Hack of the Day: Citrus Seltzer

Make your own citrus seltzer with no actual fruit

Apr 25, 2013 2:03 pm

You can squeeze a little lemon or orange juice into your seltzer, but it still won't taste like citrus-flavored seltzer out of the bottle. It'll taste like very weak soda and look kind of cloudy and gross. You want the essence, not the juice. Grab a grapefruit and heed my word.

Hack of the Day: Zero-Effort Kimchi Pickled Eggs

Hack Of The Day: Kale Salad Chips

Leftover kale salad makes excellent kale chips

Mar 19, 2013 3:01 pm

I had leftover kale salad I didn't feel like eating in its fresh kale form, especially not after the amazing kale chips we knocked out at last week's Test Kitchen. Since there was already flavor on them in the form of a light orange juice–olive oil–rosemary dressing, I saw no reason why not to toss them on a baking sheet and stick them in a 350F oven for 15 minutes. Here's what happened.

Hack Of The Day: Easy Tostada Shells

Got muffin tins? Time for taco salads.

Nov 29, 2012 3:31 pm

I believe that a hack is not a hack unless it makes something possible that was otherwise not possible before. Like making sure your epic bagel sandwich doesn't get smushed on the way to work. Now I just need to figure out how to make sure my hacked tostada shell doesn't get shattered.
