Imagine, if you will, your favorite salad. What does it contain? Surely there’s a leafy green and some vegetables in there. Maybe meat or eggs if you’re making a meal of it? What about nuts, seeds, cheeses, or another assorted traditional toppings? You’ll for sure need a killer homemade dressing to top it all off, and then you’re all set.

Right? Not if you’re this vintage “salad” recipe that has the internet all aflutter — because donuts.

When I was in high school, my father discovered whole-wheat pasta and jumped on the bandwagon with full force, like so many other health-conscious people at the time. Our pantry was stripped of all traditional pasta, and boxes of brown stuff took its place. It clearly wasn’t the high point of my pasta-eating days. I ate the stuff hesitantly; it tasted dense and sad to me more often than not.

When I ran off to college a few years later, and then to Italy to study abroad, I pushed the whole-wheat stuff aside and redeemed myself. I declared that I’d never touch whole-grain pasta again — that is until Italian locals told me about Kamut pasta, a whole-grain variety they claimed was far from heavy and lackluster. As always, the Italians know what they are talking about when it comes to carbohydrates.

Europeans have been sipping bottles of bubbly water since the 18th century, when the spa town of Niederselters, Germany filled clay pots with the naturally carbonated, supposedly medicinal waters from its thermal springs. They shipped the vessels around the world, and the town name morphed to “seltzer” as it traveled west.

Today Europeans drink cases of the stuff for the same reasons we savor our favorite brand of seltzer: a refreshing taste and fizzy sensation. And while they might not have LaCroix Pamplemousse or Polar Unicorn Kisses, they do have some unique options, many of which are found only in Europe.

Some might just be worthy of a trans-Atlantic flight.

During my stint as a vegetarian, my boyfriend (now husband) took me on a date to The Meatball Shop in lower Manhattan. While he relished the many varieties of meatballs, I half-heartedly ordered the lentil balls.

I was skeptical of meat substitutes, but those lentil meatballs ended up being a dish I couldn’t stop talking about for months — tender, ridiculously flavorful, and “meaty” yet still quite light. I ordered the lentil meatballs even when I returned to the restaurant after I started eating meat again. That was the moment I realized just how incredible lentils are as a substitute for ground beef.

Even if you’re lucky enough to have a pantry, you still might not feel like all of your food-storage prayers have been answered. Sure, it’s nice to have some extra shelves beyond your cabinets, but why can’t you ever find what you’re looking for?

We talk a lot about using bins, organizers, and plenty of labels to keep order in a pantry. And while those are great helpers, you also might need to take a look at the shelves themselves — specifically the depth and placement of each one. So says Scott Davis, vice president of product development and marketing at Closetmaid, a storage system manufacturer.
