Several weeks ago, my mom gave me a fresh bunch of parsley. And I let it sit in my fridge for another few weeks. It was beginning to lose its luster and wilt, but I knew I didn’t need to toss it. When foods start to turn bad in our kitchen, what do we do? [...]

If I had to pick my top choice for whole grains this summer, the award would go to bulgur. Bulgur is a grain made from whole grain red wheat that has been parboiled, dried, and ground. This means that it’s quick cooking too, much like quick cooking oats. Or if you’re like me, no cooking [...]

In an effort to pare down the contents of our kitchen cabinets, I was digging through the other day and rediscovered these: I’ve had these spring roll wrappers that I bought in Chinatown for at least a couple years.
