Each week we round up our favorite posts and recipes from our friends at The Kitchn.

This week, the Kitchn stirs upa homemade version of the after-school classic strawberry milk.

Also on the Kitchn:

• Banana Bread Croutons: How do you repurpose the most embarrassing loaf of dense, practically inedible banana bread? Croutonify it.
• Sweet Potatoes Braised with Rosemary & Milk: The tender orange slices are infused with garlic and rosemary, then coated in a sticky, garlicky sauce of reduced milk.
• Sniff Test vs. Expiration Date: Which One to Trust? Consuming food after its expiration date won't usually make you sick, but the manufacturer has determined that it's not quite as optimally pretty or tasty.
• Product Review: MiO Liquid Water Enhancer: Most artificially flavored waters leave behind some overly sweet or fake taste that makes them off-putting but the Kitchn was pleasantly surprised by this one.
