Allrecipes Spring 2023

Whether you make a recipe exactly as written or take a more free-wheeling approach in the kitchen, you likely have some tinkerer in you. By nature or necessity, we cooks are tinkerers. We adapt even the most beloved of recipes to the ingredients and tools we have, the preferences and needs of those we’re feeding, and the flavors we’re craving at a specific moment in time. It’s what keeps cooking for ourselves and others so deliciously doable and satisfying. It is, in short, what keeps us fresh. In that spirit, we’re celebrating spring—and 10 years in print!—with a magazine refresh and a more seasonal cadence. We’ve retooled a few design elements, added some new features, and synced up more closely with the seasons. Starting with this issue, subscribers will receive Spring,…

But along with the wilted greens, you’re tossing out their bone-building, eye-protecting, and brain-boosting benefits. Leafy greens are packed with vitamin K, which helps build up your bones. A 2020 study published in Bone Reports showed that 200 grams of leafy green vegetables daily (about 1½ cups cooked kale) improved bone integrity in middle-aged adults in just four weeks. And a 2021 review of 10 studies and more than 1,300 participants found that when vitamin K teamed up with calcium, participants saw improved bone density. Try roasted kale chips sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. (Note: Some greens—such as spinach and chard—contain high levels of oxalates, which hinder…
