  • What is the Ultimate Mac & Cheese?

    What is the Ultimate Mac & Cheese?
    Apr 9 2026

    On this episode of The Recipe Box, we’re talking with local Spice Lady and owner of The JAY Effect, Yemisi Anderson, about mac and cheese.

    We dig into recipes from boxed and stovetop versions to indulgent baked dishes while exploring cheeses, techniques, seasoning blends, and creative add-ins that elevate this Midwest favorite.

    Alongside practical tips like shredding your own cheese and using cream cheese for extra creaminess, our conversation highlights how mac and cheese evokes family memories and brings people together at the table.

  • Yes, Ricotta is a Cheese! The Great Spanakopita Debacle

    Yes, Ricotta is a Cheese! The Great Spanakopita Debacle
    Mar 26 2026
    This week on The Recipe Box, April Summers calls in from Chicago to tell us about one of the most memorable food moments when she made spanakopita to impress a crush, told a little white lie about the ricotta, and, well... things did not go as planned. Giggles ensued, and what follows is a heartfelt conversation about how cooking can be its own kind of love language. From the Recipe Box of April Summers Spanakopita

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound frozen chopped spinach, defrosted but not drained
    • 1 cup ricotta cheese
    • 1 cup feta cheese
    • 2 eggs
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon pepper
    • 1 teaspoon dry or 1 tablespoon fresh dill
    • 1 teaspoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice
    • 1 box (1 lound) phyllo dough, chilled but not frozen
    • 1½ sticks unsalted butter, melted

    Directions

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Mix the spinach, cheeses, eggs, spices, herbs, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Set aside. Use parchment paper to line a 9-by-13-inch pan. Alternatively, you can use butter to grease the pan.

    Begin to lay the sheets of phyllo dough in the pan. Use one layer at a time and brush lightly with melted butter between layers. If the dough begins to dry out while you work with it, cover it with a slightly damp kitchen towel or paper towel. Once half of the phyllo dough is in the pan, add half of the cheese mixture. Then layer the remaining half of the dough in the same manner. Bake until crispy and brown – 45-55 minutes. Enjoy!
