Make Dinner: A Home Cooking Manifesto – NYTimes.com
Just cook. That is the message of the moment, the act to embrace. Just cook dinner. It is a habit as easy to form as a bad one, and more beneficial by far.
Of course, home cooking can be stressful, particularly during the week. Never mind the time spent at the stove.

Also coinciding with the season is the annual trip to the orchard to pick apples and drink cider. In the spirit of fall, apple picking, and National Public Lands Day, we are looking at two companion publications from the National Park Service about orchards and fruit trees.

Savory Oatmeal Is The New Breakfast Of Champions. Here Are 13 Ways To Make It.
Oatmeal is a breakfast favorite, and for good reason: It helps curb appetite (keeping you full until lunch), decreases risk for both colon cancer and high cholesterol and is incredibly easy to whip up in the morning.
You may be accustomed to spooning up a hearty dish of sweet oats, topped with raisins, brown sugar, maple syrup or fruit. But oats’ neutral taste makes a prime canvas for more inventive flavor pairings.
