If food and history are two of your passions, then look no further than the latest exhibit to open at The Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. The exhibit, FOOD: Transforming the American Table, 1950-2000, is focused not only on what we’ve eaten through the decades, but also how our culinary preferences have shaped American culture and cuisine.

From the rise of centralized agriculture to the evolution of wine-making, the exhibit is serving up facts and fun about all things food in a 3,800-square-foot gallery and is scheduled to remain open for at least two years. Head over to the Smithsonian’s site for details on each of the six exhibit components, including:

Entertain with Ease: Thanksgiving for 2 or 20

Posted on November 9, 2012 by Kelly Senyei

Gourmet Live Thanksgiving Menu for 2 or 20

It may come as no surprise that Thanksgiving is one of our favorite days of the year at Gourmet Live. Turkey, trimmings, and no shame in second helpings of it all? What’s not to love? This year, I’m even more excited to pile my plate high thanks to seven brand-new recipes from our Thanksgiving for 2 or 20 menu.

Recipe developer Gina Maria Miraglia Eriquez and Gourmet Live senior editor and recipe cross-tester Kemp Minifie wowed us with their culinary prowess, producing not one, but two can’t-miss takes on turkey. For larger crowds, opt for our Citrus-Sage Roast Turkey with Gravy, or skip the big bird and apply the same flavor profile to a hearty turkey breast.

The Thanksgiving table wouldn’t be complete without my favorite part of the meal: the side dishes. We’re serving up Roasted Butternut Squash Ribbons Salad; Mashed Potato and Cauliflower Gratin; Cabernet-Cranberry Sauce with Figs; Challah, Sausage, and Dried Cherry Stuffing; and the ultimate sweet finale in the form of an Apple Crostata with Spiced Caramel Sauce.

Have we tempted your taste buds yet? Check out our full Thanksgiving for 2 or 20 menu and weigh in below with your favorite dish from the year’s biggest feast.

Weekly Roundup: Seasonal Pecan Recipes

Posted on October 26, 2012 by Kelly Senyei

Wild Rice Salad

The arrival of October every year signals the start to holiday feast planning, and my first thought is always to sweet potatoes, and more importantly, the crispy, crunchy pecan topping that often accompanies the Thanksgiving classic. The hearty nut takes on more than just a supporting role in this week’s roundup of sweet and savory recipes for gratins, parfaits, brownies, and more.

  • Wild Rice Salad (pictured above) from Foodess stars a sweet and savory mix of crunchy pecans, dried cranberries, and chopped green onions.
  • The Meaning of Pi layers sweet potatoes, Parmesan and crunchy pecans in Spicy Sweet Potato Gratin.
  • Chia Pecan Peach Parfait from Tasty Eats at Home pairs pecans with fresh fruit for an unbeatable breakfast combo.
  • 30 Pounds of Apples’s Sugar n’ Spiced Pecans are a DIY take on a street food favorite.
  • My Daily Morsel’s Turtle Brownies go beyond the basics by topping tender brownie batter with homemade caramel and crunchy pecans.
  • Chocolate Pecan Almond Toffee from Sweet Twist of Blogging is the perfect homemade snack for sharing.

September 1 marked the start of Hunger Action Month, an annual event bringing awareness to America’s fight against domestic hunger. The USDA reports that an estimated 49 million people living in the U.S. are uncertain of where they’ll find their next meal, which means 1 out of every 6 people are going hungry on any given day.

This month, the Feeding America network of more than 200 food banks is aiming to bring awareness by encouraging us all to speak out against hunger. There are countless ways you can help, including:
