasted bun. Also bring that jar of pepperoncini or banana peppers!

Baked Potatoes

Wrap your pre-washed and oiled potatoes in aluminum foil. You can prep this ahead of time and

bring the foiled potatoes in a Ziploc bag. Toss them on the grill or in the coals. Cook for about 60 minutes. Let cool and serve.

Grilled Watermelon and Peaches

What is camping without watermelon? Slice your watermelon into triangles; this works best if you can get an oblong watermelon and leave the rind on. That will come in handy later. Then place your watermelon, or even peach halves on a grill over the fire for a few minutes. Don’t forget to roast each side. Then serve w/ lime or lemon juice or Tajin. Oh, and that rind, that’s where you can hold the watermelon slice and no dishes!

Tips and Tricks:

  • Chop veggies and sides ahead of time.
  • Marinade your meat ahead of time.
  • Hard boil eggs ahead of time and peel them at home.
  • Pre-cook rice and bring for a side dish.
  • Don’t bring your whole seasoning jars, pack smaller amounts in containers.
  • Pre-cook meals that you can head over the fire. Freeze them and put them in an ice chest.
  • Foil packets are easy to make but can take a little longer to cook depending on the meat.
  • Bring a cast iron skillet/grill and proper cooking utensils to cook over the fire. Don’t use plastic.
  • Bring extra aluminum foil.
  • Bring extra snacks.
  • Extra disposable plastic tablecloths.

CAMPING WITH ACCESS TO ELECTRICITY

Slow-Cooker Meatballs: In a large slow cooker add 2-3 lbs. of frozen meatballs (turkey, beef, Italian) and over with a can of whole cranberry sauce and a jar of bbq sauce. Cook high 3 hours or low 6 hours. This gives you the softest and flavorful meatballs. Serve with pasta, rice, or on rolls.

Slow-Cooker Wings: In a large slow cooker add a bag of frozen pre-cooked buffalo wings. Either get the pre-seasoned wings, or add your own buffalo sauce, teriyaki sauce, or keep them plain. Cook high 3 hours or low 6 hours. This is easy and fun to have when there is a big group camping and it’s a potluck. Serve with potato salad.

Pre-made Taco Meat: This is an all time favorite for me. Make your taco meat at home and warm up in a microwave. Bring all the fixin’s and sit back and enjoy the great outdoors.

BBQ Chicken Sandwiches: This is easy to put some chicken in your crockpot, add a bottle of BBQ sauce, and cook on low for 6 hours. Go out and enjoy the camper life either fishing, hiking, off-roading and come back to your campsite and turn off the slow cooker. Shred your chicken and serve on soft warm buns and a bag of chips and a veggie tray!

Skillet Spinach – Artichoke Dip with Fire-roasted Sourdough Bread: Buy a tub of spinach artichoke dip or jalapeno artichoke dip at the store and bring a really good cast iron skillet. Either warm the dip up in the microwave and air fry the sour dough slices or toss it all outside on the fire or camp stove. Make sure to get the grill marks on the slices. Either way, this is an easy snack or dinner option and serve with a glass of wine!

Airfryer Ideas:

Tater Tots, hot dogs and brats (score them first), grilled cheese sandwiches

Bang Bang Shrimp handheld sandwich (air fry frozen breaded shrimp, then coat with bang bang shrimp sauce. Put lettuce or a bag of salad mix in the tortilla and fill it with shrimp.)

Bang Bang sauce recipe: ½ cup mayo or miracle whip, 2 tablespoons sweet Thai chili sauce, 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce, and 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar. Serves 5-6.

  • Slow cooker Chicken Tacos
  • Summer Potato Salad w/ Apples
  • Slow cooker Lasagna
  • Ribs in the slow cooker
  • French Toast Bake (bake ahead, warm in the microwave or air fryer)

Tips and Tricks:

  • Pre-cook some meals so you just can warm them up at camp
  • Buy Kevin’s or Factor meals ahead of time and bring
  • Pre-make pancake mix and bring it with you in a squeeze bottle. Cook in the RV or on a grill outside
  • Skewer bacon and cook on the grill, the fire, or in the...

Creamy Mashed Potatoes

Ingredients

4 lb. russet potatoes

3 cloves garlic (sp)

1 Tbsp. salt

4 Tbsp. butter, plus more for serving

1 Tbsp. sour cream

1/2 cup heavy cream, milk, or ½ & ½

Salt & pepper to taste

Finely chopped chives or green onions for garnish

Directions

Peel the potatoes, rinse them and cut them into 1- to 2-inch pieces. Add to a large pot and add enough water to cover all the potatoes. Heavily salt the water. Add 1 tablespoon salt. Add garlic cloves to water when boiling.

Place pot on your stove and turn to high. Bring to a boil and boil for 15 minutes, until potatoes are knife tender. Turn off heat and drain.

Use a potato ricer and rice cooked potatoes back into hot pot (that’s turned off). Leave the pot on the stove for at least 10 minutes, uncovered.

Add butter. Mash the potatoes to desired consistency. Add sour cream and mix. Add ½ & ½ and mix. Add more if you like creamier potatoes.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Add an extra pat of butter on top before serving. Garnish with green onions.

Mardi Gras + Lunar New Year = Lemongrass Marinated Pork Chop17 févr. 202600:31:47

This episode of Everyday Cooks Recipe Club publishes on February 17, 2026 which happens to be both Mardi Gras and the start of the Lunar New Year - the Year of the Fire Horse. Kelly and Stephanie thought a great way to celebrate this rare event is by revisiting a recipe from Nini Nguyen’s cookbook Dac Biet - lemongrass-marinated pork chops. Nini is based in New Orleans. Her cookbook is a special blend of flavorful, inspired Vietnamese and New Orleans cooking.

In this episode, we talk about:

  1. Starting a recipe club
  2. Why we chose this recipe
  3. What it was like shopping for fresh lemongrass and the other key ingredients
  4. How each of us prepared the pork chops (and where we improvised!)
  5. Our honest thoughts on flavor, texture, and whether it’s worth making again

If you’ve ever been curious about cooking with lemongrass or you’re just looking for a fresh twist on pork chops, you’ll want to cook along with us!

The full recipe can be found in Nini Nguyen’s cookbook Dac Biet. We highly recommend checking it out anywhere books are sold.

Back To The Crock Pot09 déc. 202500:41:00

In this episode of Everyday Cooks Recipe Club, Stephanie and Kelly go back to the crock pot to test another recipe.  This time they are making dinner.  

In this episode, we talk about:

  • 10 Crock Pot tips for the best experience
  • We review the Beef and Bean Chili recipe below 
  • Stephanie gives us a bonus idea of cooking a whole chicken in the crock pot
  • How each of us prepared the meal (and where we improvised!)
  • Our honest thoughts on flavor, texture, and whether it’s worth making again

Resources & Links

https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/slow_cooker_beef_and_bean_chili/

Here are crock pot tips for beginners:

  1. Don’t Overfill It - Aim to fill the crock pot ½ to ⅔ full. Overfilling can cause uneven cooking, and under-filling can make food cook too fast.
  2. Layer Ingredients Wisely - Heavier, tougher ingredients (like root vegetables and meats) should go on the bottom, closest to the heat source. Lighter ingredients go on top.
  3. Brown Meat for Better Flavor (Optional) - While you can throw raw meat straight in, searing it first adds richer flavor and better texture.
  4. Keep the Lid Closed - Every time you open the lid, you lose heat and add 15–30 minutes to the cooking time. Peek only when necessary.
  5. Use the Right Amount of Liquid - Crock pots don’t let moisture escape. Use less liquid than you would on the stove—usually 1 cup or less unless you’re making soup.
  6. Choose “Low and Slow” When Possible - Most dishes turn out more tender and flavorful when cooked on Low for 6–8 hours vs. High for 3–4 hours.
  7. Add Dairy and Fresh Herbs at the End - Milk, cream, cheese, and fresh herbs can curdle or lose flavor if cooked too long. Stir them in during the last 15–30 minutes.
  8. Use Cheaper Cuts of Meat - The slow cooker excels with budget-friendly cuts like chuck roast, pork shoulder, chicken thighs. They become super tender with long cooking.
  9. Prep Ahead to Save Time - Chop veggies, measure spices, or assemble entire freezer-to-crock-pot bags the night before for easy morning cooking.
  10. Clean Up Easily - Use crock pot liners or fill the pot with warm soapy water right after dinner to avoid stuck-on food.

Thanksgiving Leftover Meal Ideas25 nov. 202500:21:50

In this episode of Everyday Cooks Recipe Club, Stephanie and Kelly help you come up with ideas on how to breathe new life into your Thanksgiving dinner leftovers. Find out how to make your leftovers appealing again, after you have had that second or third plate and you don’t think you can do it again! 

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Two ways to make turkey pot pie
  • KFC inspired turkey bowls
  • A delicious ham and bean dish made in the Instant Pot 
  • A recipe for creamy ham and broccoli soup
  • A brainstorm on other uses for your leftover turkey

Resources & Links

Here is the soup recipe Kelly talks about in the episode, but she always doubles the recipe.  This is also one of those recipes that you can “eyeball” and you don’t need to strictly follow the quantities.  So make it how you want! 

Creamy Ham and Broccoli Soup

4 t butter

4 t flour

1 can chicken broth or stock

1 c chopped broccoli

2 T chopped onion

1 c chopped ham

⅛ tsp fresh thyme

¾ shredded swiss cheese

Chop your broccoli and ham and put to the side.  Prepare your thyme and swiss cheese if you didn’t buy shredded swiss cheese.  Melt your butter in a sauce pan and mix in the flour to incorporate.  Slowly stir in the chicken broth (or stock).  Bring to a boil (about 2 minutes).  Stir in broccoli and onion. Then add the ham.  Stir in the cream and thyme.  The last step is to stir in the swiss cheese.
