We all hit ruts where everything we cook suddenly feels boring and uninspired — even, apparently, Tamar Adler. But she has some advice for falling back in love with food: Remember what you love. She says, “If it’s hot dogs or cinnamon toast that reminds your heart that it can be moved by food, then make them.”

There is approximately one serving of this left in my freezer. I almost ate it for lunch. But if my husband came home and found out I finished it without saving him one last bite, there’d be issues. Ice cream capable of causing marital discord: worth checking out, no?

Thawing something from the freezer to cook for dinner has saved us from many a last-minute grocery store run, but what happens if you forget about what you thawed or your plans change? Can you safely throw that meat or poultry back in the freezer to cook another time? You can, but only in one instance!

For the past couple weeks I’ve been up to my ears in electric pressure cooker manuals. My kitchen smelled like chicken and delicious onions for days at a time while testing. I’ve put these three electric pressure cookers from Cuisinart, Fagor, and Breville to the test — so how do they stack up against each other? And which one is right for you?

Jicama can be intimidating. If you haven’t been formally introduced to the whole vegetable, you probably don’t know what you are looking for. And once you do know the tuber’s form, they can be quite large, with bark-like skin — perhaps even a little ominous. It’s easy to forget how juicy, crunchy, and downright exciting they are.

If you were to tell the 6-year-old version of myself that, down the road, I would be writing my thoughts on how not to screw up summer vegetables, she would have yelled, “Whatever — all vegetables stink!” and rolled away on her blue and black Big Wheel (because she thought pink was gross and for sissies).

The grown-up version of myself knows better and can’t hardly contain herself for summer vegetable season. But please, for all that is holy, don’t do these three things or else we can’t ever be friends. No really. I’ll give you back your friendship bracelet.

Radishes are one of my favorite vegetables; their peppery bite and heated pink color make them one of the best things at the early summer farmers market. But they are so underutilized; they’re the last thing to go on the veggie platter, or dutifully chopped into salads.

But radishes are capable of so much more! When we picked out recipes for our radish mini series this week, we looked for dishes that showed a different dimension to the cutest root. This fabulous pasta from Rozanne Gold is a perfect demonstration, and it only has five ingredients.
