A few weeks ago, we asked you to help us create a cooking soundtrack as part of this month’s Make Your Own Meals challenge. We got a bunch of awesome suggestions—mostly upbeat jams to help turn your kitchen into a party zone. We chose our favorite recommendations and compiled them as GOOD’s “Make Your Own Meals” Playlist.

Make Your Own Meals: Use Fresh Herbs
Herbs often get left off of shopping lists because they seem nonessential or complicated (“I bought these chocolate mint leaves, now what the heck do I do with them?”). On top of that, herbs can wilt quickly without special attention. But remember, these botanicals pack a ton of flavor and, in some cases, even have healing properties.
Today’s challenge is to seek out a specialty market you’ve never been to and hit the shopping aisles. You surely already know that vibrant immigrant communities offer some of the best neighborhood restaurants and food carts around. But it doesn’t end there.

For today’s challenge, we’re going to craft the best meal we can using only groceries procured from a nearby convenience store.
Today’s challenge is to recreate, at home, a meal that you love to order at a restaurant.
This month, GOOD Maker is partnering with Eat For Equity to present the Share a GOOD Recipe challenge.

The best weapon against a mundane PB&J lunch is a fridge stocked with prepared salad ingredients. … Keep big batches of beans and grains on hand that can be used in lunches and dinners throughout the week.
Brunch is a great way to celebrate the weekend. So invite a few friends over and serve up something tasty. Here’s one idea for a 30-minute breakfast bowl.
Today’s task is a fun one: Compile a cooking soundtrack that rocks. What songs inspire you in the kitchen? Make a music mix to listen to while you work, then pick your absolute favorite cooking jam and submit it in the comments section of this post. GOOD will use the best suggestions submitted between now and June 27 to create GOOD’s Make Your Own Meals Playlist.
