Rachel Ray’s Blindfold ~ Rebecca Zandstein
I thought I only watched Rachel Ray’s 30 Minute Meals for a good laugh, but she proved me wrong. Ray was doing a quickie meal of American favorites, including sloppy joes and macaroni and cheese, but with a twist: making them healthier and adding “adult flavors” to appeal to children. The twist was not quite a 360 degree turn; it was closer to zero.
Chambord and How to Use It ~ Marlana Moore
I first came across a dusty bottle of Chambourg when helping my grandparents clean out their house this summer. It sat on the hutch in the living room, in the shadows behind my grandfather’s extensive collection of carved ducks. The curious spherical bottle, filled with purple wine-colored liquid and embellished with tacky gold letters, caught my eye. I was puzzled–not once on the bottle does it tell you the ingredients, the alcohol content or what it should taste like.

Kimbab in the City – Rebecca Zandstein
I never realized that New York City was home to a Koreatown. Though it might be a block long, it left me more satisfied than the entire length of Canal Street. While I was strolling down West 32nd St, the center of Koreatown, I skipped in and out of a Korean market, and peered into all of the noodle and Korean barbecue shops. Thankfully, I found a small “hole-in-the-wall” shop that makes beautiful, delicious, large, and cheap kimbab.

Tofu, Done Well – Rebecca Zandstein
As a “carbaholic” and one who loves Morningstar Farms, minus the products with sesame oil, I find that making a quick sandwich stuffed with protein, veggies, and sauce is a… Read more
