The Quick Side Dish I Make Every Week (It’s Even Better than Broccoli)
Every time I cook Broccolini, I wonder why I don’t cook it more often. It’s basically broccoli‘s tastier cousin. The best way to prepare it is also the simplest: Toss it in a hot pan with olive oil and lots of sliced garlic until it’s vibrantly green and tender. It’s the kind of easy eating that will never grow old. If you’ve never cooked Broccolini before, here’s your gateway recipe. There’s very little prep involved.

Quinoa has come a long way — all the way from the back shelves of health food stores to national supermarket aisles. Its high protein content, sweet and nutty flavor, and delicate texture have made quinoa a popular whole grain substitute for starchier pasta and rice (although once you try it, you’re not likely to think of it as a “substitute” again!). Nutty quinoa is an easy grain to love, and it’s one of the most delicious, fast-cooking pantry staples we know.
