Vietnamese beef noodle pho is an easy soup to fall in love with. Those chewy noodles, that savory broth, the tender slices of beef — all those crunchy, spicy, herby garnishes we get to toss on top. On a cold evening, after a rough day at work, when we’re sick, on a lazy weekend afternoon — a bowl of piping hot pho is pretty much always a good idea.

Beef pho (pronounced “fuh“!) feels like a restaurant staple, but it’s not actually all that hard to make a quick version at home. This recipe for quick Vietnamese beef pho was one of our favorites from The Kitchn Cookbook; so much so that we wanted to walk you through how to make it, step by step.

When I get a craving for meatballs, I have a very specific meatball in mind: They’re completely tender all the way through without even a hint of toughness. They’re big enough to require a fork, but modest enough to justify several on the plate. Maybe some onions and fresh herbs mixed in … maybe. Nothing fancy. Totally old-school.

Yes, this is a recipe for those very meatballs. More than a recipe — I’m walking you through each step, from mixing the meat (use your hands!) to shaping the meatballs to cooking them to perfection. I know what I’m having for dinner tonight. Do you?

Ah, autumn, when crisp mornings make me forget about chilled overnight oats and smoothies, and instead push hot breakfasts to the front of my mind. The only challenge is finding warm breakfasts that are still quick enough to make on busy fall mornings. Enter these freezer-friendly breakfast wraps.

Following these tips for freezing burritos, I made vegetarian wraps filled with eggs, tomatoes, spinach, and feta that are ready to microwave in the morning. Skipping breakfast at Starbucks is a lot easier when I can have this on my plate in only two minutes.

Speaking of Roundup, British wheat farmers “are doing a similar thing by spraying weeds but they’re also spraying the wheat itself and they’re doing this in order to kill it and make it easier to harvest. That’s how it gets into the food and that’s the use of glyphosate that we’re calling for a ban on.”

“We need to make Apple Pancake,” announced my friend Jennie. It was nearly a dozen years ago; I was fresh out of college and knocking around my own kitchen for the first time, doing experimental things like putting cinnamon in pasta sauce and struggling to bake chicken breasts. “Apple pancakes?” I said, forming a pleasant picture of a stack of chunky apple buttermilk pancakes, beaded with syrup. “No,” she said. “The apple pancake.”

There were not multiple apple pancakes; there was no stack. The apple pancake was something altogether new to me, involving apples, a family story, a cast iron skillet, and the magic of a hot oven — all before breakfast.
