An herbaceous platter of gnocchi sabzi with lamb kofta to celebrate Nowruz and the vernal equinox Heather Arndt Anderson / OPB Spring has officially arrived in the Northern Hemisphere, and we have many ways to celebrate the return of life, some of which date back as far as the invention of the wheel. Rites of spring are woven into our humanity. First arising out of Zoroastrianism in the 6th century B.C., Nowruz (Persian New Year) is still celebrated today much as it was at its inception, though it has spread along the western half of the Silk Road, everywhere Turko-Persian culture historically flourished: the Middle East; South Asia; the Caucasus and the Balkans. The holiday likely sprang even ear...

pancake mix recipe :: Article Creator Are Protein Pancake Mixes Actually Healthy? Dietitians Weigh In Are Protein Pancake Mixes Actually Healthy? D3sign - Getty Images "Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." I started eating protein pancakes two years ago while on a diet. According to HealthTok, protein pancakes are an easy way to boost your protein intake and satisfy your sweet tooth, all while staying within your health goals. Sounds perfect, right? Well…maybe not. While I wouldn't recommend taking all influencer tips at face value, there is some truth in the online hype: Protein pancakes are an excellent source of protein, especially when paired with other breakfast staples like turkey bacon and cheesy eggs. Now, with eggflation and rising grocery prices, many of us (raises hand) are searching for affordable breakfast alternatives that offer the same (or more) protein. S...

noodles :: Article Creator Noodles For Passover? Yes, It's Possible! The week of Passover can be a challenge when it comes to feeding your family, especially if your little ones are already tough to please at the dinner table. Many of their favorite dishes, including chametz-heavy pasta and pitas, are likely off the table for the week. Because of my experience not only as a mom, but also as a dietitian, I like to give my family the option to build their own meals. This offers kids, the youngest diners in particular, a level of independence, while also ensuring that the options available are nourishing and something that each person likes. This often means I'm doing a "build your own bowl" or "build your own soup" bar for dinner, satisfying my needs for a nutritious, adult-friendly dinner and offering a variety of kid-friendly options as well. But don't be fooled — this kind of meal can be easily assembled using in...

pepper steak recipe :: Article Creator Tuna Steaks With Lemon Caper Sauce Grilled tuna can be satisfying even when unadorned, but our go-to sauce for tuna steak brings out its best with a pleasant tartness to balance the rich meatiness of the fish. A quick broil or sear on the grill and the tuna steaks are ready to go, while the low-fuss vinaigrette featuring lemon and capers comes together in seconds with just a handful of ingredients. The Italian-inflected combo is bound to become a summer weeknight staple. Frequently Asked Questions Not the mildest fish but still moderately neutral in taste, tuna pairs well with many ingredients. Served raw, it pairs best with citrusy and salty ingredients, especially light and bright flavors like lemon, lime, ginger, sesame, and soy. Cooked tuna holds up well to creamy sauces or oilier dressings — like this silky emulsion of lemon juice and good olive oil — and ingredients with more umami, like toma...

fried pork chops :: Article Creator Pan-Fried Pork Chops Bring To Mind Lisa Simpson There's a scene in Season 7, Episode 5 of the eternal animated sitcom "The Simpsons" in which perpetual 8-year-old Lisa Simpson announces to her family that she will no longer eat meat of any kind. Her father, the oafish and omnivorous Homer Simpson, is skeptical. "Lisa, honey … are you saying you're never going to eat an animal again?" he asks, clearly as incredulous as he is deathly jaundiced. "No," she says. Still doubtful, Homer questions his daughter directly about the types of food she'd no longer ingest. Bacon? No. Ham? No. Pork chops? "Dad," Lisa exclaims, "those all come from the same animal." Homer laughs and, in his most sarcastic tone, fingers wiggling through the air as if casting spells, he responds, "Yeah, right, Lisa. A wonderful, magical animal." This cl...
