What’s Cooking This Weekend? — Labor Day Weekend 2015
Monday is Labor Day, so all of us at The Kitchn are headed off for a long holiday weekend. I’m planning to get caught up on meal-planning and grocery shopping, as things have been a little scattered around my house this month! I’m loving the fresh cucumbers and zucchini coming our way from my in-laws’ garden, and I think the weekend calls for Greek salads with feta and plenty of olives. I also have this French lentil salad in my sights. And oh, I’m so excited to start this year’s Kitchn Cure — the amazing and lovely Dana Velden is hosting it this year. Have you signed up yet? The first assignment is perfect for a holiday Monday.
So that’s me. What about you? What are you cooking this weekend? Do tell!
I Had a Food-Truck Wedding (and It Was Awesome) — Winning at Weddings
On August 15, 2015, I had what was arguably the best day ever. I got married! In a beautiful garden, surrounded by close friends and family, with the sun shining and not a rain cloud in sight. But perhaps the best part of the day — besides, you know, the whole exchanging vows with the love of my life part — was the food.
We had a wood-fired pizza truck and an ice cream truck cater our wedding, and it was awesome.
Recipe: Scrambled Egg Tacos — Weeknight Meals Recipes from The Kitchn
I’m going to get really real with you today and talk about one of my go-to weeknight recipes. In my “what’s for dinner tonight?” flowchart, scrambled egg tacos are often the difference between a home-cooked meal and takeout. They are also the way we keep leftovers from languishing in the fridge — in my mind, there are few vegetables that won’t work in a tortilla. Apparently my kids agree with this sentiment, because on taco night, they seem to have no problem eating the very same vegetables they left on their plates earlier in the week.

A Visual Guide to Juicing Fruit: How Much Fruit Makes a Cup? — Your Juice Habit
Fruit juice is totally delicious, and has earned a spot on most of our breakfast tables. Can we say, Sunday morning mimosas with fresh-squeezed orange juice? Yes, please. We guzzle a nice glass of apple juice without much thought, or pick up one of those watermelon coolers from a nearby juice bar when we’re feeling fancy.
However, aren’t you ever curious about how much fruit you’re actually consuming in that morning cup of juice?
The Introvert’s Guide to Cleaning the Kitchen — A Strictly Scientific Guide
There are three things you should know about introverts: first, we like spending time alone; second, we’re not anti-social, we just can’t socialize nonstop without feeling like — how do I put this? — part of our soul is dying; and third, there’s a right and wrong way for an introvert to clean the kitchen.
What? You didn’t know that last part? It’s true. If you’re an introvert and you’ve never been a fan of cleaning the kitchen, it’s probably because you’re cleaning it like — gasp! — an extrovert. Here’s how you can really make it work for you.

Myth Busting: What Time of Year Is It Safe to Eat Oysters? — Expert Intelligence
There’s always been this oft-recited piece of advice about oysters: Only eat oysters in months that contain the letter “R” in the name. You know, September, October, December, January. Not June, July, August.
But if this is true, how do millions of restaurants sell them year-round to people who seem just fine after eating them? If we’ve been eating oysters all summer, have we been putting our health at risk? I put the question to two oyster experts: Chris Sherman at Island Creek Oysters and Rowan Jacobsen, author of A Geography of Oysters. Here’s what they had to say.
Why I Chose a Vitamix Blender Over a Blendtec — Tips from The Kitchn
A few months ago, I spent a lot of quality time testing three high-end blenders — and I mean a lot. My family drank tons of smoothies, I made enough hummus to serve at my cousin’s bridal shower, and I turned pounds of carrots into carrot purée.
After the blades stopped whirring, I was faced with a choice: Which one was worth keeping in my kitchen? After some intense hemming and hawing, I chose the Vitamix. Here’s why, and here’s what I think of my choice four months later!
