“Peanut or almond, a simple spread can pack plenty of nutrition into a small serving.” ——- For years, peanut butter seemed to occupy an odd place in the American diet — part childhood comfort food, part guilty pleasure. Yes, it is calorie-dense, with roughly 190 calories in a typical two-tablespoon serving, but those calories come […]
“Why gathering around the table may matter more than we realize.” ——- There was a time when Sunday dinner was almost sacred. Families gathered around the table, usually without televisions, phones or competing schedules, and the meal itself was only part of the attraction. It was a chance to slow down, catch up and simply […]
“Munich’s famous celebration runs through October 4.” ——- If the name Oktoberfest makes you think October, think again. Munich’s 2026 Oktoberfest began Saturday, September 19, and runs through Sunday, October 4, for 16 days on the city’s Theresienwiese. At noon on opening day, Munich’s mayor tapped the first keg with the traditional cry of “O’zapft […]
“Sometimes the best way to experience a country is between two pieces of bread.” ——- You can learn a surprising amount about a country from its sandwiches. They are portable, generally inexpensive and often built from ingredients people have eaten for generations. In France, the croque monsieur turns ham, cheese and bread into a warm café […]
“Where Billy the Kid, Kit Carson & Pancho Villa once roamed.” ——- Sometimes the best meals are found where you least expect them. When my wife and I drive between California and North Texas, the Las Cruces area has become a natural halfway stop. Recently, after an exhausting 11-hour day on the road, we decided […]
“One last taste of summer.” ——- Labor Day weekend is made for slowing down, firing up the grill and enjoying one last taste of summer with family and friends. And there’s really no reason to overcomplicate it. Start with the classics: burgers with all the fixings, hot dogs or sausages, and perhaps some ribs or […]
“A great restaurant serves more than food.” ——- We have never had more ways to get good food without actually going anywhere. Delivery apps can bring dinner to the front door, meal services can eliminate the grocery store, and almost any recipe imaginable is a few clicks away. Yet restaurants continue to offer something that […]
“What the dinner table teaches us about the world.” ——- One of the easiest ways to understand another culture is also one of the most enjoyable: Eat with it. Not merely at the hotel restaurant. Go where local people eat. Walk through the market. Notice when people eat, how long they stay, what they order […]
“The renewed appeal of cooking real food and eating deliberately.” ——- Our relationship with food has accelerated along with everything else. We can have dinner delivered with a few taps on a telephone, eat breakfast in the car and consume lunch while answering email. Convenience certainly has its place, but eating has gradually become another […]
“Evidence over trends.” ——- Nutrition advice can sometimes seem as confusing as the daily headlines, but the fundamentals have remained remarkably consistent. Rather than focusing on fad diets, today’s U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s MyPlate model emphasize building meals around vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins, and dairy or […]
