by guest blogger Katina Simonetta Jenkins, merchandising coordinator at Rodale’s What should you bring to that last-minute cookout? This refreshingly simple Mediterranean bean salad, that’s what.

Wasabi Edamame
by guest blogger Paul Kita, food and nutrition editor at Men’s Health Some foods have mind–control powers. They commandeer your gray matter, and your willpower falls subservient to their demands. Edamame, those habit-forming poppable pods from whole soybeans, are one of these mystic munchies. If you haven’t had edamame, you have yet to learn of […]
Easy Corn Casserole
by Maria Luci, editor at Maria’s Farm Country Kitchen and Rodale’s When I got married, my mother gave me a little booklet bound with a ribbon that was simply titled, “Recipes from Your Mother.” Inside the booklet, as you probably guessed, were my mother’s (and a few of my grandmother’s) signature recipes. The first thing […]
Quick and Easy Panisse from Scratch
Even if you don’t know what panisse is, I promise you will enjoy it. All you have to do is try it. It’s basically chickpea flour fried in olive oil, which creates little pieces of yumminess.

It’s picnic and backyard party season, and where there are BBQs and grilled meats, there MUST also be coleslaw (without mayo!). Something about the vinegar cuts and balances the smoky grease of any good BBQ. For the cabbage, you can use regular, purple, savoy, or napa—or, for fun, a mixture of cabbages! This is a […]
Cheesy Potatoes, a Michigan Classic
Over Thanksgiving, The New York Times ran a map of the most googled recipes from every state. It provided hours of fun on Facebook and Google (Frog Eye Salad, anyone?) and led my dear former blog coordinator, Dana Blinder, who left me to move back to Michigan to be closer to her family, to share […]
