Welcome to Everyday Cooks Recipe Club—a fun, no-pressure cooking podcast for home cooks of all levels who love discovering easy recipes, helpful kitchen tips, and the occasional hilarious cooking mishap. We’re Kelly and Stephanie, two friends who started a cooking club to make our dinners more exciting and now we’re inviting you to pull up a chair and join us. Here’s the deal: Every month, one of us picks a recipe. It could be a cozy family favorite, a new dish we’ve never tried, or something that pushes us out of our comfort zone. We each make it in our own kitchens, navigating grocery shopping adventures, ingredient swaps, and plenty of “learning moments” along the way. Then we get together to dish on: ~Why we chose it ~How the shopping went ~The steps that made us cheer, laugh, or groan ~The tweaks we’d try next time ~Whether it’s destined to become a weeknight staple or a one-time experiment That’s our main monthly episode, a recipe deep dive with real talk about what worked and what didn’t. The rest of the month, you’ll get short and snackable episodes filled with quick meal ideas, time-saving cooking tips, kitchen gadget finds, and simple recipes you can make anytime. Think of them as the side dishes to our main course. If you’re looking for a home cooking podcast that feels more like chatting with friends in the kitchen than watching a polished cooking show, you’re in the right place. We believe great food doesn’t have to be complicated, mistakes make the best stories, and every home cook deserves a little club of their own. So grab your spatula, pour yourself something tasty, and hit play. Welcome to Everyday Cooks Recipe Club where we’re sharing recipes, tips, and laughs one month at a time, with plenty of delicious detours along the way.Copyright 2026 Kelly Smith Art Cooking Food & Wine

Chop the ½ stick of butter into pats and place along on top of mixture6. Add beer or water to steam and keep from burning7. Cover tightly with aluminum foil8. Bake over the coals for at least 30 min.9. In a separate bowl mix shrimp and more Old Bay Seasoning10. 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 StickSimilar 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.https://everyday-cooks-recipe.captivate.fm/episode/5-quick-summer-recipesGrilled Chicken DrumsticksInstead 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 PoppersCostco 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 PeppersI 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 PotatoesWrap your pre-washed and oiled potatoes in aluminum foil. You can prep this ahead of time andbring 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 PeachesWhat is camping without watermelon?...
