Fun app helps home cooks find new recipes and has a thriving community

See what's cooking with this new app

By Lindsay Parrill February 19, 2023

Most of us have at least a few recipes saved somewhere on our phones or tablets. As we peruse social media and the plethora of YouTubers, Instagram influencers, and our favorite bloggers urging us to try this or that new dish or cooking technique, it’s hard not to have established a considerable collection of digital recipes.

Part of the joy in collecting these recipes is sharing them with friends and family when you’ve found a winner. Years ago, apps like Pinterest and Facebook helped us do that to an extent, but, if we’re honest, those sites are pretty dated and limited when it comes to recipe sharing.

Thankfully, there’s a new recipe app in town. One that will help you save all of those tempting recipes, share them with your friends, and even assist you with things like grocery shopping and keeping your screen from going dark while you’re trying to cook.

Spillt / Facebook

Sisters and founders of Spillt, Maddy and Ann, created the clever app in the early days of COVID. The two were living together with their mother and, like everyone in those days, found themselves cooking…a lot. It didn’t take long for them to realize the need for an easy, updated, fun way to share recipes with each other and with their friends. And thus, Spillt was born.

Spillt is essentially a recipe collection app that doubles as a social media site. When you use Spillt, you can save all of your recipes in one convenient spot, share them with your friends and family, and see what everyone else is cooking at the same time. You can even follow all of your favorite food bloggers, so you never miss a new recipe post.

So if you’re looking for a great way to store and share all of those recipes you’ve got haphazardly spilled throughout your phone, it’s time to download Spillt.

This is the original bloody mary recipe from The St. Regis New York

The original Bloody Mary recipe is here

Red snapper

Not surprisingly, January 1st was National Bloody Mary Day. It makes sense because day-after revelers from Santa Monica to St. Petersburg were trying to manage a likely colossal hangover. Mixing Champagne, cocktails, beer, and red wine tends to do that. But, while this iconic drink has its very own holiday, we celebrate it on the other 364 (non-Leap-Year) days. It’s savory, spicy, boozy, and hits right at brunch or breakfast, even if we didn’t “tie one on” the night before.

To a beginner, it might seem like an elaborate drink. But it’s quite simple when you break it down. At its base level, it’s just vodka, salt, pepper, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and a lot of tomato juice. You can make it your own by adding horseradish and other spices. But don’t forget the iconic celery stick (or piece of bacon) garnish.

In the South, chicken fried steak is a beloved recipe, and common at restaurants and home kitchens.

Country fried steak vs. chicken fried steak
Many historians trace the origins of chicken fried steak to German immigrants in the 19th century. When these immigrants came to the South, they brought with them Wienerschnitzel, a breaded pork or veal cutlet pan-fried in butter. The phrase "chicken fried steak" appeared as early as 1914 in ads for the Phelp's Dining Room and Cafeteria in the Colorado Springs Gazette.
