Greetings

40 Jeanne Sidner, Chief Content Officer

Starting Fresh The Taste of Home team always has so much fun planning our April/ May issue because we do it in the deepest, darkest part of winter, when the mere thought of the freshness of spring can lift our spirits. Now, it’s finally here, and a tasty place to jump-start the season is with our bright, citrusy cover cheesecake (page 52). It’s the perfect recipe to help you welcome the return to warmer days. Check out our yummy spring brunch menu (“Morning, Y’all!,” page 40) to entice your family to linger at the table, and find your new favorite healthier dish from the winners of our Healthy Your Way contest (page 69). And in the spirit of the new beginnings that spring delivers, we have an exciting announcement! We’ve launched a brand-new insider group called Community Cooks (a fun refresh of our Volunteer Field Editor program) to bring you closer to the team at Taste of Home! If you’re a Taste of Home superfan who loves to develop your own delicious recipes, finds inspiration in a variety of flavors, enjoys trying the latest cooking gadgets (hello, air fryer!) and relishes talking all things food, we can’t wait to meet you. Even better, we can’t wait to share what’s happening in your kitchen with our millions-strong audience. (Meet one of our new Community Cooks, Molly Winsten, on page 10!) We hope you’ll apply today. To learn more about becoming a Taste of Home Community Cook, visit tasteofhome.com/communitycooks. Here’s to new beginnings!

From Mother’s Day to bridal showers, serve a special brunch with a bit of southern hospitality.

Anna Francese Gass’ quest to master an heirloom recipe led to an inspiring new cookbook.

VIL NASH

Kickin’ Chicken

Doused in a cayenne-rich sauce and served with a slice of white bread and some pickle chips, this fiery fowl has skyrocketed in popularity even beyond Music City in recent years. Reportedly, it all started in the 1930s in the Nashville kitchen of Thornton Prince. Prince had come home from a late night out, and his girlfriend was none too happy about it. For payback the next morning, she fried up a batch of chicken and loaded on the hot pepper and spices—but her punishment backfired. Prince went wild for the spicy chicken and soon after opened what is now Prince’s Hot Chicken on the city’s south side. Prince’s is still going strong nearly 90 years later, and it has inspired a flock of new hot chicken joints that have popped up all over Nashville—and across the nation.

Air-Fryer Nashville Hot Chicken I live in Tennessee and absolutely love the famous Nashville hot chicken. In an attempt to make it easier to prepare, I thought I’d try cooking it in my air fryer.

Licorice Salt

Flavored salts can add a crack of unexpected flavor to so many dishes, and our latest obsession is this licorice-tinged variety inspired by Scandinavia’s love of a curious confection called salmiak—essentially heavily salted licorice. For a subtle hint of salty sweetness, incorporate it into chocolate desserts, sprinkle over popcorn, add to roasted veggies and swirl into hot cocoa.

LOVIN’ Inside Out

ON LEMONS

This zippy citrus fruit lends a tasty punch to roasted veggies, soups, salads and more while delivering powerhouse nutrients to keep you feeling bright from head to toe.

Packed with vitamin C, one lemon provides a good-foryou dose of antioxidants—the superhero chemicals that help protect cells from damaging free radicals. Lemons also help maintain the body’s fluid balance and improve muscle and cell functions.

Improve your immune system. Whether you want to reduce the duration of a cold or decrease the severity of symptoms, vitamin C enhances your immune system to help protect you from illness.

Lower cancer risk. Eating lots of vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables might reduce risk of breast, lung and

colon cancers. Beyond the juices, lemons contain cancer-fighting fiber and phytochemicals in their peels.

Heal from within. Your body taps into the power of vitamin C to help repair and maintain bones, cartilage and teeth. What’s more, vitamin C helps the body produce collagen to help wounds heal.

Brighten your nails. Thanks to the citric acid in lemons, you can instantly perk up your fingernails and toenails. Whip up a hydrating mixture of 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to help remove buildup and boost brightness) with 3 tablespoons coconut oil (to help strengthen and condition) for a quick rejuvenating treatment.

LEMON, GINGER & TURMERIC INFUSED WATER Mix 1 Tbsp. ground turmeric, 4 slices fresh gingerroot, ¹ ₂ lemon, sliced, and 2 qt. water in a large glass carafe or pitcher. Cover; chill 12-24 hours. Makes four 2-cup servings.

SHINY, HAPPY & HEALTHY PET EXPERTS WEIGH IN ON THE SURPRISING BENEFITS OF THREE DIETARY OILS YOU CAN SHARE WITH YOUR FURRY FRIENDS.

COCONUT OIL

“All fats can benefit skin and coat health,” says Gary Richter, veterinarian, author of The Ultimate Pet Health Guide and founder of Ultimate Pet Nutrition. “Some fats, such as coconut oil, have antibacterial properties and may improve dental health.” Coconut oil can also help boost metabolism, support thyroid function and improve dry skin.

APRIL/MAY 2021 TASTEOFHOME.COM

Richter says fish oil is the best option for combating joint pain and inflammation because it contains EPA and DHA, which are omega-3 fatty acids with anti-inflammatory properties. The American Kennel Club notes that fish oil supports a dog’s heart health, strengthens its immune system, promotes a silky coat, reduces dry skin and provides allergy relief.

FISH OIL

“The health benefits of CBD oil include shiny hair coats, calmed nerves, and reduced joint pain and inflammation,” says Carol Osborne, an integrative veterinarian with Chagrin Falls Veterinary Center & Pet Clinic in Ohio. CBD oil might also help stimulate appetite, reduce anxiety and stress, manage epileptic seizures and control vomiting. Osborne cautions against giving CBD oil to pets with liver issues, warning that it is known to cause adverse effects on liver health and function in dogs and cats.

Certain oils can boost your pet’s health. Some fight inflammation; others reduce anxiety or enhance a shiny coat. But knowing which oil is best for your pet depends on the animal’s specific health needs and what’s already in its diet. According to Michael San Filippo, an American Veterinary Medical Association spokesperson, “Our general advice is to consult your veterinarian before administering oils to address or prevent health issues.” Some pet-specific factors the vet will take into consideration are the animal’s age and weight, as well as any underlying health conditions and medications. We spoke to two experts in the field who offered their insights on the three best oils for pets.

MDD, a type of depression, is multiple symptoms that can hold you back, like sadness, loss of interest, low energy, difficulty concentrating or indecisiveness, and trouble with sleep. *TRINTELLIX may help provide overall relief from MDD in adults. Overall score of symptom reduction was measured on a standardized depression rating scale in clinical trials. Individual results may vary. In short-term studies, based on a standardized depression rating scale, the therapeutic effect of TRINTELLIX was generally seen starting at week 2, with the full effect generally not seen until week 4 or later. TRINTELLIX had no significant impact on weight in clinical trials. Some reports of weight gain have been received since product approval.

Baking in Brooklyn southern roots, but now Shanika is transforming classic comfort foods into vegan delicacies with her family in NYC.

S TORY BY M ANDY NAGLICH PHOTOGR A PHY BY M AT THEW E LLIS M AKEUP BY MELISA M ARTIN

FAMILY KITCHEN

F SHANIKA GRAHAM-WHITE WANTED WINGS FOR DINNER, SHE WAS GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE THEM FOR HERSELF. And that’s just what she

did growing up in Florida. “My family is from Jamaica, so they were always making more traditional island foods.” Since the age of 11, she’s been experimenting with recipes for the foods she craved, like pancakes and cheesecake. Of course, she would make enough to share with the whole family when she prepared her favorite comfort foods. Today she shares those craveworthy creations with thousands of followers on Orchids + Sweet Tea, a blog that combines her design sensibility (orchids) with her southern upbringing (sweet tea). “In the South,” she says, “food is major, especially big breakfasts and all those decadent desserts.” A scroll through her Instagram reveals pictures of golden waffles, baked oatmeal dotted with fresh fruit, and syrupy sticky buns—enough to work up anyone’s appetite. In the spring, Shanika loves to put her zippy Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Doughnuts on the breakfast table. The word vegan in front of doughnut shouldn’t be discouraging; it’s nearly impossible to tell that these delightful baked and glazed confections contain no dairy or eggs. Shanika has taken years to perfect her vegan recipes to keep them light, sweet and fluffy—and downright delicious no matter what your diet. “I’ve tricked my family a few times—I’ll bake

something vegan and I won’t tell them until after they’re done,” she says. “They’re always shocked!” Getting that perfect, fluffy doughnut texture is all about the amount of moisture in the batter. “Even an extra tablespoon of liquid can make these too dense,” she says. Shanika suggests being very precise with the measurements and adding the liquid slowly. If things get too wet, hold some of the liquid back. Another tip for avoiding flat, heavy doughnuts is allowing them to cool for a few minutes in the open oven after turning off the heat. As they slowly cool, the structure of the doughnuts solidifies to produce the cakelike yet airy texture that breakfast dreams are made of. To arrive at these tips and tricks, Shanika has done many rounds of testing in her Brooklyn apartment. The trusted taste testers are her husband and 5-year-old. “The doughnuts with sprinkles are his favorite,” she says of her son. “And my husband is originally from Brooklyn, so he’s really a pizza man.” As much as her southern heart loves a baked treat, Shanika does think about a well-rounded life for her family. She says she’s looking for balance in their diet, so she shares recipes for healthy bowls and nutritious meals on her blog, too. Her most Instagrammed recipes are a perfect portrayal of this balance: blueberry muffins, cozy banana bread, and a light and refreshing cucumber detox drink. She says a balanced day can absolutely start with a doughnut, especially when it’s vegan.

APRIL/MAY 2021 TASTEOFHOME.COM

For busy home cooks, the microwave truly does seem like magic. It’s a must for zapping leftovers, defrosting frozen items, melting butter and so much more. Microwaves are a necessity in most kitchens, but we also know that it can be difficult to find a good one—you know, one that has the right popcorn button, one that doesn’t leave cold spots in your food, or one that makes life easier. But those finer points aren’t always captured on the specs on the side of the box. You’ll never know if the microwave has a chime that’s too loud or presets that are just right for your cooking style. That’s why our Test Kitchen snagged the most popular countertop microwave brands to test side by side. We wanted to know which were best for home kitchens (and our Test Kitchen, too!). To test countertop microwaves, we devised a series of tests. We wanted to see how the ovens did melting chocolate, reheating soup, boiling water, steaming broccoli, popping popcorn and making a few microwave recipes. Our kitchen crew also kept some criteria in mind. Because countertop space is so precious, we carefully considered each microwave’s size: small enough to comfortably fit on a counter, but roomy enough inside to fit larger dinner plates or casserole dishes. We also made note of noise, ease of operation, evenness of heating, noteworthy features and the overall appearance of the appliance. After myriad microwave tests, these four zapped their way to the top of our list. Each holds its own standout feature, so you can choose which model fits for your family—and your kitchen.

TRY THIS RECIPE!

Best Small-Scale Breville’s Smooth Wave microwave’s streamlined appearance is just part of its appeal. It fits dinner plates or a 9x9 casserole dish, is extra quiet, and leaves no cold or hot spots when reheating soup. For smaller households, this microwave works like magic.

Grand Prize Gluten-Free Brownie Bars

LINDA SPERANZA Grand Prize Winner WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO CREATE THESE GLUTEN-FREE GOODIES? I was looking at an old cookbook, and in it was a recipe that had peanut butter as a base for a bar cookie. I went from there. I enjoy crumbling these over nondairy ice cream. WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR OTHER FAVORITE CREATIONS THAT FOLLOW YOUR DIETARY RESTRICTIONS? I developed a pie recipe with mashed potatoes as the filling over gluten-free pastry. It’s Southwestinspired. It has tomatoes, green chiles, onions and cheese in the filling. I also enjoy a vegetable stew with mixed fresh vegetables, and again, this recipe has green chiles. I use small whole potatoes as one of the vegetables to make it extra filling. WHAT’S YOUR BEST-LOVED KITCHEN TOOL OR GADGET? Nothing fancy! I like a good frying pan, a heavy Dutch oven, a variety of wellbalanced knives and a food processor. I also use a slow cooker for my vegetable stew. It’s nice to have something that allows me to go and work in the garden or in my pottery studio while it does the cooking. HAVE YOU ENTERED A COOKING CONTEST BEFORE? Yes, I entered several contests more than 25 years ago, and I won a first-place award for a steak salad recipe!

FOOD BLESSINGS IN A BOX

LEAVE WHAT YOU CAN…TAKE WHAT YOU NEED.

Dahlheim of Charleston, South Carolina, in early 2017. She just didn’t know what, until she read about Jessica McClard, an Arkansas woman who was operating an anonymous food pantry. Katie loved the idea of a pantry where it’s easy for donors to drop off contributions and for those in need to pick up items without strings (or paperwork) attached. “The problem was, I live on a cul-de-sac, where nobody is just sort of happening by,” she says. “So I thought maybe instead of having only one pantry, I’d try to find businesses, churches or other people to help me make a little network of them.” That’s how the Lowcountry Blessing Box Project got started. The boxes are similar to Little Free Libraries that have popped up across the country. Katie began building a few by adapting cabinets she found at her local Habitat for Humanity ReStore and adorning each one with a decal that reads, “Leave what you can. Take what you need.” She went online and publicized the project, and soon the completed boxes were picked up from her garage, installed and stocked at various locations. A donor who was inspired by Blessing Boxes gave Katie $500, which she used to organize volunteers to build even more. Katie got the word out through local news channels, setting up a website and promoting the project on social media. Learn more about Lowcountry Today, there are 168 Blessing Boxes Blessing Box Project by visiting it at facebook.com/ throughout South Carolina’s low country, chsblessingbox. the coastal area south of Myrtle Beach. In addition to nonperishable foods, the boxes often contain diapers, sunscreen, formula, school supplies and dental hygiene products. Katie suspects that many of those who are using the boxes are single parents, elderly, college students, people going through a medical crisis and people picking up items for others. “I don’t actually know,” she says. “And that’s the point…you don’t need to know because you’re putting that can of corn in the box for whoever needs it, and that’s that.”

HELP FOR THOSE IN NEED People in rural areas continue to suffer the most from the effects of hunger.

13.3% of all people in rural areas lived below the poverty line in 2019, compared with 10% of people in urban areas.

1 in 3 low-income American families struggle to afford basic nonfood household goods.

11.8% is the food insecurity rate in South Carolina.

WHY I COOK

San Clemente, CA

Saleswoman, bookkeeper, recipe developer and now CEO, Karen Caplan has played just about every role at Frieda’s Specialty Produce, a wholesaler known for its delightfully different offerings. When her mother, Frieda Rapoport Caplan, founded the company in 1962, she was a trailblazer in the industry, and Karen, even in her youth, was happy to follow suit.

Frieda’s claim to fam popularizin e: kiwifruit, w g h she named, ich in America.

Tell us about your beginnings in the produce business. Working for my mom was always my summer job, so one thing led to another. And not by her recommendation, invitation or choice, I decided that I loved sales and that I loved the produce business. So I decided to call my mom one day and say, “Can I come work with you after college?”

FRIEDA INTRODUCED MORE THAN 200 FRUITS AND VEGGIES TO U.S. SUPERMARKETS DURING HER CAREER.

What’s your most valuable lesson from your mother? I learned how important it is to be nice to everyone. My mom passed away in January 2020 at the age of 96. What was amazing, especially at her memorial, was hearing others speak about her kindness.

What’s your fave recipe to make with Frieda’s Specialty Produce? My favorite recipe is the Stokes Purple sweet potato pie. It’s made with coconut milk, cinnamon and nutmeg. My partner, Jack, took one bite and couldn’t stop eating it. He had a piece every day for a week until we were done with the pie. You look at something purple, and you’re like, “You want me to eat this?” But then you taste it. It’s really fun. Any advice for parents with picky eaters? Kids should go to the store with their parents and pick out the fruits and vegetables they like! Make it a game, as opposed to “Here’s your spinach; eat it.”

SCOOP DRAGON FRUIT WITH A MELON BALLER TO GIVE FRUIT SALADS A TASTY TWIST.
