The trick to make these truly great is to dust the green beans in a light breadcrumb coating that barely hangs onto the beans as they air-fry. The morsels of breadcrumbs give just a little much-needed crunch to the green beans. Why Air Fry Green Beans? This was an experiment for me, but I came away loving the air-fried green beans. Because they cook hot and fast, they still have some bite to them, but they also get blistered in places from the hot air....
Our neighbor Pat (the wonderful neighbor who has been teaching me all about organic gardening) brought over this delicious casserole for a block party recently. What a hit! For more information on which apple varieties are best for baking, check out our Guide to Apples. Remove the pie crust from oven and let cool. Remove the foil and pie weights. In the last 30 seconds or so, add the garlic and cook until fragrant....
This is a simple, light chicken soup that is richly flavored with shiitake mushrooms, and brightened with fresh ginger and soy sauce. The stock is very light and comes just from the cooking of the ingredients for less than half an hour. The combination of the ginger, chicken, mushrooms, soy sauce, and a touch of salt and sugar is just lovely, and I highly recommend trying this soup. A Simple Soup With a Complex History The recipe is an adaptation of one I discovered in a most curious cookbook, The Cultural Revolution Cookbook by Sasha Gong and Scott Seligman....

Before you rush off to preheat your oven, I want to share a few things I learned that will help you bake the best chocolate pound cake ever....

Have you ever heard of eggs mimosa? Neither had I until my French sweetheart introduced me to them. They’re like deviled eggs, except they’re not deviled. Instead, you stuff hard boiled egg whites and then grate the yolks over everything, resulting in a gorgeous platter reminiscent of the puff-like brilliant yellow mimosa flowers that abound in Provence and along the Mediterranean coast. Since most of the egg yolks are used to create the mimosa affect, we need to stuff the egg whites with something else....
Melonade Melonade is a recipe we came up with one day after eating on a huge watermelon for days. Does this happen to anyone else? It feels like we always end up getting way more watermelon than what we need and have so much left over. And let’s face it, watermelon, once sliced, only tastes good for a few days tops. Then it starts to lose all its juice into the container that you are keeping it in and starts to get a weird texture....

Lemon Cream Cheese Bars Lemon Cream Cheese Bars are a true family favorite. My mom made these for years when we were growing up and we all loved them. The luscious, creamy bar cookies took center stage at every family reunion, every picnic, and every weekend lake trip and they were always the first thing to be devoured. I like them more than traditional lemon bars because they’re much creamier and more like cheesecake....
Although Mandu Guk is eaten throughout the year, for Lunar New Year Koreans add rice cakes called tteokguk tteok, which translates to “rice cakes for rice cake soup.” This makes me chuckle! The rice cakes make it a celebratory meal that symbolizes growing another year older. You can find them in the refrigerated or freezer section of most Asian markets. Where to Buy Mandu Make this soup with either homemade or store-bought Korean dumplings....

This sesame noodle salad is a perfect cold noodle salad for a hot day.

Then toss it with green onions, cilantro, bell pepper and peanuts right before serving. Yum!

Turkey is a wonderful protein — easy to find and inexpensive — but it can also be quite strongly flavored, especially the dark meat. Strong flavors need to play with other strong flavors, and in this case we’re flavoring the turkey stew with mustard. This mustard sauce holds its own with the turkey, mellowing the turkey flavor while at the same time enhancing the overall flavor of the stew. To get the most flavor from the turkey thighs we’re searing them first, as well as sautéing the onions, before they go into the slow cooker....
