PEEPS-INFUSED VODKA: Drop 10 Peeps (for best results, use just 1 color) in a large glass jar or pitcher. Pour in 1 (750-milliliter) bottle of vodka. Cover and chill until vodka is tinted and Peeps are partly dissolved, at least 3 hours and up to 3 days. Strain out marshmallow pieces. Store, covered, in fridge or freezer. Serve as shots or use as a tinted, marshmallowy base for a vodka cocktail. (We’re fans of the Lemon Drop: Just shake 4 ounces fresh lemon juice, 2 ounces yellow Peeps-infused vodka, and 1 teaspoon superfine sugar in a shaker with ice, then strain into a chilled martini glass.) S’MORES SKILLET FONDUE: Cover the bottom of a greased oven-safe skillet with chocolate chips, top with a layer of bunny or chick Peeps, and…

Fiona is almost 5 years old, and she has quite the personality. She is a big (62 pounds!) sassy-pants. She loves chew toys and will, within a few minutes, remove the stuffing and squeaker out of any toy you give her. She loves to eat anything— including shoes and socks. Her good looks must come from all the beauty sleep she gets; she is quite the snorer. She enjoys looking out the window— any window will do—for hours at a time. She’s a very stubborn girl and likes things her way, but at the same time she’s the sweetest furry ball of love! I love her to pieces. She’s my shadow and companion. VERONICAB “Fiona LOVES belly rubs. Anytime anyone comes within a few feet of her, she automatically…

Recent studies suggest that 28 percent of seafood sold in the U.S., including about 18 percent of what’s sold at grocery stores, is mislabeled. For example: Cheap tilapia sometimes fronts as more expensive red snapper. (Once fish are filleted, it can be hard to distinguish one kind from another.) Unless you’re allergic to hidden ingredients, most fraudulent food is harmful more to your wallet than your health. It usually involves cheaper ingredients labeled as pricier goods. Japanese Kobe beef is almost always a fraud on U.S. menus—it was banned for years to prevent an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in Japan from reaching U.S. shores, and few American eateries carry the real deal. Fraudsters target everyday products, too, dyeing apple juice to look like pricier fruit juices or stretching olive oil…

First, you gotta have a good pastry recipe. Second, you gotta have good berries! If they’re tiny and sweet, halve the flour-sugarcornstarch mixture.” FRESHHARVEST “Helpful hint: Chill this pie overnight. It tastes great the next day!” COOKINGCUTIE “Taste your strawberries to determine how sweet they are.

They air-dry more quickly than either and are durable enough to go in the washing machine. Plus, they’re available in a whole host of cheery patterns, with colors that stay vibrant wash after wash.…

Like other brassicas, radishes contain nutrients that support liver and kidney health, ease digestion, and reduce water retention. They’re a good source of vitamin C, the antioxidant essential for collagen formation, as well as the minerals silicon and sulfur, which support healthy skin, hair, nails, bones, and connective tissues. Fermented radish root (often listed on labels as leuconostoc or radish root ferment) is a natural preservative used in many organic beauty products. Whole, freshly picked radishes pack more nutrients and often a spicier flavor than precut, packaged varieties. And the green tops provide even more vitamin C per serving than the roots! For a self-contained salad, toss thinly sliced radishes and their tender greens with a light dressing. You can chop and roast them to bring out their sweetness. Or…

The Food Recovery Network, for example, was started in 2011 by a group of University of Maryland students who wanted to change the way their dining halls disposed of leftover food. Now they have more than 200 chapters in 44 states— and a record of recovering and redistributing more than 1.7 million pounds of food to local charities. Some food rescuers go straight to fields and orchards to pick up produce that is too small, underripe, or difficult for large machinery to harvest. In Boulder, Colorado, Community Fruit Rescue harvests surplus produce from public and private fruit trees and distributes it to shelters and soup kitchens. Pittsburgh’s 412 Food Rescue takes several approaches, including collecting stale bread from a local bakery so it can be used to make beer. Others…

Invented as a way to preserve fresh milk, kefir is made by soaking kefir “grains” (little blobs of a particular combination of yeast and bacteria) in milk. The result is a beverage that’s thicker than milk, thinner than yogurt, slightly sour, and slightly yeasty. It’s low in lactose and rich in calcium, protein, essential amino acids, B vitamins, and the kinds of “good” bacteria that aid digestion and promote gut health. It also may contain a trace of alcohol and usually is mildly effervescent—one reason it’s sometimes called the Champagne of milks. Much of the kefir you’ll find in stores is sweetened, flavored with fruit, and described on labels as a “cultured milk smoothie” or “probiotic smoothie.” You can also buy plain kefir—or purchase kefir grains and milk and make…

Line a baking sheet and your work surface with parchment paper. From a 17.5-ounce package of cinnamon rolls with glaze (Trader Joe’s brand works well for this project), unroll 1 roll and cut it in half crosswise. (If younger kids are pitching in, they can do this with a butter knife.) Re-roll one of the halves to form the body, angling the end of the roll slightly out and downward for the bunny’s front leg. 2. Cut one-third of the dough from the remaining half and roll it up to form the tail. Partly roll up the remaining dough to form the head, and slit the end piece in half…

Let’s just say there was one semester back in high school when you were a little naughty. Your grades—and yeah, maybe your behavior—weren’t what they should have been. But let’s also say that in all your other semesters, you had solid As and Bs. Now let’s imagine that when you’re an adult, all people ever think about when they see you is that one less-than-stellar semester. And as a result, people can’t see all the good you have to offer. So. Not. Cool. OK, now let’s say you’re a food. Researchers discover something about you that isn’t nutritionally perfect. That one thing keeps people from seeing all the good you have to offer. So. Not. Cool. Sadly, a whole lot of great, healthful foods are saddled with bad reputations. No…

Come dinnertime, I need all the help I can get. As I’m corralling the kids, helping with homework, and putting away the piles of stuff (piles!) that materialize every day, getting home-cooked food on the table can feel daunting. Who has time to chop veggies, shred cheese, and make homemade sauces? Well, actually, I do—thanks to Betty, my food processor. Now, I realize it might sound nuts to name a countertop appliance, but I use my machine to shave my prep time, streamline recipes, and knock out from-scratch meals nearly every evening. And anybody who helps you out that much deserves a name, right? Whenever a recipe calls for chopping, shredding, grating, slicing, puréeing, or mixing, I call on Betty. If I’m making a soup, stew, sauce, or gratin, I…

PART THREE You might guess that, for vegans like me, “meat” is something of a dirty word. But meat didn’t always refer only to animals. It used to mean just “food.” In my cooking, I like to think of meat not as animal or vegetable but as the heart of the meal: the part that satisfies, the part that matters most. Everyone craves something filling, substantial, and, well…meaty, right? When I started eating vegan more than two decades ago, there weren’t a lot of ready-to-eat vegan “meats” on supermarket shelves. That’s probably a good thing. It forced me to discover and experiment with legumes. Popular legumes like soybeans (and the tofu that’s made from them), chickpeas, and lentils are high in protein and calcium, delicious, versatile, and affordable— reasons they’re…

Though tequila and mezcal are made from the same kind of plant, they taste very different: Tequila is made from only blue agave, but mezcal can be made from dozens of agave varieties, giving it a more complex flavor. The agave hearts (piñas) are typically steamed for tequila; for mezcal they’re wood-roasted, which is how it gets its signature smoky flavor. BRAND-NEW RECIPE!
