Hello and welcome to this thing we’re doing where we help you figure out what you’re gonna put in your mouth this week. Some of these are recipes we’ve tried, some of these are recipes we’re looking forward to trying, all of them are fucking delicious. Tell us what you want to put in your piehole or suggest your own recipes, and we’ll talk about which things we made, which things we loved, and which things have changed us irreversibly as people. Last week, we used our crock pots.

Grains! They’re the greatest. Sometimes all you have is a sad little can of beans or a head of broccoli and grains are what save the day to make it an actual meal. Whether they be rice or quinoa or any of a dozen other grains, they’re affordable, nonperishable, and serve you faithfully as side dishes, in salads, in soups, with proteins, in a box, with a fox, etc. There are approximately eight million ways to eat the grains in your pantry; here are a few ideas to get you started.
