Weekend Cook and Tell Round Up: Resolute Menus
Last week on the Weekend Cook and Tell we asked all of you to share your New Year's Resolutions and the dishes that were helping you stick to them for a challenge we called Resolute Menus. Losing a bit of weight and saving money on groceries were two of our most popular resolutions, let's take a look creative ways all of you have been cutting calories and sticking to grocery budgets during the first two weeks of 2011.The Crisper Whisperer: 5 Veggie-Packed Frittatas to Start Your Winter Mornings Right
A frittata is the Oprah of the scrambled egg world—strong, unfussy, and forgiving. And one that's light on the eggs and bursting with vegetables is a smart, satisfying way to start the day. Here are five savory variations featuring winter produce.Go-To Detox Foods: What the Serious Eats Staff Likes When We're Feeling Chubby
Don't worry, the gang here is not embarking on a cleanse. We like fat too much to subsist on blenderized foods and obsessive gum-chewing. But our jeans have been feeling a li-ttle snug lately. Plus Dumpling came back from his holiday vacation (spent at Auntie Aya's) looking all svelte, which has inspired us to follow suit. Here are the go-to detox foods we crave at headquarters during these chubby times.Gift Guide: For Healthy Eaters
Healthy eaters: historically, they're pretty tough to buy gifts for. Popular cookbooks are chancy, Omaha Steaks won't cut it, and chocolate is out of the question (unless it's the good stuff). Never fear. From delicious dips to fun apparel, this guide should make shopping for your nutritionally minded loved one a little easier.How to Make Dried Apple Chips
Before the chillier temps set in and we all start (at long last) on pie, tart and crumble baking, here's how I'll be satisfying my fruit fetish: airy, delicate slices, crisp and almost candied, tinged with just the slightest bit of oven-brown on the edges. Let's make apple chips!Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 134: My Salad Days Are Here
You heard me! I ate the salad first! Who would have thunk it? Salad before burgers? Is that like pearls before swine?Serious Salad: Kosher Coleslaw
I'm not as fond of boiled vegetables as my Irish ancestors, but I do like making "health salad"—a form of "kosher" coleslaw. What could be a more fitting tribute to the heritage of my great-grandparents than a deli salad made with cabbage? Health salad is often served at delis because the cabbage is marinated in oil and vinegar, which means it can be eaten with meat according to the Jewish dietary laws that prohibit mixing meat and dairy. This recipe is adapted from a New Jersey diner.Serious Salad: Outrageously Inauthentic Asian Salad
For a full confession, my first faux Asian salad came from McDonalds. One of McDonald's first "healthy" campaigns designed to improve its image. Ah, the 1980s. The era of the guilt-free McNugget. But I was hooked on the faux Asian flavor combination as well. I have a nut consumption issue (or rather, a hard time stopping myself from nut-inhaling) and eating nuts on a salad (as opposed to from the jar) is a great way to slow myself down and have a more balanced dinner than bonding with Mr. Peanut one-on-one.Kombucha: The Acquired Taste for Funky-Tasting Fermented Tea
It's hard to compare the taste of kombucha (comb-boo-cha), the fermented tea drink, to anything else. Vinegary, fizzy, cider-y, or just plain nasty if you haven't given it a chance yet. Then again, some people (particularly those who drank vinegar as a kid) like it from sip one. The leaders of the market are GT's Kombucha, but brands like Honest Tea are appearing on shelves, and some "kombuchaseurs" are brewing their own at home.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
