When this discovery led to the creation of large surpluses, however, the excess corn traveled to ranches. And when ranchers discovered how quickly cows could grow on a corn-based diet, they moved cows from the pastures into feedlots and fed them this energy-packed grain....

Upon returning from NYC, I headed straight to Lowe’s to purchase a blowtorch and a one-pound tank of propane gas. On my way home, I stopped at the Co-op for Fluff and a pint of dulce de leche ice cream. Lest you worry I’m embarking on some sort of dark, emotional journey, let me remind you about that sundae my friend and I split at Ichabod’s a few weeks ago: homemade vanilla ice cream, pretzel bits, salted caramel, bruléed marshmallow....

The little treasure disappeared quickly, but I played my favorite game—guess what’s in it!—even so, identifying coconut, lemon, and dates. When I got stumped, Martha filled in the blanks: ginger, vanilla, and coconut manna, also known as coconut butter, an ingredient I had never before used. Coconut butter was new to Martha as well, but after spotting the recipe for these “lemon pie” date balls in The Autoimmune Wellness Handbook, she made the trek to Honest Weight Food Co-op for the manna and hasn’t looked back since....

Spring has always been associated with greenery- from the lush green grass fields to the delicious, healthy green salads.

It’s a classic combination for good reason: it works. The bitterness of the chicories softens under the heat of the pan and is further tempered by the sweet-sharp balsamic vinegar; the subtle kick from the chile oil adds another dimension and balance of flavor. Its deliciousness should be no surprise, but still, I found myself taken by this dish, by its simplicity. I love the contrast of textures, how the radicchio melts while the endive remains crisp, caramelizing ever so slightly at the edges....
Oiy. In this season of vegetable bounty, there is no excuse. I immediately set to work making a pasta sauce — sauce counts as a vegetable, right? — I learned years ago from The Tra Vigne Cookbook, a recipe Michael Chiarello learned from Jacques Pèpin. In the book, Chiarello pairs the sauce with stuffed chicken thighs and notes that any leftover sauce can be used to poach fish roulades, no doubt a suggestion made by Pèpin....
Last fall, one of you — Michael, from Ireland — emailed me asking if I had ever come across a bread recipe that “includes porridge oats or what you might call oatflakes?” He noted: “It has been a traditional way of making bread here in Ireland.” Attached to the email were several recipes for “brown bread” as well as a simplified version of one Michael said his teenage son bakes regularly....

It’s common this time of year to see recipes starring artichokes, which always sound and look so appealing, but which I just can’t get myself to make....
It was simple, too: good tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce, good crispy pita bread, a simple dressing, a drizzle of pomegranate molasses, and a sprinkling of za’atar. I remember thinking: I could live on this salad. The version featured here is not Liliane’s, but it includes many of the same elements. I bought the pita and pomegranate molasses from Nora’s Grocery in Albany, a spot Liliane has been encouraging me to visit for years....
Delicious, healthy, and filling cutlets that can be eaten for breakfast or as a light evening snack.
