In any case, chicken tenders can be useful to have around, especially stored in the freezer for when you want a quick meal.

Broccoli stems, which I usually cut away and discarded when preparing broccoli florets, were perfectly delicious raw. Broccoli florets, I can’t stand raw, neither the texture nor the taste (why do people insist on putting raw broccoli florets in salads? Shudder). But the stems? All you have to do is cut away the tough, outer peel. Slice up the peeled stems and they are wonderfully cool and crunchy. Like carrots or celery, great for dipping....
Butternut squash can be a challenge to cut raw. It’s so much meatier than mostly hollow pumpkins. But these days you can easily find pre-cut squash at the market.

Every time I walk under our grape arbor in this season, just the smell of those ripe grapes conjures up memories of childhood—wolfing down a PB & J, slurping a rapidly melting frozen grape juice bar (mom was way more into those than neon popsicles), or greedily munching on a grape flavored jelly bean, Lifesaver, or any of those turn-your-mouth-purple candies that we loved. We used to make grape juice from Welch’s frozen concentrate; sometimes the lid didn’t come off so easily and splat there went a purple goopy mess all over our shirts....

Flax eggs are a mixture of flaxseed meal (ground flaxseeds) and water....

Like any traditional recipe, it’s going to vary from family to family, grandmother to grandmother, and so on. What most Jewish-style briskets share in common is a sweet component in the braising liquid. In this Jewish brisket, I rely on ketchup and brown sugar to add a touch of sweetness, but other recipes might call for white sugar, chili sauce, or even Coca-Cola....
Brilliant! It was so incredibly good. Silky and savory like our sopa seca de fideo angel hair dish, but with little rice-shaped orzo pasta. The browning of the orzo adds a toasty nutty flavor to the pasta. So, I thought I would step the idea up a notch and make something akin to arroz con pollo, except with pasta instead of the arroz. It would be “Orzo con Pollo.” It’s a winner!...
