3 Ways to Spruce Up Pasta
Who doesn’t love pasta?! It is a great and versatile dish that can be made countless ways. It can be made for lunch or dinner and scales easily from a single portion to feeding a large crowd. The cook time is relatively fast and it doesn’t require a lot of fancy equipment (no, a pot and a strainer are not fancy. Plus, you don’t even need the strainer if you can use the pot lid to separate the pasta from the water). But as great as pasta is, after making it too many times, it can get a bit stale and boring. So here are some quick and easy ways to spruce up your pasta and impress your friends and family (as well as your stomach!)

Loveless Cafe has been a staple of the Nashville community and what I like to call the world wide community of soul food lovers, or the WWCOFS for short. Many people know this genre of food as soul food, meat and three, southern, or even comfort food. As a native of Nashville, I have been coming to Loveless since before I was born. For a while all the hype was true, Loveless was the best place to go if you want real southern food. However, more than just management changed years ago, and it hasn't been able to restore the former quality that everyone from this town remembers. Now Loveless is busier than they ever have been and the food isn't even half as good. Now, this next piece of information isn't something to go spreading around to everyone you know visiting or living in Nashville. The reason this place is special is because there aren't herds of people being bussed in to wait 45 minutes in line for cheese grits slathered in a stack of Kraft American singles to the point you feel like you're drinking processed cheese whiz with a sprinkle of grits. You won't feel like you are inside a chain restaurant owned by Opryland. There isn't anyone trying to sell you merchandise while you are cooped up in the waiting area trying to decide whether or not you want to wait any longer for this food.
Easy to Make Crock Pot Dinners for Two
If you're like me, you will spend a large portion of your day working at an office, hours away from home. However, once night falls, it's dating time — if you are actually not about to collapse from a lack of work.
Cato ConroyPublished 7 years ago in FeastThe First Sign of Summer
Recently, as the NYC weather finally starting getting better, my boyfriend and I began the season-long "what do you want to do today" argument, because warm weather means emerging out of the comfort of your Blanket Burrito and Netflix, and returning to the outside world. As always, I'm going to want to go out to eat. The issue with that though is the simple fact that neither of us is the richest person alive—or even richest in our neighborhood. The struggle to find good food on a budget is super real, and oftentimes leads to some sort of bickering.

Cooking is one of the most human acts that you can perform. The art of cooking is something that has bonded people together, become a part of our cultural identities, and also become part of our history. Though the very basics of cooking never seem to change, the truth is that cooking styles do change over the years.

When the first of the summer vegetable and fruit crops start to ripen, simple preparations are all that are wanted. A ripe peach or watermelon eaten by hand with their juices dripping down chins and hands is just perfect. So is corn on the cob, steamed or boiled, with butter and salt. Or fresh zucchini sautéed in olive oil and garlic.

Just GrubbinPublished 7 years ago in FeastUsing Your Noodle to Surf
I remember the noodle houses in the train station at Abiko Station in Tokyo. I'd arrive when it got dark and the white bright lamps would be attracting moths that would dance around each light seeming to celebrate their own traditional Japanese affairs. It was humid and during that train ride I was usually packed in like a sardine with all the other passengers. Many would pile in at Ueno Station and the people on the outside would get pressed up against the glass. Arriving at Abiko station was perfect as the cool breeze complimented with the freedom of the outdoors and proved to be dual relief from the moments that had ticked by previously. It was on these occasions that steam rose up into the high ceilings of the train station platforms and gave off the smell of boiling noodles and breaded delicacies.
