And our favorite entertaining ace and quarantine queen Ina Garten agrees. All week on Instagram, Garten’s been sharing how she plans to adapt her recipes for her “#microthanksgiving” that will be a table for four....

pete-malinowski.jpg American Food Hero 2019: Pete Malinowski Who he is: Executive Director, The Billion Oyster Project What he’s doing: Restoring healthy waterways A century ago, nearly half of the world’s oysters came from New York Harbor. They were a staple in the city-vendors sold them from rolling carts long before they hawked hot dogs or pretzels. But greed (in the early 1900s, more than a billion oysters a year were pulled from the water) and rampant pollution put an end to that....

Welcome to Thrifty. A weekly column where assistant nutrition editor and registered dietitian, Jessica Ball, keeps it real on how to grocery shop on a budget, make healthy meals for one or two, and make earth-friendly choices without overhauling your entire life. With each day spent living and working from home, it can be hard to consistently feel motivated and energized. And it seems like no matter how much I sleep, I still get groggy around 2 P....

two men standing in a cheese factory Credit: Brett Simison “In some artisan-cheese circles, there’s this idea that if you’re not breaking your back, sacrificing your body at the altar of this preconception of quality, you’re not for real,” says Jasper Hill Farm CEO Mateo Kehler of the hard manual labor typically required in the business. He and his brother Andy—along with their spouses, Angie and Victoria—bought into this ethos when they started making cheese on their rural Greensboro, Vermont, farmstead in 2003....

No one ever complains that dining at Mozzeria is too loud. In fact, the popular wood-fired pizza restaurant in San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood is often full of diners, clustered around the Stefano Ferrara pizza oven at its heart. But even when every table is full, noise is never a problem. That’s because Mozzeria’s main language is American Sign Language. “Mozzeria is a pizzeria, but at the same time, we’re known as a deaf-centric, deaf-owned and deaf-operated restaurant,” says manager Bentley Fink....

You may have seen the name “calamansi” pop up on a sparkling water label or as a beverage in your local grocery lately. Not to be confused with “calamari” (it’s not squid), calamansi is also known as a “calamondin” or “Philippine lime.” The citrus fruit has been a staple of Filipino and Southeast Asian cooking for ages. The flavor is a very tart combination of lemon, lime and orange. Where to Find Calamansi As a native to the Philippines and Southeast Asia, calamansi grows on trees that thrive in Mediterranean and subtropical climates....

Brown/Getty Images TJ’s Coronavirus Credit: Frederic J. Brown/Getty Images Not all heroes wear capes. Sometimes they wear Hawaiian shirts (or polos). That’s certainly the case for the crew members at Trader Joe’s (and other grocery stores) working hard to keep us healthy and nourished in the midst of pandemic. We asked a Trader Joe’s employee our burning questions about what it’s like to be a grocery store employee during the coronavirus outbreak....

Nonalcoholic wines are becoming increasingly popular. But with so many good options available, how do you know which bottle is best? We tapped Breana Killeen, M.P.H., RD, who is a trained sommelier, to get all of her expert recommendations. “As a wine lover, I had to find nonalcoholic options when I was pregnant with my twins last year....

Our immune systems are crucial for keeping us healthy, since they help protect us from outside “invaders” such as bacteria, viruses, toxins and more. The topic of immunity has become especially relevant during the COVID-19 pandemic. Though having a strong immune system alone isn’t enough to avoid the coronavirus (social distancing, masking up, regular hand-washing and getting the vaccine are all still the best ways to protect yourself), supporting your immune system is still important—especially as cold and flu season approaches....

Baked Brie with Blackberry Jam Credit: Jamie Vespa, M.S., R.D. Baked cheese is taking over the internet. The idea of putting cheese in the oven until it’s melty, gooey and delicious resurfaced with a viral TikTok hack for baked feta. It transforms the humble cheese into a flavorful appetizer or the start of a decadent pasta. But why stop at feta? We think this trend would flatter a variety of dairy products....

Stir-Fried Chinese Broccoli Stir-Fried Chinese Broccoli Stir-Fried Chinese Broccoli Stir-Fried Chinese Broccoli As someone who works in the food industry, I have strong, albeit niche, opinions about lots of random topics. And there is one topic I have many feelings about: chopsticks. Growing up in a Chinese American household, chopsticks were as common on the dinner table as forks. I have countless stories that start with a pair of chopsticks and end with me having to clean a greasy stain out of my clothes....

Dealing with constipation is not pleasant. Between the bloating, straining and overall discomfort, it makes sense why people may turn to any remedy that offers the promise of fast relief. To help people who are struggling, Bethany Ugarte-Cameron (@lilsipper on Instagram), offered a unique remedy for helping people “instantly poop.” In an Instagram reel, Ugarte-Cameron shared her constipation remedy, which involves washing an orange under warm water, slicing into wedges, then generously coating each wedge in cinnamon and cayenne pepper before eating the whole thing—peel and all....

If you are on the keto diet, you’re probably cutting way back on carbs (down to under 25 net grams a day) and bulking up on fats (to meet about 80 percent of your daily calories), but it’s not just a matter of keeping macronutrients in check. While we’re not the biggest fans of the keto diet at EatingWell (learn more about the science behind the keto diet in our beginner’s guide), we also want you to do what’s best for your personal lifestyle....

From filming her Food Network show with a cell phone at her home ranch kitchen to hilariously attempting TikTok challenges with her family, we’re becoming bigger and bigger fans of the more casual, relatable Ree Drummond that’s emerging in 2020. (And we like her even more since she ditched keto for this healthier lifestyle strategy!) So we’ve been keeping a keen eye on what she’s been cooking up on her latest on-air episodes, especially as the holiday season approaches and her creations often offer a nice balance of indulgence, flavor and a bit of nutrition....

There are 6.2 million people living with Alzheimer’s disease in the U.S. alone, making it the fifth leading cause of death in the country. That’s roughly 1 in 9 people over age 65, and that number is estimated to go up due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, these stats mean that many of us likely know someone with dementia or Alzheimer’s and may even have a family history of cognitive-related conditions....
