Burgers Of The Future (Cow Not Included) : NPR One. 21 Simple One-Pot Pastas. Creamy Avocado Pasta with Garlic Scape Pesto. Have you ever tried cooking with garlic scapes? They’re the beautiful, tentacle-shaped flower stems of the garlic plant and they pack a strong flavor punch. I was a bit thrown off by them at first because they can be tough and fibrous. But a little experimentation was all I needed to become a fan. Garlic scapes are wonderful when sliced thin and sautéed with vegetables. They also make an excellent base for pesto. This pesto is very strong by itself, which is why I like to combine a few tablespoons with an avocado to create a creamy pasta sauce. The avocado softens the intensity of the garlic flavor and creates a smooth coating for pasta. Creamy Avocado Pasta with Garlic Scape Pesto Author: Jennifer Farley Serves: 8 servings Ingredients garlic scape pesto 1 cup chopped garlic scapes ¼ cup fresh mint 2 tablespoons fresh basil ½ cup packed arugula ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt ¼ cup toasted pine nuts ½ cup pecorino romano or parmesan cheese ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil for the pasta Instructions Notes.
Creamy Avocado Pasta. I never liked avocados – until, as a vegetarian, I discovered cheese and avocado sandwiches. Now I find ways to use them in everything. Combining two of my (now) favorites, pasta and avocados, this 15 minute Creamy Avocado Pasta from Oh She Glows was a perfect Thursday evening dinner. Not only was it quick and healthy, but it was a great way to use the avocados I bought on sale. They all ripened at the same time, so I doubled the recipe to use them all before they spoiled. I added five garlic cloves, which if you’re not a fan of garlic, I would definitely adhere to Angela’s advice from Oh She Glows and use only one clove.
I invited my neighbor to join me for dinner and the first thing she asked was, “What’s spicy?” I didn’t have fresh basil on hand, so I substituted for dried, but I would definitely recommend using fresh. The only drawback is, because of the avocado, this dish doesn’t reheat well and needs to be served immediately. It would be a perfect light summer dish. Serves 2. Cilantro Rice with Corn, Black Beans, and Avocados. Over the years, I have taught myself how to like cilantro. I remember the first time I had it; it tasted like soap to me. Slowly, I started introducing it into my meals at restaurants. My favorite is the cilantro rice at Chipotle. I thought corn would compliment the cilantro rice well and add in some black beans and avocado to make it a complete meal (and a complete protein). Squeeze some lime on top to brighten it up. This is my way to feature fresh summer corn.Ingredients: 1 cup long grain rice 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth (or veggie or water) 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 ears of corn 3-4 stalks green onions, chopped 1 can of black beans, rinsed 1/2 bunch of cilantro, stemmed and chopped fine Adobo seasoning (optional), salt and pepper to taste 1 avocado, chopped medium 1-2 limes cut into wedges Directions: Cook rice according to package instructions in broth.
In a large sauce pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. -Erin Swing The Sensitive Epicure. Mango-habanero guacamole | delicious by dre. Cinco de mayo. i was reminded of this fine excuse to indulge myself in delicious mexican food when i saw a corona commercial the other day. i’ll admit, corona’s marketing department does a phenomenal job seducing you with the whole festive beach vibe. i mean, they really made me want to celebrate a holiday that i have no specific reason to celebrate! (lucky for you,) i caved… while i didn’t go out and buy a case of cervezas, i sure did strategically plan my “cheat-meal” for the week! I’m in the middle of preparing for a national bikini fitness competition…so my diet is pretty strict right now. but let me just clarify, by strict, i do not mean bland or boring at all! (seriously, have you tried my turkey lettuce wraps!?!) When i say strict, i have a certain number of proteins/carbs/fats that i have to take in for each meal. so, i saved this incredibly delicious idea for a night i didn’t have to weigh out each tablespoon of guac i shoveled into my mouth!

If you're anything like us, you would eat a lot more beets, pomegranates, and kiwis if you could just figure out an easy way to prep them. Luckily, some of our favorite food blogs have come up with pretty ingenious ways to simplify the process. Take a look, then try these tricks for yourself: Mandarin Oranges "I love how peeling an orange gives me sticky hands," said no one, ever.
Which is why we're obsessed with this mess-free method from JewelPie. Just use a paring knife to slice off either end, cut a slit in the orange peel, and roll the whole thing out in a strip. We can't say for sure if this method works with other varieties of oranges, but you can bet we're going to try it.

Spoiler Alert. Fresher food labels Gregory Reid How many times have you warily eyed a milk carton’s sell-by date, sniffed its contents, and then, with a shrug, tossed it in the trash? When in doubt, the saying goes, throw it out.
And sure enough, every year, about 40 percent of all food in the U.S. goes uneaten; a typical four-person household discards roughly $1,500 worth. It’s not just our wallets that are hurting, though: between the energy that’s used growing and transporting crops and the methane gas released by rotting food in landfills, food waste is responsible for emitting the equivalent of 3.5 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide annually. If food waste were a country, it’d be the third-largest greenhouse-gas emitter on the planet, after China and the U.S. A number of possible fixes are in the works. A Scottish company called Insignia Technologies has created a series of “smart labels” (pictured), temperature-sensitive timers that indicate an item’s freshness.

Holey bread tips — Do you need to knead? :: by Hank Sawtelle. I just heard Mark Bittman on [KCRW’s weekly radio show] “Good Food” talking about a no-knead bread that’s very good. Can you tell me whether to knead or not to knead? How does bread get those holes in it anyway? Why is the crust crusty, but not the entire loaf? — Michael H., Los Angeles, California I will tackle this question despite my suspicion that you are just trying to bait me into one or more “need/knead”-based puns.
Kneading — manual manipulation of dough — develops a bread’s structure by aligning the strands of gluten and encouraging them to bond together to form a supporting structure for the bread. But as Bittman explained, kneading is not strictly necessary for good bread. Hank’s bread, with a crisp crust and an open crumb. The no-knead bread “trick” popularized by Bittman (adapted from Jim Lahey of the Sullivan Street Bakery in New York) is to mix a very wet dough with a very small amount of yeast, and to let it ferment for a long time — like, 24 hours.
Garden Fresh: Best 5 Homemade Salsas. Provence-Inspired Recipes for Health. Andrew Scrivani for The New York Times If you can’t spend your summer in Provence, you can at least capture the flavors of a summer meal. This week Martha Rose Shulman offers five new recipes with a Provençal flair. She writes: Last month I had a reunion in Provence with friends who discovered this magical region of France with me more than 30 years ago. It was a true southern French vacation – we relaxed, we went to the market, we cooked. Here are five new recipes using the flavors of Provence. Farro Salad With Tomatoes and Romano Beans: A variety of wheat berry called petit épeautre is one of the traditional grains in the inland Provençal regions. Elizabeth’s Braised Leeks With Parmesan: The sophisticated flavors and textures that this dish offers may convert those who think they don’t like leeks.
Sabine’s Stuffed Zucchini Flowers: This herbed zucchini mixture is also good for stuffing tomatoes. The Chinese Soup Lady & Chinese Soup Recipes » Pregnancy. Home » Pregnancy Many readers have asked and suggested we extend our Soups for Children and Confinement Soups section to include a unique (but temporary) group of individuals – the expectant mother. In Chinese traditions, it is commonly known that the first three months of pregnancy are the most critical. I think western medicine will echo this too because the baby is just beginning to develop most of the critical pieces and there can be lots of instability. You will too often hear people announce their pregnancy after the 3 month incubation period is over and be cautious of what they eat. Here is a straight forward guide and list of soups safe to consume during pregnancy.
The basic concept of the Chinese soups is that none of them are extremely cooling, healing or potent in herbal additives. Enjoy! In general, I would recommend fish soups.
Slutty Brownies. Now I don’t want to over sell this, so I’m going to be conservative and simply say, that these are… The Best Brownies In The WORLD. I know, big statement. They’re called Slutty Brownies because they’re oh so easy, and more than a little bit filthy. They’re best served warm from the oven, with good quality vanilla ice cream (devastatingly I didn’t have any in the freezer this time, so I guess I’ll just have to make them again).
They take about 45mins to make, including baking time. The ultimate comfort food, whipped up within the hour. You will need… 1 Box of cookie mix, 1 Box of brownie mix, 2 Eggs, 2 Packs of Oreos (double stuffed ones are even better if you can find them) Some oil & your favourite ice-cream (optional) Preheat your oven to 350F, 180C, gas mark 4. Line a baking tray with grease proof paper. Squidge (technical term) the cookie dough into a lined baking tray, until it covers the bottom.
Cover this layer with your Oreos. Mix up your brownie batter. & pour over your Oreos. Bake for 30mins.
