You know deviled eggs have made a comeback when they’re on almost every hipster menu in America. I love that something like a deviled egg can be a hipster favorite while also being the most coveted item brought to a potluck, usually by an older woman who dishes out advice as good as her food. […]

Pumpkin Muffins
Here’s the plain truth: making a quick bread takes too long in the oven (50 minutes!). If I’m going to bake something, I want it fast. Therefore, I always make quick breads and muffins in my tiny cupcake tin, making them just the right size to eat three—which is still less calories than eating one […]
Steamed Clams with Browned Butter
Steamed clams are a major Rodale family tradition. And it can’t be any old butter. It’s got to be browned butter! Long before I was born, my grandparents had a clambake for their employees every summer. And I grew up anticipating the yearly treat of a bunch of clams in a net sack, steamed and […]

And they’re so good that it’s too much bother to think about how to sell them when you can just eat them. How good are they? My teenager and her friend asked me to make them. And then they ate them…all.
Broccoli Cheese Puffs from Scratch
I woke up on Super Bowl Sunday thinking about broccoli cheese puffs. I had cooked a head of broccoli the night before and had leftovers. Thought it would be fun to start the day with some canapés! These are so easy you can actually make them for a party and it’s no big deal. They’ll be gone in a flash.
Super Bowl Snack: Easy Guacamole
by guest blogger Maya Rodale. There are only two things I like about sports: 1) dramatic moments of triumph accompanied by the entire stadium erupting in cheers and 2) the food!
