Lots at Chow.com: cutting back on salt, saving a burnt pot of soup (just in time for soup season), autumnal salad recipes, other fall-ingredient recipes including a delicious-looking seven-veg soup, and a video review of Green Giant “Seasoned Steamers” veggie sides.
From Darya at Summer Tomato, the single most important thing on a food label: the ingredients list. “Real food is made from real ingredients, things you should recognize. Real food is not made with unpronounceable chemicals, dough conditioners, preservatives, or 14 different kinds of sugar. Why does Wonder Bread contain Datem and/or Azodicarbonamide? Because its manufacturers want it to have a shelf life that extends beyond the apocalypse. That way when the zombies run out of brains to eat they can still buy Wonder Bread.”
Per Andrew Weil, stair climbing (on real stairs) is a great workout and going up is less stressful on your knees than going down. So walk up, take the elevator down. From Grist, menhaden and blue mussels are back in Long Island Sound after years of being polluted out! Smitten Kitchen has a recipe for homemade chicken noodle soup – she vocally scorns “delis that keep a batch of soup at a low simmer 24/7, until the noodles are gummy and the bits of chicken taste like death itself”, recipes that start with canned chicken broth, and the very idea of cooking a chicken and then discarding the meat. Snack Girl makes healthier caramel apples. (The trick is to use less caramel.) And Sprouted Kitchen has a butter-lettuce salad with honey-and-tahini dressing which sounds intriguing.
And of course there are always food holidays. This Sunday, the 14th, is National Chocolate Covered Insects Day. You can have mine. No, honest, I'm fine, thank you anyway. The day after is simultaneously Roast Pheasant Day, Mushroom Day, and Chicken Cacciatore Day. The 17th, one week from today, is for absolutely no reason I have been able to determine Four Prunes Day.
And the day after tomorrow, October 12th, is the birthday of WW's very own Jean Nidetch.
