My mantra for pasta has always been that it can be a wholesome, well-balanced meal if you make it that way. I hate that the carb gets such a bad rap because, well, if you load it with vegetables and eat the portion size that’s right for you, it’s a dish you can feel good about. These 10 recipes, which are more vegetable than noodle, prove it. They are full of so much color and flavor, you’ll want to dig right into them.

As kitchens go, this one isn’t too shabby. There are really nice white countertops, classic subway tiles on the backsplash, and basic wood cabinets that look perfectly sound and in good condition. There’s no horribly dated light fixtures, no crappy peeling wallpaper, or any odd woodwork that needs to be ripped out. Even the walls are white and ready to go. Not much you can do to improve this space, right? So very, very wrong.

There is little doubt that antibiotics have played a very important role in medicine. Their use has helped eradicate diseases like tuberculosis. They have also been very successful in treating common bacterial infections and health problems related to parasites. However, the very success of antibiotics has encouraged the unwise overuse of these antimicrobial agents, which […]

When I was small, I wanted nothing more than to learn what the word “wardrobe” meant so I could disappear into one and find a magical icy fairy land full of talking fauns and allegorical lions. Now that I am an adult, my Narnia looks like this amazing secret wine cellar hidden under a perfectly ordinary kitchen island.

As anyone who’s brewed several batches of kombucha can attest, it can feel totally intimidating when you’re getting started. The most important lessons and tips learned about brewing kombucha didn’t come from reading dozens of articles (which I did) — it came from actually going through the process again and again and again. Of all the helpful tips I picked up, this is what I wish knew when I first got started.

The smell of classic chicken soup, fragrant with herbs and vegetables, is one of the most comforting smells that a kitchen can produce. The key to a good soup that’s intensely chicken-y is a long, slow simmer. Naturally the slow cooker is chicken soup’s best friend, as it can cook all day without any supervision from you.

Starting with a whole chicken guarantees a soup that has plenty of flavor and lots of meat to shred to keep things nice and hearty, plus you’ll produce quarts of soup to pack for lunch, take to friends, or stash away in the freezer for an easy, healthy dinner.

When your kids are toddlers, they’re volatile little beings that can get hangry in a heartbeat. Heaven forbid you don’t have a package of something bunny-shaped in your purse when an errand runs longer than expected — you could end up with a raging toddler or unexpectedly having to shell out for ice cream. So you learn to carry snacks.

Some snacks are so good, though, that kids never stop wanting to eat them — even once they’re well past toddlerhood. My girls are now 3 and 5, and while my younger one has almost aged out of the toddler stage, she’s the excuse my older one uses to stock up on her favorite snacks. And I’m totally fine with it. I’d prefer they both eat the lower-sugar, usually-whole-grain carbs made for little ones. And if they’d rather have their fruits and veggies dried out or in stick, puff, or animal shapes, shouldn’t I be happy they’re getting their daily dose?

So without further ado — and after a quick survey of my friends’ kids, too — here are 10 toddler foods that 5-year-olds are still happy to eat.

I recently did an informal poll among my cooking buddies, asking them how hot they heat their ovens when making pizza at home. They blinked at me and universally responded, “As hot as it will go.” That’s when I realized I’ve been falling a little short in the pizza department.
