I love packing my own breakfast! I find that making muffin versions of breakfast breads is easy and cost/time/appetite efficient. Plus, it's a great way to incorporate a serving of fruits/veggies i...
i hate to disagree with a much-trusted Kitchn editor.....but, we bought one of these and absolutely HATED it. every time we used it--even just to whir a quick tomato sauce--it smelled as if the mot...
@graciela: don't fall too hard for the expensive equipment; thrift mason jars if you can, but buy NEW lids and rings. you'll need a large pot (think stock pot), and i think jar tongs are helpful bu...
like other folks, i had never considered saving them. until now. great tip! especially for buttering a pan. this will, however, force me to stop my habit of chopping neat portions butter for baking...

so i'm thinking of trying it with some local brews--in Au...
i learned the art of canning from my mother, who learned it from her mother, who learned it from hers... and so on.
we've been eating our own canned produce for generations--and i am ...
gallo pinto! it really is a staple--for 10 days in costa rica, we had it every morning... and when i got home, after a short break from it, i started making it again. the leftover beans and rice fr...
these were a hit! they didn't quite get cooled all the way, though, before we just HAD to dig into them. very rich and decadent, and the chocolate really shone through. the microwave made it feel a...
same here on the pre-evening vegetarianism/veganism. and the more i read (Plenty; Food Matters; Omnivore's Dilemma; Animal, Vegetable, Miracle; articles like this one....), the closer to home i eat...
