Stuffed with Veggies!
According to a 2020 Gallup poll, nearly a quarter of Americans say they’re cutting down on meat, and 36% consider themselves “flexitarian.” For these meatballs, we replaced some of the pork with grated carrots. This method works well with other combos like chopped mushrooms and ground beef too.
We’re eating more vegetables.
Allergies no longer have to hold you back.
Worry-Free Recipes
More restaurants and grocery stores than ever now offer alternative ingredients for those with food allergies or sensitivities. Our pasta, made with a legume-based rigatoni, and our satay, featuring a seed-based sauce, give you the flavor and texture you crave — sans stress.
Drinks from any era can make a comeback.

These classic cocktails are back in the spotlight (though they never left our hearts), thanks to special appearances on television and social media.
COSMOPOLITAN
Rumor has it that a cranberry juice company first made this cocktail, later picked up by San Francisco gay bars. Starting in the late ’90s and then in 2021, Sex and the City and its reboot made the pink drink popular again.
ESPRESSO MARTINI
According to legend, this cocktail, first shaken in London, was made for supermodel Naomi Campbell. Reality shows like Summer House and Below Deck helped bring this buzzy beverage back into the mainstream.
NEGRONI
This boozy Campari-based drink was born in Florence, Italy, in the early 20th century and earned the title of most popular drink of 2021 after many a social media mention, including one by actor Stanley Tucci.
Easy apps are Insta-worthy.
You can take your tailgate to go.
Spicy condiments are a secret weapon.
Dazzling Drizzle
Salsa macha — made from dried chile peppers, nuts and oil — adds smoky, spicy flavor to any dish. It’s similar to Asian chili oil in terms of texture and ingredients; both may have been created when conquistador Hernán Cortés turned Veracruz, Mexico, into a port of trade with the East. It also has indigenous roots, as the Totonac people have been making a similar salsa for centuries.
Tossing leftovers is a waste of a good meal.
Playing with your food could go viral.
