You can make salsa fresca two ways – coarsely chop all ingredients and then briefly pulse in a food processor, or finely chop by hand. By far, my preferred method is to hand chop. It takes a bit longer but the results are superior. Pulsing in a food processor, no matter how brief, results in an unappealing, mushy texture. Salsa fresca is best served at room temperature, so make sure to take it out of the fridge an hour or so before serving....

Have a few vegetables and some eggs? Excellent, you can make a frittata! Add a protein and some cheese, and you can make an exceptional frittata. I like my frittatas sturdy, sliceable, and containing a respectable serving of vegetables and protein. These standards (and you should have frittata standards too) mean my frittata recipes tend to lean heavy on the mix-ins. When I want all eggs, I make a scramble....

My newest wish (one that I didn’t know that I had but now pine for desperately) is that sweet potato hash browns replace white potatoes as the standard diner-issue side. They’re decidedly more interesting, delicious, and nutritious than white potatoes. And before you ask—yes, I’ve had what I would consider “good” hash browns and no, I’m still not a hash brown person. While I ordinarily jump behind anything with a crispy exterior and starchy interior (especially if it’s of the tater tots and baked fries variety), regular hash browns never did it for me....
