The arguments against eating hot dogs are long and easy to find, but we thought there was more to this ballpark classic. Our graphic designer Betsy will stand up for her favorite food any day, so she set out to show the IN crew and our readers just how great they can be. First and [...]
In the midst of our “Like” for L.U.N.C.H. campaign this week, we were inspired to write about one of those kid foods adults love: peanut butter. One of our team members fondly remembers eating peanut butter sandwiches for lunch every day in elementary school for about 2 years. Decades later, peanut butter toast is still [...]
Tuesday was National Chocolate Chip day so we decided to celebrate with a little IN Food recipe contest. We made three different classic chocolate chip cookie recipes and held a blind tasting to determine the winner. The Recipe Showdown 1 – Original Nestlé® Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie 2 - Vanilla Pudding Chocolate Chip Cookies 3 [...]
Yesterday a few of us took a break from our busy schedules to bake up the Grand Prize recipe from this year’s Pillsbury® Bake-Off®. The recipe is harder than it looks and even yummier than it sounds. The flavors are very trendy. Salted caramel is everywhere and pumpkin is a close relative of the sweet potatoes [...]

In my quest to share a satisfying and indulgent fix with some nutritional benefit, I looked to February for a little inspiration: National Cherry Month Heart Healthy Month National Fiber Month Celebration of [...]
Most of us have heard about the importance of Omega-3 fats in our diet. But did you know flaxseed is a tasty, easy, non-fish way to incorporate this nutrition powerhouse into your daily fare? If the name conjures up images of tasteless, fibrous nothingness, guess again. Its nutty flavor makes it a delicious topping for [...]
Last week we held a kettle chip brand test and this week we kept the potatoes coming. The New Year is just around the corner and foodies everywhere say 2012 will be the year of the potato! Out with the old (sweet potatoes were so 2011) and in with the HOT: seasoned fries with gourmet [...]

They’re even taking a more prominent role in grocery stores with [...]
