Low-Calorie Recipes: Easy Shrimp Dinner
What to Eat While Watching Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey — Better TV Dinners
What if instead of catching up on your favorite reality TV show or binge-watching Game of Thrones, you could be transported into outer space or even back in time while sitting on your couch? If you’re like me, you’ve been in awe of Cosmos: A Space Odyssey, the follow-up of Cosmos: A Personal Voyage hosted by Carl Sagan in the 1980s. Neil deGrasse Tyson is our tour guide to the great unknown and the players in history who attempted to shed light on the universe.
Whether you’re hungry for knowledge, or just you know, dinner, here’s what you should eat while watching Cosmos.

Recipe: Spicy Ginger Lemonade — Recipes from The Kitchn
The allure of lemonade is in its balance between sweet and tart, but since I can’t leave well enough alone, I’m always tweaking it by introducing a third flavor. Lately I’ve been loving the addition of heat, especially in the form of a spicy ginger syrup.
Recipe: Zuni-Style Tandoori Roast Chicken With Masala Bread Salad — Recipes from The Kitchn
One of the best recipes for roast chicken out there has to be Judy Rodgers’ recipe for Zuni Cafe Roast Chicken served on an equally delicious bread salad. No surprise, it is my number one method for cooking any kind of poultry, not just chicken. The succulent moistness that this method gives to the chicken, or indeed, any other poultry, is unmatched.
However, I do have meddling Indian genes, so I also had to make my own version of this Zuni-style chicken using my tandoori spice mix and my mother’s incredible masala bread salad. It’s a simple, spicy twist on the original, and it is absolutely stunning.
