Innholdsfortegnelse for October/November 2018 i Allrecipes

I know it’s October, but recipe searches on Allrecipes.com are on the rise for all things Thanksgiving, so I know it’s on your mind. If you’re up for a new menu item, check the recipe index on page 8 to find easy appetizers and sides, as well as desserts with a secret splash. We spent a lot of time planning our Thanksgiving menu for you this year. Food waste is a topic on the minds of many, and it seems appropriate at a time of year when we express gratitude to focus on minimizing or eliminating waste instead of generating a lot of excess food. Our senior editor, Nichole, and Juli, our culinary guru, joined forces to create a menu that makes the most of every ingredient and delivers…

Mushrooms are hot both as ingredients and inspiration for beauty products in 2018. And with good reason: Many have the power to soothe and strengthen skin, not to mention immune-boosting properties that help you glow all winter long. Some 2,000 varieties of mushrooms exist, ranging from those you weed out of your lawn to wild-foraged white truffles that command thousands of dollars per pound. But only about 25 varieties are commonly eaten. Edible mushrooms—with names like chanterelle, maitake, shiitake, enoki, reishi, cremini, and portobello—contain key beauty nutrients, one reason you’ll see them listed not just on menus but also among the ingredients on skin-care products and beauty supplements. Some mushrooms are rich in vitamin D, which regulates the skin’s antimicrobial defenses, is essential for energy and immunity, and is…

ALSO KNOWN AS: Tori Geib, 32, Bellefontaine, Ohio FAVORITE THINGS TO COOK: I like to take classics and remix them with new and fun flavors. Also anything with caramel. BEST ADVICE I EVER GOT: Self-care is the most important thing you can do for yourself or anyone else. You can’t pour from an empty cup. RECENT STORY: Two years ago, I was a chef at the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center when I found a lump in my breast. I soon learned it was breast cancer, and that it had metastasized to other parts of my body. DAY JOBS: Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) advocate, both independently and through organizations such as Living Beyond Breast Cancer and METAvivor. I push for more research and a better quality of life for…

47% The amount of added sugars in our diet coming from sugar-sweetened drinks like soda, fruit drinks, or beverages marketed as sports or energy drinks. By law, nutrition labels must list how much sugar products contain. But that doesn’t tell you how much is added sugar, the amount beyond what’s naturally found in foods such as fruit and dairy. For example, a glass of milk has 12 grams of sugar, but it’s all from naturally occurring lactose. Added sugars are everywhere, some in obvious places like cookies and candy, others in less-obvious places like condiments, sports drinks, energy bars, crackers, and breads. They provide sweet flavor, increase shelf life, and help with fermentation and leavening. But they also may play a part in why we become insulin-resistant, struggle to…

IT’S ECO-AND BUDGET-FRIENDLY, SURE, BUT IT’S ALSO ABOUT FLAVOR & CARE. Good cooks have long known that turkey necks and giblets make for tasty gravy and stuffing. That vegetable trimmings and herb stems make flavorful stock. That heels and cubes of stale bread make the best dressing. Using food wisely means not only that less ends up in a landfill, but also that more people can gather at your table. And there’s perhaps no greater tribute to good ingredients and the people who produce them than to use and enjoy every last morsel. With that in mind, each of the recipes we chose and adapted for this holiday meal uses whole ingredients (stems, peels, bones, bits, and all) wherever possible—if not in their showcase dish, then in an easy…

“Lilly was an anniversary gift from my husband 10 years ago. We originally got her to be a companion to one of our other dogs. Lilly is a sweetheart who loves people, and, although she likes to wrestle with one of our cats, is always polite to houseguests. When she meets new people, Lilly never barks or runs around. She just sits patiently at a distance until our other dog finishes her spastic greeting. When there’s finally a lull in the excitement, Lilly trots over to say hello and welcome our guests.” —Lee Ann Gray (aka Lucky Noodles) It’s become a Thanksgiving tradition at the Gray house to hoist Lilly up to inspect the turkey before everyone sits down to eat. “Luckily,” Lee Ann says, “she always gives…

In addition to buying less and shopping a bit more frequently, organizing your fridge smartly can help you avoid the weekly fridge-to-trash purge. Here’s how. ■ Move eggs, milk, and other dairy items to the coldest spot (typically in the main compartment, NOT the door) so they’ll last longer. Store condiments and nondairy beverages in the door. ■ Use clear containers or bags for fruit and vegetables so you can see (and be prompted to use) them before they go bad. Add a paper towel to containers of cut-up vegetables to help absorb excess moisture and prolong their fridge life. ■ Store fresh bundles of herbs upright in a loosely covered jar or glass with their stems in water. ■ Designate “edible scraps” bags or containers for fruit and…
