Welcome to March! Every March we do a month that we call 3 Square Meals, devoting a week each to breakfast, lunch, and dinner (plus snacks). This lines up with our Cooking Cure which kicked off today with your first assignment. This whole week will be about the what, how, and why of breakfast. What do you want to talk about? Tell us!
A couple months ago, in the depths of holiday baking season, my friend Wendy sent me a message. “Faith,” she said. “I have a question about butter. Why do some recipes call for unsalted butter? I don’t always have unsalted butter on hand — is it a big deal or not?”
Can you relate? Maybe you’ve wondered this too: why do baking recipes usually call for unsalted butter?
Bacon. In the microwave. It seems so wrong, and yet…and yet…also a little bit right. You guys, this really works, and it’s perfect for when you just want a few quick slices of bacon without the fuss of pulling out a pan.

“Corn kernels pan-fried with fajita seasoning are tossed with black beans, jalapeno, and lime and orange juice for a tangy and spicy salad.”
My landlady stopped by this morning to retrieve her mail, which I had been dutifully saving from our drenching late winter rains while she was away in Mexico. In return, she presented me with a gift of a little Oaxacan spoon topped with a carved pink rabbit. The cheerful pink bunny and the arrival of March are just a few of the many reminders that spring, and all the changes it will bring, is not that far off. (Honest. I swear.)
