Breadcrumb Options: We prefer panko because it gives the perfect crispiness. If needed, you can always substitute with plain breadcrumbs. Why is my pork always dry? It is SO easy to overcook pork. We always use a meat thermometer for 100% accuracy to ensure our pork chops are cooked to food safety standards, but also so they’re not overcooked and dry! Pork Chop Options: We prefer these chops thick and boneless, but you can always use whatever pork chops you have on hand....

While coffee has recently gained popularity as a mocktail element (see the ubiquitous Coffee and Tonic), tea is also an excellent way to create aromatic, caffeine-boosted libations! Earl Grey shares similar flavors with tonic water to make for a nice citrusy pairing, so it’s a useful addition to your home bar when you’re not drinking alcohol. Why Tea Is Great for Mocktails When one is abstaining from alcohol-based bitters and liqueurs, tea can add that necessary touch of bitterness and astringency to a non-alcoholic drink....

What temperature to cook salmon? Salmon is best baked at 350 to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. You want to cook it at a high enough temperature that the heat can penetrate the fish quickly enough to cook the inside, but not too hot so that the outer layers of the fish dry out. 350 to 375 degrees is a good mid-range cooking temperature. Foil: In this recipe the fish is wrapped in foil to protect the fish from direct heat....

The contents of your package are ready to eat right off the grill. No knives needed!...

They’re a French variety of green bean, also known as haricots verts, or filet beans. Haricots verts are more delicate than regular green beans and cook up more quickly.

This is my take on Erin’s version of green cauliflower rice, with a generous handful of chopped herbs thrown in at the end for even more flavor. I usually add cilantro, so the “rice” pairs well with Asian and Mexican-inspired meals. You can sub in flat leaf parsley to go with Italian food, or a mixture of parsley, dill, and/or mint for a Mediterranean or Middle Eastern meal. What Is Cauliflower Rice?...

Why Tuesday? That was the night when each wing cost only 13 cents. The Best BBQ Wings of My Life Now I’ve eaten thousands of Buffalo wings before and since, but none were like Big Barry’s. I swear they had to be either roasted or grilled because Barry’s wings were crisp and charred and very much not like those nasty, pallid fried things you get in most of the country....

Why Mozzarella, Arugula, and Roasted Red Peppers? Back when I was writing my cookbook, Melt: The Art of Macaroni and Cheese, I had a lot of extra cheese in my house. Like, a lot of extra cheese – usually no less than 10 pounds, all scraps. For my husband, who possesses the enviable metabolism of a high school student despite being well into his forties, this was a boon. His favorite food growing up and still to this day is a grilled cheese sandwich, and I had provided him with an inexhaustible supply of ingredients....
