Stone fruit season runs from May through October, with its peak falling in the late summer. Our Asian Stone Fruit Chicken Bake recipe uses apricots, but feel free to incorporate whatever stone fruit is in season near you. Pennsylvania apricots are best in July. Peaches and nectarines season runs from the end of July to the start of September. Plums can be found mid-July first but are better as the month closes.

Swap out different stone fruits throughout the summer and fall, and let us know what you enjoy most in this easy chicken bake recipe! Simply season all the ingredients on a sheet pan, bake, and boom! A healthy meal as visually appealing as it is delicious.

What Classifies a Stone Fruit?

You know that hard, stone-like pit in the center of some fruit? That’s a stone fruit. Stone fruits are also characterized by their soft and fleshy exteriors, which are often brightly colored and fragrant. Some common examples include peaches, plums, apricots, and cherries. These fruits are generally sweet and juicy, and are often used in a variety of culinary creations, like jams, pies, and desserts.

Allergen-Free Chocolate Treats served with berries on top of a wooden surface

Our friend Liz Fetchin at Octofree is always looking for ways to create good food that is safe for everyone. These Allergen-Free Chocolate Treats are just that: safe and delicious. Satisfy your cravings without compromising dietary needs. The below dairy-free S’mores cups and Quinoa Crunch Berry Cups are free of eight major food allergens.

S’mores Cups Recipe

EQUIPMENT

12 silicone muffin tin liners (or you can use paper liners, but the cups pop out of the silicone ones much easier)
Medium microwave-safe bowl
6 allergen-free graham crackers (I use Kinnikinnick’s S’moreables, available at Soergel’s)

INGREDIENTS

3 10-oz bags of allergen-free chocolate chips or baking chips (I use and recommend Guittard 72% baking chips from Mon Aimee Chocolat in the Strip District)
2 tbsp coconut oil
12 large soy-free marshmallows (I use Smashmallows Churro, Toasted Vanilla, and Cookie Dough flavors, all delicious!)

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place the silicone muffin tin liners into the slots of a muffin tin.
  2. Break or crush the graham crackers into coarse pieces and set aside.
  3. Place the chocolate and coconut oil into a medium-sized, microwave-safe bowl.
  4. Microwave in 30-second increments, stopping to stir each time, until the chocolate is completely melted.
  5. Spoon about half of the chocolate mixture into the bottoms of the muffin tin liners.
  6. Place a couple of pieces of the crushed graham crackers and one marshmallow into each muffin tin on top of the choco-late layer.
  7. Spoon the remainder of the chocolate over top of the marshmallows and graham crackers, covering them completely, then sprinkle the tops with more graham cracker pieces.
  8. Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator for at least 45 minutes to allow the candies to harden.
  9. Pop the chocolates out of their molds and enjoy, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Quinoa Crunch Berry Cups Recipe

EQUIPMENT

12 silicone muffin tin liners (or you can use paper liners, but the cups pop out of the silicone ones much easier)
Medium microwave-safe bowl
Small saute pan

INGREDIENTS

1 cup raw, uncooked quinoa
3 10-ounce bags of allergen-free chocolate chips (I used and would recommend Guittard 72% baking chips from Mon Aimee Chocolat in the Strip District)
2 tbsp coconut oil
Approximately 1 cup raspberry preserves
½ cup shredded coconut, for garnish
1 cup freeze-dried strawberries or raspberries, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place the silicone muffin tin liners into the slots of a muffin tin.
  2. Place the raw quinoa into a small saute pan over medium heat.
  3. Toast the quinoa, stirring often, until slightly brown and fragrant. The quinoa will make popping sounds as it cooks.

  5. Microwave in 30-second increments, stopping to stir each time, until the chocolate is completely melted.
  6. Stir in the toasted quinoa until it’s distributed evenly throughout the chocolate.
  7. Spoon about half of the chocolate mixture into the bottoms of the muffin tin liners.
  8. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of raspberry preserves into each muffin tin in the center of the melted chocolate.
  9. Spoon the remainder of the chocolate over top of the preserves, covering them completely, then sprinkle the tops with shredded coconut and freeze-dried strawberries.

Poetry Lounge Gives a Second Life to Millvale’s Whisper Nest

0
A white male stands behind a bar surrounded by bottles and mixed drinks.

Whisper Nest devotees need not fear that the former Millvale bar will be transformed into something entirely new under the direction of Pittsburgh craft cocktail connoisseur Sean Enright.

In fact, when Enright opens the bar, now known as Poetry Lounge, this September, visitors can expect a very similar experience and environment.

“I don’t really want to change much of anything,” Enright explains to TABLE Magazine. “[Whisper Nest] had such a great ambiance, such a great atmosphere, and the customer base was so supportive there. We wanted to really capture what they already had.”

The Same, But Different

Enright isn’t doing any remodeling, and any changes, like decorations, will be minimal.

“We’re making some small adjustments, upping the cocktail program a little bit, adding some wine to the menu,” Enright says, “but we’re not looking for [Poetry Lounge] to be a cocktail bar. We want it to be as accessible to everyone as possible, as [Whisper Nest] was.”

The upgraded cocktail program will reflect Enright’s longstanding background and influence in the craft cocktail industry, which started in London in 1992 after graduating from the Harvard Student Agencies School of Bartending.

“One of the things I’ve always been known for is my Sazerac,” Enright says. “We will definitely have a Sazerac and will be making the best Sazerac in town.”

Also on the cocktail menu: Ramos Gin Fizz, Frozen Irish Coffee, and classics like daiquiris and caipirinhas.

Turn Up the Music

And Enright didn’t forget about Whisper Nest’s commitment to music. Musical programming will be offered regularly, with themed nights taking place each week.

Sundays, for example, will be Surfs Up Sundays, featuring everything from surf rock to reggae. (An optimal time to sip on Poetry Lounge’s Galeophobia cocktail, served in a shark mug.) Meanwhile, Wednesdays will highlight punk rock. They aim to have local bands play in those slots as well, alongside DJs. Already in the works is local surf rock band The Yeggs to perform on a Sunday.

“We just want to be a neighborhood bar that offers great cocktails, good wine,” Enright says. “We’re trying to maintain what the Whisper Nest started.”

A summer veggie en croute, puff pastry filled with chopped vegetables in a cast iron skillet

Summer Veggie en Croute will surely become a seasonal go-to. Summer veggies are versatile ingredients. Thank heavens for that: during the weeks of peak harvest, we need to change up what we do with them. This simple recipe invites you to chop up two cups of your favorite garden vegetables and pop them into a puff pastry galette… resting on a creamy bed of mascarpone and seasonings. The results will make you look like a French chef, but the process couldn’t be easier.

Summer Veggie en Croute Recipe

INGREDIENTS 
1 sheet puff pastry
1/4 cup olive oil divided
1/2 cup mascarpone
2 cloves garlic, grated on a microplane
2 cups chopped fresh veggies (a mix of zucchini, summer squash, bell peppers, corn)
1/2 tsp Ground cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Grease a 9” cast iron skillet with olive oil. Place puff pastry in the middle. Press gently with fingers to spread the dough out a bit.
  3. Mix mascarpone, garlic, and all but a teaspoon of the olive oil. Spread it around in a circle in the middle of the pastry, leaving the corners clear.
  4. Mix chopped veggies and spices and place over the mascarpone.
  5. Fold the corners of the pastry into the middle of the pan. Press the tips together. Place in oven for 20-30 minutes until the pastry is golden brown. Eat immediately.

Simple Chicken Marbella

0
An arial view of a round white baking dish with chicken thighs, olives, prunes, and capers, and two yellow dishes with single servings of the same with gold forks

Chicken Marbella is an easy choice when you know you’re going to be limited on time. The recipe calls for marinating the chicken overnight, but the preparation is ultra simple, and the outcome is packed full of the kind of flavors one would expect from a meal you’ve slaved over to prepare. The result is tender and juicy meat with a briny and sweet tang. Olives, capers and prunes play so deliciously well together that this will become a staple in your kitchen. Health-conscious cooks may consider skipping the brown sugar: the dish is still wonderful without it.

What is Chicken Marbella? 

Chicken Marbella gets it name from Marbella, a Spanish coastal city just across the Mediterranean from North Africa. It likely got its spices from that cuisine. It became popular among Americans in the ’80s as a party dish, likely from the Silver Palate Cookbook. Ina Garten also then took inspiration from that recipe for a later version of the dish. Our version of Chicken Marbella is easy, no matter what level of chef you are.

Turkey and Black Bean Burger with Sweet Potato Fries

0
An aerial view of a Turkey and Black Bean Burger, Sweet Potato Fries, blueberrys, and kiwi slices sitting on a light green plate against a green background.

Healthy but hardy — turkey and black bean burgers are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional burgers. Made with lean ground turkey and fiber-rich black beans, they are packed with protein and nutrients. Bonus points for anyone watching their waistline: These burgers are lower in fat than those made with beef. Plus, the flavor of turkey showcases the handful of spices you. This way your end product is juicy, savory, and just as delicious as a regular burger would be.

Why Sweet Potato Fries Are Still Healthier Than Regular Fries

When baked instead of fried, sweet potato fries are a salty and nutritious companion. The side dish is a great source of complex carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. Even more, sweet potatoes are also lower in calories than regular potatoes and contain more fiber.

Together, this burger and fry combo makes for a satisfying and healthy meal that the whole family will love.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries


  • Author: Alekka Sweeney, Adapted from Cookie and Kate

Description

A crispy side dish that gets rid of the guilt of regular french fries.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb sweet potatoes (about 2 medium-large or 3 medium)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Optional spices: freshly ground black pepper, cayenne pepper and/or garlic powder


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit with racks in the lower and upper thirds of the oven (make sure the top rack is about 6″ from the heat source and no closer).
  2. Line two large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper so the fries don’t get stuck to the pans.
  3. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into fry-shaped pieces about 1/4″ wide and 1/4″ thick. Try to cut them into similarly sized pieces so the fries will bake evenly. Transfer half of the uncooked fries to one baking sheet, and the other half to the other baking sheet.
  4. Sprinkle the sweet potato fries with the cornstarch (use 1 1/2 teaspoons per pan) and salt (1/4 teaspoon per pan).
  5. Toss until the fries are lightly coated in powder. Drizzle the olive oil over the fries (1 tablespoon per pan) and toss until the fries are lightly and evenly coated in oil, and no powdery spots remain (use your fingers to rub visible cornstarch into the fries as necessary).
  6. Arrange your fries in a single layer and don’t overcrowd; otherwise, they will never crisp up. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip the fries so they can cook on all sides. (The easiest way to flip them is with a metal spatula. Section by section, scoop up about ten fries and flip them with a quick wrist turn.)

Start your meal with a refreshing salad. Try one of the following recipes:

White Bean Tuna Salad Wraps

0
White Bean Tuna Salad Wraps sit on a green plate with two orange slices, and a few pieces of kiwi.

Small in size, these White Bean Tuna Salad Wraps are not only delicious but are loaded with nutrients perfect for midday pick-me-ups. You may just beat that two o’clock feeling after eating these for lunch!

Pack one for the kiddo’s lunch, too — these White Bean Tuna Salad Wraps don’t get soggy, provide an balance of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats, and are just all around visually appealing. Help your little ones stay energized and focused throughout the school day.

What Makes These Wraps So Healthy?

Our White Bean Tuna Salad Wraps recipe calls for tuna in olive oil, rather than water, which, while a bit more on the calorie side, is much higher in vitamin D and selenium — helping your body fight infections. Plus, is excellent for your bones!

Meanwhile, the central star, white beans, provides a plethora of marvelous nutrients and vitamins, like protein, fiber, folate, iron, and magnesium. You have the option to use either cannellini or Great Northern white beans. The difference is that cannellini beans are a bit larger and creamier, while Great Northern beans are firmer and smaller in size. But you can’t go wrong with either!

White Bean Tuna Salad Wraps


  • Author: Alekka Sweeney
  • Yield: Makes 4

Description

A simple lunch that comes together easily and provides a filling meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup chopped red onions or shallots
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon or 2 limes (can sub a tbsp or two of cider vinegar)
  • 2 (5- to 6-oz) cans of tuna packed in olive oil
  • 2 (15-oz) cans of cannellini or Great Northern white beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup (loosely packed) chopped parsley or arugula, or 2 tablespoons thinly sliced mint
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • Salt and more extra virgin olive oil, to taste
  • 1 package of whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup spring salad mix


Instructions

  1. Sprinkle some of the lemon juice over the chopped onions while you prepare the other ingredients. This will take some of the oniony edge off the onions.
  2. Combine ingredients in a bowl. Drain the oil from the tuna and put the tuna into a large bowl. Add the beans to the tuna and gently stir to combine.
  3. Add the onions, herbs, black pepper, lemon zest and lemon juice and mix to combine. Add Tabasco or chili to taste.
  4. If the salad needs more acid, add a little more lemon juice. If the salad seems a little dry, add a little bit of extra virgin olive oil. Add salt to taste.
  5. Chill before serving.
  6. Lay tortillas on a clean work surface. Lay salad mix over tortilla. Spread ½ cup of tuna salad over greens. Fold top and bottom half of tortilla into the middle, turn the tortilla to the open edges and fold over like a burrito.

This salad will last several days in the fridge, tightly covered.
