FISHING FOR COMPLIMENTS
BUY IT FRESH
no-nut noshin’ • Nut allergies affect a number of adults and children. With that in mind, here are two nut-free recipes perfect for breakfast or snacking. There’s a crunchy granola and a creamy cookie spread — eating nut-free has never been tastier!
top chops • Bring the panache, style, elegance, a little swagger, and the big show with a Crown Roast of Lamb. It’s all so rich to look at, but remember, you don’t need a silver fork to eat great food.

OUR STAFF TESTED CUTTING BOARDS
quick & easy pita • The quickest and easiest bread you’ll ever make, you say? Absolutely! Why fuss with it when you can buy it? Taste and freshness!
no booze NO problem • Gone are the days of sipping on juice, soda, or water at gatherings as a nonalcoholic option. Just because you’re eliminating alcohol doesn’t mean you have to give up flavor. These mocktails bring fresh, bold flavor, and a much-needed upgrade, to the standard booze-free options.
ALL ABOUT MAPLE • Pure maple syrup is a sensual pleasure — it’s silky smooth and delivers flavor, color, and aroma. Real maple syrup demands attention and leaves you in awe.

HOW SWEET IT IS • There is more to maple syrup than pancakes. Explore the other dimensions of North America’s original sweetener.
Side Hustle • Some say “sides make the meal” — with recipes this good, quick, and easy we’re proving that point! Focusing on spring produce, these sides are weeknight friendly but make a welcome addition to any holiday gathering or company table.
