I doubt you’ve ever seen corn that looks like this before. Glass gem corn, uncovered by Oklahoma farmer Carl Barnes, was found when Barnes decided to connect with his Native American roots through food. He discovered several strains of corn seeds through his agricultural journey and through selective planting, he was able to cultivate the beautiful crop.

Regardless of whether you love a smoothie bowl or think that this tasty trend should end, tucking into a nourishing bowl of something other than cold cereal or warm oatmeal is sometimes just the thing you need to start your day off right. Enter: the hearty fruit salad.
Think of this as a grain bowl meets fruit salad, with enough whole grains and fresh fruit to keep you full until lunch and a punchy vinaigrette gilding the whole thing. Not only are these bowls easier to eat than a smoothie bowl, they can also be prepared in advance, making them easier to take on the go or to eat at your desk.

Welcome to our Healthy Habit Challenge! Instead of focusing on (impossible-to-keep) new year’s resolutions, this year we’re challenging four writers to start a new healthy habit. These challenges aren’t about cutting out sugar, going on a diet, or focused on the negative. They’re about doing something new and good — and making it second-nature.
My grocery store is full of lush fruits and vegetables from all over the world, yet I only buy the same four items: apples, bananas, sweet potatoes, and string beans. These four fruits and veggies are my core group, rattling around my shopping cart every Sunday afternoon like clockwork.
It’s almost like I have blinders on when I wander through the produce section. I don’t notice the vibrant fennel or the firm green peppers. I barely acknowledge the leafy greens and I straight-up ignore the baby portobello mushrooms. While I’m happy to dine on these foods when I eat out, I rarely purchase them for myself to prepare at home.
However, since I started frequenting farmers markets this year and seeing how many kinds of foods are available to try, my curiosity about preparing different fruits and vegetables has grown. I bought my first delicata squash last month and it was like a lightbulb went off: My shopping routine needs a shake-up.

Seafood consumption comes with a handful of health benefits, but it can be challenging to determine which seafood items are good to eat and which are destroying the health of the ocean. To help navigate, the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch program offers assistance to businesses and consumers looking to make sustainable choices.
Recently Seafood Watch released their recommendations for January and through June of 2017 by state. Here’s a brief primer on what you need to know from the report.

My mama can cook a handful of things well (lasagna, scrambled eggs, toast) and a great many things that still leave you wanting. But given that toast is my favorite food, quickly followed by eggs, she’s pretty much the ultimate culinary goddess in my eyes. One thing she does exceptionally well is cook eggs in a cast iron pan. They never ever burn and they always taste better than anything I cook up.
Now I know the mom factor (the magical process that makes any food your parents cook for you taste better than food you make yourself) is at play here, but after watching her intensely a few times I realized that this woman has real finesse!
A while ago, I decided I was going to master cooking eggs in a cast iron pan like a pro, so I observed my mom’s technique and then tested it out on my own and feel ready to report the things that make all the difference.

If we could pack up and move halfway across the world, we would. There’s just something about Scandinavian design that puts even the best American design to shame. How is everything over there so darn cute?
Because it’s not totally feasible to relocate at this point in time, we’ll just sit here and quietly pine over these kitchens from afar. Don’t mind us — or better yet, join us in our lusting!

For the last 10 years or so, Nutella has creeped its way into our hearts and pantries, as a delicious spread for breakfast toast and as a generous topping to our ice cream sundaes.
But not everything is sweet in the land of hazelnut chocolate. The ingredient that makes this spread so creamy — palm oil — is under fire for being a potential carcinogen.
Thus far, there are no government regulations banning palm oil or official recommendations for consumers to stop eating it. But some chains and brands have taken matters into their own hands as a precautionary step. Italian supermarket chain Coop, for example, recently banned the ingredient from its in-house line of products.
For now classes are 6pm and 640pm at 2840 Wildwood st in the Boise Cloggers studio.
