Caesar salad is a classic. But our version has a few twists that make it deliciously unique. Instead of romaine lettuce we use tender and earthy baby kale leaves, which are now available with the packaged lettuces at your local Whole Foods market. Our Green Olive Caesar Dressing gets a salty bite from capers (hold the anchovies, please!) and it’s creaminess from buttery green olives, which you can also find at Whole Foods. For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with chickpeas or grilled tofu.

Photo by Brannon Conza When making creamed corn, you cut the kernels off the cob and then scrape the cob to remove all the “milk”, or remaining corn juices and bit of flavor. But that can be tedious and time consuming. Here, we simmer the cobs in the soup to extract all the sweet goodness [...]
By Chelsea Fyrberg This year I planted rhubarb in the garden in hopes of replicating my grandmother’s famous strawberry rhubarb pie. Aware that I lack her green thumb, I did some research to prepare myself for this endeavor. Much to my relief, I learned this perennial vegetable doesn’t require much attention at all; it actually [...]
