Hi friends,Yep. You read that right. *Breakfast Cookies* With a subject line like that, how much can we really say before delving into the recipe? We feel pretty confident that you have an intrinsic understanding of the primary use cases for these cookies:Your morning is frantic and you need to get out the door pronto, but your kid is unbreakfasted and teetering on the edge of a hanger-induced meltdown.

Hi friends,Coming in hot with a wonderful Cub Street Diet from the equally wonderful Sierra Tishgart! Sierra is the New York-based founder of the cult cookware line Great Jones, whose beautiful and functional goods we featured in last year’s Easy Tomato Confit post. Before she started a career in kitchenware, Sierra was a food writer and editor who spent her time interviewing cooks, tasting the best of the city, and editing the Grub Street Diet for many years, if you can believe it.

Hi friends,When it comes to feeding our kids, one of the things we wrestle with most is sugar. There is so much conflicting guidance when it comes to sweet treats with kids, that every decision can feel like the wrong one. Sugar will kill them. No sugar will make them into a social pariah. Bribing your kid with sweet treats is wrong but also it’s the only thing that works sometimes. You know the drill: a classic lose-lose parenting situation.

Hi friends,With Mother’s Day around the corner, we’ve been reflecting on the enormity and insanity of this journey that began for both of us (within a month of each other!) in 2022. And though the Green Spoon mostly exists in the weeds of being a parent—the brass tacks of surviving the morning, filling lunch boxes and providing dinner to a fickle constituency—we wanted to spend today’s post honoring what has nourished us most as moms. The answer? Other moms. Ourmoms.

Hi Friends,One of the requests we get most often is for dinner recipes that are actually doable when you’re strapped for time, energy and ingredients. In the past, we’ve shared 10-minute dinners for those nights when it’s a race against the clock (check out this post). And while time is often the biggest factor, sometimes it’s just a question of technique, i.e., how to make something taste really good with just one or two ingredients and a minimum of fuss.

Hi friends,If you’ve been following us for a while, you know that we possess a nearly religious devotion to the humble, glorious chickpea (and this truly perfect method for cooking them), so it should come as no surprise that we also love to cook with chickpea flour whenever possible: it’s rich in fiber, protein, and flavor. And, needless to say, this is no fringe theory: chickpeas and chickpea flour are cornerstones of many of the world’s greatest cuisines.

Hi friends, Is there anyone who doesn’t love a glimpse into someone else’s medicine cabinet/pantry/bookshelf/purse/suitcase/grocery cart/sock drawer/bedside table?! Given our innate curiosity—in combination with the number of times we’ve heard about the stress of having to pack school lunch—we figured we’d try a new kind of lunch-focused post: a chronic… Keep reading with a 7-day free trial Subscribe to The Green Spoon to keep reading this post and get 7 days of free access to the full post...
