Cook orzo the same way as you would any other pasta – in plenty of water. Although typically pasta should not be rinsed after cooking, [...]

During my freshman year of high school, I had a history teacher named Miss Shoemaker who (gasp) dared to give us multiple projects at once. Â As 14-year-olds, we couldn’t believe it.

I use my outdoor grill year round. I use it because I like the grilled flavor it adds to the food and, maybe more importantly, I use it because I embrace the concept of minimal mess. Why use a pot on the stovetop or a pan in the oven when I don’t have to? Many [...]
