    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. To poach eggs, bring about 3 inches of water to boil in a large, shallow skillet over high heat. Turn off the heat and add eggs at once by breaking them directly into the water. Immediately cover pan with a tight-fitting lid. Allow eggs to cook undisturbed until done as desired, about 4 minutes. Remove the eggs with a perforated spatula or large slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

    2. Add the cooking spray and oil to a sauté pan over medium heat. Sauté the spinach until wilted. Stir in the garlic and sauté 1 additional minute.

    3. Prepare a double boiler with a heat-proof bowl. Add the egg yolk, lemon juice, and vegetable broth, whisking constantly until hot but not curdled. Remove from heat and whisk in yogurt, salt (optional), and pepper.

    4. Top each English muffin half with 1/4 of spinach mixture, one poached egg, and 2 Tbsps. sauce.

    How to Make Cool Weather Cobbler

    “This is my take on a classic apple crumble,” says cookbook author and nutrition expert, Katie Cavuto. “But I wanted to pay homage to the natural sweetness of the fruit instead of lobbing on the sugar. Arrowroot powder thickens this whole-fruit filling and fresh ginger, cinnamon, and orange zest lend robust flavors to this treat. And the topping adds more than just crunch; with oats, whole-wheat flour, pumpkin seeds, almonds, and maple syrup, it’s a tasty way to get your nutrients.”

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
    2. To make the filling, toss together all the fruit, the arrowroot powder, cinnamon, ginger, and orange zest in a medium bowl. Spread the filling in the bottom of an 8 x 12-inch baking dish.
    3. To make the topping, stir together the almond flour, oats, flour, pumpkin seeds, almonds, cinnamon, and salt in another medium bowl. Drizzle in the canola oil, olive oil, and maple syrup and mix until evenly combined.
    4. Crumble the topping over the filling and bake for 40 minutes, or until the topping is brown and the fruit is bubbling. Remove cobbler from the oven and set aside to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

    30 min prep time


    5 min cook time


    10servings


    1/2 ear of corn

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Soak the corn (husks on) in large bowl or pot of water for 30 minutes.
    2. Remove the husks and silk from the corn. (Or you can roast corn with husks still on and remove the husks after roasting. This allows the corn to caramelize rather than char while roasting.)
    3. Roast corn on a grill or over an open gas flame (gas stove) on medium-high heat. Rotate each ear every 30 seconds or so, so the corn gets roasted evenly. (You will hear some kernels pop while cooking.) Remove roasted ears from the grill or flame and set aside.
    4. Mix cayenne, cumin, and salt in a bowl.
    5. Carefully remove the husks and silk from corn if you have not done so already. Dip lime halves into the spice mix to pick up the spices and rub all over corn, making sure to squeeze lime juice while doing so. Serve.

    Classic Meatloaf

    How to Make Classic Meatloaf

    Author Robyn Webb:”Ask anyone about childhood food memories and meatloaf is usually mentioned. We owned a collection of loaf pans when I was growing up, but my mom used them more for baking bread than forming meatloaves. She was the one who taught me to form a meatloaf into an oblong shape on a baking sheet, which let the air circulate all the way around the loaf to produce those crusty edges.”

    4. Place the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and form into an oblong loaf. Combine the ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar and pour over the meatloaf.
    5. Bake the meatloaf for 40-45 minutes until cooked through. Remove from the oven and let the meatloaf rest 5-7 minutes prior to slicing.
