Meatless Monday is one thing, but how do you load up on veggies the rest of the week? Without going full vegetarian, it’s actually quite simple to pile on the good stuff and still embrace your inner omnivore, especially this time of the year when great produce is abundant. We compiled 20 of our favorite summer dinners that bring vegetables to the center of the plate. Some are meatless, while others tuck in meat and fish here and there but still make veggies the focus. They are suppers you’re sure to feel good about serving to your family this season. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/06/27/20-ways-to-make-dinner-with-mostly-vegetables-recipes-from-the-kitchn/

From Apartment Therapy → How To Clean Burnt Pots & Scorched Pans via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/06/27/how-to-clean-completely-burnt-pots-and-scorched-pans-apartment-therapy/ This spring was finally going to be the spring I got a fire pit. I’ve wanted one for a very long time (fire pits are awesome!) and my husband and I had saved up the necessary funds. We found a landscaper (hi, Sam!) through word of mouth and met with him to make a plan. I know, we could have just bought a premade fire pit from Home Depot, put some chairs around it, and called it a (much less expensive) day. But our yard is actually pretty buggy and slanty, so we wanted to carve out an official area for a patio and the fire pit. I wanted a space off to the side that would be private (a lot of our yard can be seen from the road) and give us an awesome place to hang out — and make s’mores! — with friends late into the summer nights. “How hard could it be?” I stupidly asked. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/06/27/2-things-i-learned-while-building-a-fire-pit-in-my-backyard-around-the-fire-pit/ As soon as those ears of sweet corn hit the market, take a night to enjoy them as they are, piping-hot with lots of butter. Then immediately move onto this warm and creamy corn casserole, because it is the most irresistible way to use up a few ears of sweet corn. It’s cheesy and indulgent, although the mix of tender kernels of corn, veggies, fresh herbs, and a pop of heat keep it in check so it’s not too heavy for summer. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/06/27/recipe-hot-corn-casserole-quick-and-easy-weeknight-sides/ If I learned one thing about growing up with a pool in the backyard, it’s that your house will almost always be the spot for get-togethers with friends and family all summer long. And that is just fine, because pool parties are one of the very best ways to spend those steamy summer afternoons. Of course, with any good pool party comes a spread of simple yet delicious food that will satisfy everyone from the young to the young at heart. This menu feeds six to eight people comfortably and most everything is prepped the day before, so all that’s left are a few finishing touches before everyone arrives. We’ve even included a timeline on exactly how you can pull this together in advance. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/06/27/a-family-friendly-menu-for-your-summer-pool-party-family-vacation/ Popsicles are already refreshing, but infuse them with fresh mint and you’ve got an extra-cooling treat to pull out of the freezer on sweltering summer days. These pops are based on mint-chocolate chip ice cream, but you won’t find any artificial colors here! That classic green color is all thanks to a little matcha powder. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/06/27/cool-down-with-these-fresh-mint-chocolate-chip-popsicles-delicious-links/ As anyone who has taken to the open road can tell you, road trips are the perfect time to queue up a podcast. Not only will it keep your mind busy during long stretches of travel, but once you lose yourself in the story, it will also make those miles fly by. The best part? Food podcasts are booming. What was once a niche market has exploded, and high-quality podcasts about all aspects of the food world are just a few clicks away. Whether you want to gain insight into the workings of the food industry, be enlightened by a celebrity in the food world, or dive deep into a particular ingredient or culture, there’s a perfect food-based podcast for you. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/06/27/the-10-best-food-podcasts-for-a-road-trip-road-trips-for-food-lovers/ From Apartment Therapy → Before & After: What it Lacked in Drawers, it Made Up for in Rodents via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/06/27/before-after-an-old-kitchen-gets-a-bright-update-apartment-therapy/ window.ATGalleries = window.ATGalleries || {}; Summer potlucks are mostly about friends and family. The burgers could be burnt, the salad soggy, and the white wine lukewarm and you’d still have a good time because you’re with your loved ones. But if you’re secretly hoping to bring the dish that everybody talks about — the one that gets polished off right away — you’re not alone. It’s not a contest, of course, but who says you can’t have your friends and impress them, too? These 10 recipes will get you started in the right direction. From tomato and mozzarella caprese skewers to a rustic tomato galette to no-bake salted chocolate oat bars, these potluck picks are sure to impress. Bonus: They’re also quick and easy to pull together! via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/06/26/10-potluck-dishes-everyone-will-want-the-recipe-for-recipes-from-the-kitchn/ In the past decade, coconut oil has been touted as the holy grail of healthy cooking. But last week the ingredient was brought down a notch by the American Heart Association’s latest report. According to a recent review of existing data on saturated fat, the Dietary Fats and Cardiovascular Disease advisory found that lower intake of dietary saturated fats — including coconut oil — is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. So, is coconut oil actually bad for you? What do other nutritionists say? And what can you do as the consumer? Let’s break it all down. via WordPress https://jonathanwilhoite.wordpress.com/2017/06/26/confused-about-coconut-oil-even-dietitians-disagree-right-now-wellness-news/ |
