I love lentils! My two favorite ways to eat them are with chevre and walnuts: http://www.foodtv.ca/recipes/recipe...

Does anybody know who makes that black-handled flatware in the photo? So lovely.

This would be great for my husband, who is still using plastic baggies to hold his various lunch items.

People cook with MSG at home? On purpose? Really? From a website that tends to focus on fresh, unprocessed, local food, this content is confusing to say the least.

Try sprinkling some rosewater over cold, sliced watermelon. It is heaven on a hot day.

I overcame my fear of canning precisely when my husband's Italian grandmother told me she cans tomatoes by getting them hot, putting them in a jar, and wrapping the jar in a blanket overnight. I w...

I, too, am one of those overzealous buyers who ends up with way too much of one canned item and then is too burned out to put away anything else. This summer it's been strawberry jam...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Bar Keepers Friend. Is there some hidden toxic ingredient I should know about? I started using it on my copper pots (works beautifully), but was so impressed th...

We only have 6 bikes between the two of us, but we live in a condo without much storage space. The (relatively low value) mountain bikes are locked on a wall rack in our parking garage and the nic...

Good to know about the bad pouring design. I was thinking these would be perfect for my newly organized pantry, but maybe not. Too bad they didn't make the whole lid hinge so you could use the me...

You can also make flax-based crackers that are low carb, low fat (if you leave most of the seeds whole and only grind some as a binder), and tasty too. Google for a multitide of recipes, or just m...

Thanks for reminding me about all the edamame in my freezer! I like it best with coarse salt, lime, and mint.

Whoa. Talk to me about those orange pendant lamps! They would be perfect for a current project...where can we buy them??

You could do an Ikea Klippan sofa with a Bemz slipcover. Or if you don't like any of the Bemz fabrics, you could always find a fabric you love and get the slipcover and pillows custom made.

Thanks for the thoughts, everybody. The kitchen in the photo is not mine, but it is my inspiration photo and captures the look I'm going for. I think I will take the advice to bring hardware samp...

Black. But not high gloss. Unless you really want to relive the 80s.

Man, I would love to view these photos, but there's a big fat ad covering them and I can't figure out how to close it. Hope this isn't the new MO around here...

Homemade granola can be made in advance and is much nicer than a half-empty cereal box for a quick breakfast. If you're really on top of things, make a double batch and package some up in a pretty...

As much as I detest the frat house aesthetic based on decorating with empty liquor bottles, this is a nice look for a vacation home. It sorta says, take your shoes off, make yourself a drink, we'r...

Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but having my arm hair singed by the roaring fire next to me would pretty much negate any hot tub induced relaxation.
