The Highland community in west Gastonia has lacked a grocery store for decades, but there are steps being taken to lessen food scarcity in the community. In May, Donyel Barber helped to create a food kitchen in the food-scarce area, known as RAMS kitchen, an acronym for Really Amazing Meals with Soul. Barber, a member of Gastonia City Council, hopes to expand the healthy resources of the kitchen by opening a food truck in January 2022. “The City Council has been working […]
Botanically, potatoes are a vegetable, but nutritionally, they’re mostly carbohydrates, which is probably why you won’t find them at the top of any “healthiest foods” lists. A medium-size russet potato with the skin contains 164 calories and 37 grams (g) of carbs, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Vaccinations saved lives, as well as our peace of mind to some degree; meanwhile, the Omicron variant and supply chain disruptions continue to remind us that COVID-19 isn’t in the rearview just yet. As many have predicted, the way forward isn’t so much a “return to normalcy” as it is the task of establishing a new […]
So it may come as no surprise that In-N-Out has filed yet another copyright infringement lawsuit. This time, the fast food chain is suing a Michigan restaurant called Doll n’ Burgers, with locations in Tecumseh and Jackson, according to the Daily Telegram. In-N-Out is reportedly claiming Doll n’ Burgers has borrowed a little too liberally from its signature look, from a white, red and yellow color scheme to employees dressed in white shirts, red aprons and paper hats. In the lawsuit, […]

Chef notes I love this recipe because it’s so flavorful and hearty. This is a home run for people who are worried about walking away from the table unsatisfied. It’s great for large groups and serves up well, year-round. Technique tip: Try to evenly chop the onion and bell pepper in the food processor so they cook in the same amount of time. Swap option: Swap in chickpeas or kidney beans if you prefer over cannellini. Preparation 1. In a […]
A clutch of fishing villages dot the coast near Kilifi, north of Mombasa in Kenya. The waters are home to parrot fish, octopus and other edible species. But despite living on the shores, the children in the villages rarely eat seafood. Their staple meal is ugali, maize (corn) flour mixed with water, and most of their nutrition comes from plants. Almost half the kids here have stunted growth — twice the national rate. In 2020, Lora Iannotti, a public-health researcher […]
