We partnered with Food Should Taste Good to share our favorite recipes to pair with your weekend adventures (and a playlist to take along, too). Today, it's comfort food—which means starting with a pot of melty cheese.
Friday night means it's time to get wild. And by wild, we mean turning on some music, loud, and heading into the kitchen to cook away the work week's stress. Sure, you could go out (or order takeout), but comfort food is better with a little bit of love and a few friends.
Start off with fondue because "molten cheese" has got to be one of the happiest combinations of words ever. Then try to save room—we know, it's difficult—for impossibly crispy chicken thighs with lemon, spaghetti with bacon and cream, and milkshakes. Here's the full menu:
- Traditional Fondue Fribourgeois—Legendary and Original by rabino
- Canal House's Chicken Thighs with Lemons by Genius Recipes
- Spaghetti with Fantasy Sauce by Posie Harwood
- Hothouse Cooler by Kendra Vaculin
- Roasted Strawberry Milkshake with Buttermilk and Mint by Kenzi Wilbur
- Nutella Popcorn Puppy Chow by Kendra Vaculin
And here's what you should listen to while you're melting cheese, prepping vegetables, and uncorking the wine:
