Need a little midday nosh? Try this for an afternoon snack: Here are the food links that our Editors are loving from around the web.

Famed and flame-haired Mission Chinese chef Danny Bowien will open a 2-day pop-up restaurant in Oklahoma City to support tornado relief efforts. Though he's made his name in SF and NY, Bowien hails from sooner state. [Grubstreet]

Even greens need to stay on-trend and apparently kale is so last season. Looks like collard greens are all the rage. [Details]

While we're at it, butterscotch is having a moment. Here's how to make the real thing. [NPR]

Would you eat a pizza that came out of a printer? Some think 3D-printed food could end world hunger. [Mashable]

Something huge is happening this weekend.

Arrested Development is returning with a whole slew of new episodes on May 26 and, here at EDF, we couldn't be more excited. Really! And while we won't suggest you break out the Cornballer -- or take a bunch of Teamocil -- we had to recognize this momentous event. Our own Sarah Carey celebrates our favorite shows return with her own recipe for frozen bananas. Check it out -- but NO TOUCHING!

Today's Recipe: Grilled Pepper Bruschetta

Posted by

The grilled bread in this recipe is really just a vehicle for delicious summer flavors -- but what a great one it is! Cook up a few more slices than you think you'll need (when we made this at home, we set out leftover tomato-pepper-caper topping in a serving bowl and dug in with the extra bread -- sharing made it into an instant party!).

This dish comes together with equal parts pantry and fridge ingredients. Here's what you'll need:

  • 2 orange bell peppers, halved lengthwise
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 3 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Coarse salt and ground pepper
  • 8 slices crusty bread, toasted
  • 1 ounce Parmesan cheese, shaved

Get the recipe.

A Green Smoothie That's Kid-Friendly (Really!), A Paula Deen Museum, Plus More Food Headlines to Chew On

Posted by

This Herbed Goat Cheese that's almost too pretty to eat (even though it's not carved)!

Need a little midday nosh? Try this for an afternoon snack: Here are the food links that our Editors are loving from around the web.

Looks like there's going to be a museum dedicated to Paula Deen. We're confused. [Eater]

But, we're also really excited to learn that a woman in Wisconsin is a professional, full-time cheese carver. Her specialty? Cheddar roller coasters. [Food Republic]

Down on dairy? Make this totally kid-friendly green smoothie. If you're shocked, you've never pureed frozen bananas before (don't worry, we hadn't thought of adding them in either!). [YummyPackedLunches via TheKtchn]

Memorial Day is all about meat. But if you're looking for a healthy (and surprisingly chic!) post-BBQ dessert, consider this all-red fruit salad. It's a bit of monochromatic genius! [101 Cookbooks]

Posted by

Welcome to My Kitchen Pantry, where we sneak a glimpse inside the kitchens of some of our favorite chefs and serious home cooks to try and uncover their can't-live-without everyday foods. We'll kick off this section by checking out the ever-evolving shelves of EDF's own Editor in Chief Sarah Carey.

Where are the capers, Sarah?

"I buy things that can I work with, not marinades or crappy stuff. I'd always pass on tomato sauce to make my own version with good, canned tomatoes."-Sarah Carey

Want to bulk up your pantry? Sarah says hers is never without the following staple ingredients:

  • canned tomatoes and tomato paste
  • olive oil
  • pasta
  • canned tuna
  • capers
  • anchovies
  • range of spices
  • white and brown rice
  • lentils and other dried beans
  • canned black beans and chickpeas
