Put a bowl of creamy, crumb-topped mac n’ cheese on the cover of any book and I am oath-bound to pick it up. But this isn’t just any mac n’ cheese. This is a mac n’ cheese makeover — a lighter version developed by those exacting and perfectionist cooks over at America’s Test Kitchen, and it’s just one of over 175 comfort food recipes they tweaked and remodeled. Half the fat and still deserving of the Test Kitchen’s stamp of tasty approval? I’m in.

I’ve had the good fortune to work from home the past couple of years, and my stomach and taste buds are very thankful for it. The extra flexibiltiy means lunches no longer have to fall in the categories of cold sandwiches or microwaveable meals. My lunch can be more versatile and spontaneous just like my work day at home. I just need a few key ingredients: More

With winter still dragging its heels a bit, I thought that it would be nice to open a big box of sunshine. With that in mind I have put together a mixed case of sunny California wine. This mixed case should serve to highlight both the diversity of wine regions within California as well as the multitude different grapes grown. More

Even when warm weather is nigh, it’s still nice to have a hot lunch at work. However, lots of people don’t have access to a microwave or could use a healthy hot lunch option that doesn’t involve the chronically-dirty-in-the-workplace small appliance. Cue the handy thermos! More

I’m a total meatball fiend, whether they’re of Swedish, Italian, or Southern descent. (Grape jelly ring a bell?) In a sloppy sandwich, meatballs become even more appealing — and doubly so when in “small-bite” slider form. Take my spin on Chicken Parmesan. Chicken meatballs are stuffed with cubes of mozzarella, doused in marinara, and finished off with a generous dusting of Parmesan. Think it sounds like too much hassle for lunch? Check your freezer first.

“Six beans, grains and pastas are layered to a pretty effect in a glass jar with seasonings and bouillon granules in this winning idea for a hostess gift.”
I’ve been a fan of Karen Solomon’s work for a long time, ever since I read and reviewed her first book Jam It, Can It, Pickle It back in the early days of the DIY kitchen revolution. We’ve come a long way since then. Canning and pickling are no longer grandma skills in need of rescuing from the brink of oblivion, thanks to people like Karen who have spent years testing and experimenting, discovering and inventing, helping to make the art of preservation fun and exciting.
But how does Karen handle day-to-day cooking in her home kitchen? What are the five essential things she believes a home cook should know? Read on for her fun, eclectic list! More
