It's been afew years since we last visited an Ikea, nearest one being about 110 miles away. It is where we got our glass door bookcases, nice if one doesn't mind flat-pack and can do "some assembly".

One big incentive and reward is their cafeteria, good food at reasonable prices.

Time of year when the zucchini becomes plentiful. Here's one recipe, with a few others listed at the bottom after it.

Spaghetti alla Nerano​

My favorite kind of problem in the summer? Too much zucchini on hand. Any time I find myself in this predicament, I turn to a southern Italian classic: Spaghetti alla Nerano. The dish, named for the village on the Sorrento Peninsula where it originated, is beautifully simple. It features golden pan-fried zucchini tossed with al dente spaghetti, melty cheese, and plenty of fresh basil.

BEST Giardiniera Recipe (Spicy or Mild)​

What is Giardiniera?​

Giardiniera, pronounced “jar-din-air-ah”, is one condiment you don’t want to be without. It’s one of my favorites and once you’ve tried it I’m confident you’ll fall in love with it too. Originating in Italy, these pickled vegetables were introduced to Chicago in the late 19th century by Italian immigrants and took their place as arguably the city’s most popular condiment. It’s used on practically everything! You name it, giardiniera is just what you need to bring your hot dogs, burgers, sandwiches, nachos, antipasto platters and pasta salads to life. In Chicago you’ll even commonly find it served on pizzas and, of course, no Italian beef sandwich is complete without it. Have you been to New Orleans? Giardiniera is the magical ingredient in those mouthwatering muffuletta sandwiches. In short, giardiniera is the ultimate pickled vegetable relish!

On their own or paired with other protein (meat) beans are a great taste and budget stretch.

7 Tips for Making Your Best Pot of Dried Beans, Even If It’s Your First​

Maybe you have dried beans in your pantry right now—and maybe it's for the first time. Whether you bought them as a just-in-case backup meal (purveyors are reporting record sales) or because you're transitioning towards more plant-based eating, it's time to learn to make your best pot of beans.

Sure, canned beans allow for a certain spontaneity and ease that makes them extremely lovable and useful, but cooking a pot from dried is a totally sensory, highly rewarding activity (way easier than nurturing a sourdough starter!) that’s worth devoting a couple of hours to: It’ll feed a gang easily, deliciously, and cheaply—and hey, we could all use the comfort of something warm and long-simmering and good-smelling right now.
