Growing up Hispanic in West Texas, one of the many things summer brings with it is cacti. The prickly plant may not seem like a great sign of things to come. Honestly, it may sound horrible unless you're a javelina or a camel, which actually eat cactus. But did you know that humans have also been eating cactus for hundreds of years? Cacti are one of the best foods out there because of how flexible it is. So many things can be done with it by cooks. I know most millennials will joke about how cactus juice will quench your thirst and give you visions like in Avatar: The Last Airbender,  but it's actually an all-around food powerhouse. Cactus, AKA  nopales , have to be picked when new cactus pads are still maturing. Usually my ancestors whisper into my ear and tell me which ones are ready to be picked. During the time that the cactus pads are maturing, they'll also sprout bulbs on the older pads that are no longer good for...

No matter when you are reading this, it's always a good time to think about your next breakfast. If you have a go-to banana pancake recipe, it could be upgraded with overripe bananas. According to Kitchn, the bananas can be added in slices as the batter is settling on the pan, or they can be previously pureed and combined into the mix. Either way, the pancakes will have extra moisture and sweetness thanks to the overripe bananas. Try combining them with melted dark chocolate to add that bitter punch to your morning, or even cacao nibs on top. But, for those with a sweet tooth, maple syrup or honey will be just fine. If you're on team meal prep, you can plan on baking nutritious banana breakfast cookies ahead of time. A quick and easy version from Allrecipes yields breakfast for a week and requires just three very ripe bananas and other staples like oats, cinnamon, and yogurt. If you prefer, use almond flour to make gluten-friendly banana cookies. Store the...

Another suitable method for reheating multiple hard-boiled eggs is steaming them, according to Pantry and Larder. They say that this method works well, but involves a lot of unnecessary effort because the hot water works just as well. If you don't have a steamer, use a traditional pot, colander, and lid for this reheating method. Boil water in the lower compartment of the steamer (or the pot if you're using one). Place the eggs inside the steamer basket or pot, and cover with a lid. Allow the eggs to warm for two to three minutes, flipping them halfway during heating. Carefully remove the — hot! — eggs, peel, and serve. Taste of Home lists various recipes that include hard-boiled eggs such as tuna or egg salad for sandwiches. Boiled eggs also taste great diced in almond chicken salad or macaroni salad. If you have leftover hard-boiled eggs, heed the FDA's advice and eat them within one week of cooking.
