“This is the real thing! A simple mixture of masa harina and water results in the most wonderful corn tortillas you ever tasted. The secret is to use a cast iron pan! You can buy masa harina at Mexican grocery stores or in the ethnic food aisle of large supermarkets.”
Are you part of a CSA this season? I am, and for the next few months I’ll be sharing my weekly CSA box with you — what I got, and how I plan to use it all up!

It’s our nation’s 4th of July celebration tomorrow, and like most holidays, this one deserves a feast — a celebration through food (and maybe beer, too).

“This vegan pancake recipe is the best of the vegan lot. The secret that these pancakes are not soggy like the other vegans ones is that it uses custard powder.

Let’s say you’ve conquered the raw kale salad. Maybe you massage it, maybe you don’t, but it’s definitely no surprise anymore to sit down to a big bowl of raw, dark greens and chow down. But perhaps now you’re a little bored. You want something more — a recipe to impress your kale-loving friends and shake you out of your salad stupor this summer. Smoky and garlicky, studded with chunks of grilled bread, this grilled kale salad is it.
