We ate a lot of snacks, appetizers, and party platters from Costco to find the ones worthy of your Super Bowl party spread By Perry Santanachote Which teams are competing in Super Bowl LVII? Does it matter? This day is as much about food and socializing as it is about the game. And this year is the first Super Bowl since the pandemic that will feel somewhat normal. Not normal enough that Tom Brady will take the field, but normal enough that you might have a bunch of friends and family crammed into your living room to yell at the TV while sharing communal trays of food. Whether you’re serving wings, pizza, chili, or dip, you can one-stop shop at...
Spiced with chili powder, cumin and cilantro, these southwestern gluten-free turkey meatballs can be served with salsa, tomato sauce or romesco. They are an easy dairy-free weeknight dinner made completely on a sheet pan in the oven, and can be adapted to be egg-free or low FODMAP! In my new cookbook CARBIVORE, I share a lot of methods for making gluten-free meatballs. I have a few go-to formulas that can be applied to any flavor or meat base, including these ground turkey gluten-free meatballs. A classic Italian meatball will use either dried breadcrumbs or stale torn bread soaked in milk (the Marcella Hazan technique), egg, and usually a good helping of shredded parmesan to help the meat mixture stay together...
If writing ever makes you feel lonely, consider Cecile Pineda’s work. You won’t find solace there. You will find a model of courage, of an artist living “at the edge of Being,” the phrase she uses in a 2004 interview with Jeff Biggers in The Bloomsbury Review. Pineda never offers readers the comfort of genre, of managed expectations. She never feigns a coherent, well-organized world or self. For her, the world is mutilated and nonsensical, and the self is shattered. She writes as she lives, balancing between life and death, always a soldier at the tip of the spear, never a general safe at the back of a fray. Didion could point to a center that wasn’t holding. Pineda would...

Journalist Virginia Winder believes in over-the-top everything, from dogs (like her spirited canaan bull terrier, Luna) to décor. “Our house would be Marie Kondo’s nightmare.” More is more when it comes to handbags, hot sauce and living life to the max for Taranaki’s Virginia Winder and Warren Smart. Words: Cari Johnson Photos: Jane Dove Juneau One of the first things to notice about Virginia Winder are her confetti-speckled Dr Marten boots. Depending on the day, it could easily be a hot-pink pair or one of the dozens that patiently wait their turn in the spotlight. New Plymouth locals might also notice her flower-rimmed sunhat bobbing its way through town or, perhaps, the dahlia tattoo peeking its happy face from beneath...
