There's a BBQ place called Redbones in Somerville, MA, that makes something called a Somerville Cheesesteak. It's a sandwich made with brisket ends, cheddar & mozzarella, and caramelized onions. ...

For 30 years (almost my entire life), my family has spent a weekend each October making cider with friends in Maine. Those are some of my happiest memories over the years -- and I am truly ruined ...

I think the answer to this question also depends on where you buy your veggies and where you live. If you're shopping at farmer's markets, you're getting food that was generally harvested quite re...

This cider cake from Food and Wine is delicious (and has a bourbon cider sauce in and on it).

I have a half-bath with open shelving, and I am filling the shelves with framed photos of family and friends. It lets me display them while keeping them out of the rest of my house (less clutter),...

I had the Best. Banana Split. Ever at, of all places, Gautreau's in New Orleans. The bananas were bruleed, which was genius, but what made it for me was some kind of banana cookie?/brownie? on the...

Our cherry pepper plants are just starting to explode, so we'll be pickling them. I love pickled cherry peppers on pizza, and they're so expensive in the store!

I own what used to be my parents' house, and my mother actually passed away here, from cancer, because we had at-home hospice care. Officially, I don't believe in ghosts, but when I first moved ba...

China was expensive, I knew we'd end up breaking it, and I didn't want to store two sets of dishware (especially if I never used one set)...so we just registered for a lot of simple, sturdy everyda...

I have this, and think it works well. I haven't noticed any dripping. http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Stainl...

I make a very similar salad all the time, except with butternut squash and kale. I'm definitely up for the beets, though!

German Festival Ham and White Bean Stew from Donald Link's Real Cajun cookbook. When we planned it and bought the groceries, it was rainy and cold, and now that it's sunny and humid it seems a bit...

I am lucky to have a farmer's market (South Station, Boston) right by my office, and because I work odd hours, I take my "lunch" break around 3-4 PM. The market is deserted and I can take my time ...

In corn season, I like to mix it with raw corn off the cob. It's about the same size but has such a different texture that it's fun to eat. Some herbs, tomatoes, olive oil, and crumbly cheese -- ...

My sister made the recipe from Martha Stewart's baking cookbook...it was pretty traditional and very delicious!

I own my childhood home! My parents bought my it about 6 months before I was born, and until I went to college (and then on to many apartments in my 20's), I never lived anywhere else. My father ...

Which uses more energy -- a long shower or a warm house? Because if I'm going to turn off the water while showering in the middle of winter, I'm gonna have to crank the heat up a LOT higher than I...
