The Margarita and 7 More of Tequila's Greatest Hits
With the magical combination of the margarita—tequila, lime, and salt—it's tempting to think of tequila as a one-hit wonder (two hits, if you count the ever-popular tequila shot, stuck squarely between a lime wedge a lick of salt).
Well, we like to think that there's tequila, and then there's Tequila! Once you've mastered the margarita, nudge tequila beyond its comfort zone and make these smoky, citrusy drinks with one of summer's most refreshing spirits.

How to Please (& Feed) Children Who Are Polar Opposites
In Kids' Lunch, take a look into what people in the food world and the world at large pack their children (and occasionally their significant others and maybe even their pets) for lunch.
Today, find out how Aran Goyoaga, from the blog Cannelle et Vanille, keeps two children with very different tastes happy at breakfast time.
I have two kids: Jon, who is 9, and Miren, who is almost 6. They are polar opposites in pretty much everything in life, and particularly in food. I used to be one of those people who confidently exclaimed to others “My kids will eat everything!” And I admit it, those words came from a place of know-it-all-in-food European judgment. But once I had my own kids, I realized I was wrong.
My children are healthy eaters. Jon is very precise in the way he likes flavors and textures, and his palate gravitates towards healthy foods and a preference for carbs. Miren loves eggs, plain and simple. Fried eggs and Spanish tortilla are everything to her—breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Although I haven’t quite conquered the “my kids will eat everything!” goal, I am a firm believer in not being a slave to my children, especially in the kitchen. “This is not a restaurant,” I say to them, but it can be a challenge sometimes. When I ask, “What would you like for breakfast?,” I shoot myself in the foot. It goes against my mantra, yet I fall into the trap every time. And if I let them dictate breakfast, we would be having a feast every morning.
I have asked them to compromise. Each day, one of them gets to choose the breakfast that requires cooking and the other can either conform or have a bowl of already-made granola. If Jon asks for waffles one day, Miren must eat them or else she can grab a piece of fruit or granola. On the following day, we switch roles: fried eggs with avocado for Miren and granola for Jon. And so on and so forth. So far, so good.

Real Solutions: What to Do When You Don't Have Any Plates
Here's where we share real solutions, through design success stories in the homes of Food52 team members.
Today: Kraft paper saves the day.
A few weeks ago, I found myself with the happy task of having my boyfriend's mother over for dinner (Hi, Leah!)—which wouldn't have been a problem, but I didn't have any plates. My boyfriend and I had just moved into our new apartment and the options were limited—the two of us had been eating out of ice cream bowls (priorities) since the move and serving a feast on paper plates just didn't feel right. Somewhere in the middle of my (slightly frantic) last-minute meal planning, it hit me to use the kraft wrapping paper I had stashed in the closet as "plates" and to serve the pizza directly on top of it (with Caesar-Style Kale Salad in our trusty ice cream bowls).
To do it, I simply rolled out the kraft paper, which I bought at a paper shop but is available at any office supply store, and weighted down one edge with a marble block and the other with wine glasses. Some of the grease from the Shrimp Pizza did leak through, but it was an easy clean-up—especially when doing the dishes meant tearing the used paper off and gathering it up to recycle.
And while this won't work with every meal—particularly those that involve a knife and fork—it's a great solution for anyone moving into a new place, for kids, and for dinner parties. I've been keeping a roll by my dinner-table-butcher-block in case the inspiration for a last-minute pizza night (or even clam bake!) strikes.
What are some of your last-minute dinner fixes when you're in a pinch? Tell us in the comments below!
