Never Buy Onions if You See This Red Flag at the Store - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a food writer, I consider myself a pretty savvy grocery shopper. I know how to sniff out a ripe peach, tap for a juicy watermelon, and spot a crisp, glossy apple. But one staple I’ve never quite figured out how to judge is an onion. And since I cook with them almost every night, there’s nothing more frustrating than getting home only to discover half the bag is full of duds, slicing into one after another while I’m just trying to get dinner on the table. According to produce expert and owner
My Grandmother’s 3-Ingredient Dessert Is Genius - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This three-ingredient dessert is fast, affordable, and easy to make anytime. Bananas, milk, and cinnamon create a light, naturally sweet, and comforting treat. You can customize it with different milks, sweeteners, or crunchy toppings. At 89, my grandmother has a better memory for recipes than I do.

The Best Pan for Cooking Bacon, According to a Chef - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I prefer bacon on the chewier side: slightly underdone, glistening with fat, with crisp edges and still hot from the pan. My partner likes it basically incinerated—so well done it could turn to dust if you tap it the wrong way. However you like your bacon, the pan you use can make a surprisingly big difference. The right one helps the fat render evenly and the edges crisp, rather than leaving you with bacon that’s shriveled, gummy, or unevenly cooked. To find out which pan is best for cooking ba
The Real Reason Grocery Store Apples Don’t Taste Like They Used To - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a fall baby, I’ve always been partial to the season and its produce, associating sweet, crisp apples, pears, and persimmons with my birthday. But over the years, I’ve noticed that apples just don’t seem to taste as good as they once did. Now, I have to be surprisingly picky about the variety to find one that’s juicy, crisp, and crunchy rather than mealy and dry, sucking the moisture from my mouth like sandpaper. Wondering what was behind the apparent decline of one of my favorite fruits, I re
