Posted by Rich Lucas, Deputy Administrator for Office of Policy Support, Food and Nutrition Service in Food and Nutrition Aug 11, 2021 As directed by Congress in 2018, USDA is re-evaluating the Thrifty Food Plan (TFP)—the estimated cost of an affordable, nutritious diet.

There’s the fantasy: cooking a party spread for friends, or even just dinner on any given night. And then there’s the reality: getting home late because of traffic or meetings that run long, or simply losing the motivation to make a whole meal from scratch because of the overwhelming desire to lie on the grass (or the couch) a little while longer. When that happens, a fridge filled with homemade sauces offers the promise of a nearly effortless meal. The […]

Local vendors and farmers who will be there include Freedom Dreams Farms, Master […]

Kraft announced the condiment cancellation on Tuesday […]

Experts say the white tablecloth experience is not dead yet — but it has been forced to evolve. With the three-martini lunch crowd still on hiatus and international jet-setting gourmands mostly unable to travel, many higher-end establishments have had to reconfigure their offerings. Facing higher costs for everything from lobster to […]
You might associate fried chicken with Southern regions of the country… but California? Oh, yes. One Bay Area fast-food chicken chain is seriously ramping up to go national with an impressive menu of all things fried chicken. Didn’t know you could get Nashville hot chicken in San Francisco and soon, Los Angeles? You sure can—and come next year, it could be moving closer to more of us. Starbird Chicken recently announced that they saw a 36% year-over-year revenue increase in […]
(Moore or Less Cooking) The beauty of TikTok is that you just never know what you’re going to get. I held off getting the TikTok app because I thought it was only about dancing. Then, by word of mouth, I heard about the Nacho Table Trend and Whipped Coffee. All the chatter was enough to lure me in and I became an instant fan of this giant world of cooking videos. These viral TikTok recipes are not the perfectly curated […]
