How to Revive Dead Soil

How to Revive Dead Soil
When I moved into my home, the front yard was gray and lifeless. The previous owners, in lieu of landscaping, had put a layer of rocks over the entire front yard, which meant that the soil beneath was devoid of all life.

Grate a Tomato on Your Breakfast Sandwich

Grate a Tomato on Your Breakfast Sandwich
I am a terrible gardener, but I still somehow managed to grow a whole bunch of (very small) tomatoes. Those tomatoes are really coming in right now, but they’re simply not big enough for slicing.

Life Is Better With These Cinnamon Corn Cookies

Life Is Better With These Cinnamon Corn Cookies
With all the savory odes-to-corn out in the world, I thought it was time to lengthen the dessert list. Corn has the versatility to be an herby salad, covered in cotija, served next to ribs or as them, but it’s also undeniably sweet. I’m a dessert girl at heart, so grab an extra ear or a bag of the frozen stuff, and… Read...

Make a Time Capsule With Radical Honesty

Make a Time Capsule With Radical Honesty
I loved the idea of time capsules when I was kid. I used to grab action figures and pogs that I didn’t want anymore and bury them in a box marked “do not open for 20 years,” and imagine a future earthling in a silver spacesuit puzzling over what the strange artifacts mean. I forgot where I buried them all, of course. Read...

You Should Air Fry Your Peaches

You Should Air Fry Your Peaches
I could eat a peach for hours, especially a juicy, fully-ripe, in-season peach. But such luscious delights are increasingly hard to come by, even in the summer months. “Just okay” peaches are much more common, and they have their uses: A little sugar, a little butter, a little heat, and you can transform a not-quite-… Read...

Your BLT Needs This Stealth Bacon
A BLT is a pretty perfect sandwich. I don’t thing I need to explain why the combination of crispy, salty bacon, crunchy lettuce, creamy mayo, and juicy tomatoes taste good together.
