CNN —Julia Turshen wants you to break the rules. "Food is the social glue holding us all together," said cookbook author Julia Turshen, who is based in New York's Hudson Valley. “I’ll be thrilled, of course, if you cook directly from the recipes,” Turshen wrote. Natalie ChitwoodThe use of charts "isn’t just a collection of recipes but also a blueprint for how the recipes work," Turshen said. Recipe adapted from “What Goes With What: 100 Recipes, 20 Charts, Endless Possibilities” by Julia Turshen.

☆ I'm a chef with over 15 years of experience. Everyone should know this recipe for twice-baked potatoes.
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-14 | by ( Alissa Fitzgerald | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

As an experienced chef and cooking instructor, I love this take on twice-baked potatoes. Here's my go-to recipe for twice-baked potatoes with mascarpone and chives. Alissa FitzgeraldRusset potatoes mash beautifully and retain a great shape when the insides are scooped out thanks to their thicker skin. Additionally, this recipe uses medium-sized potatoes since cutting these beauties in half isn't as visually appealing as stuffing them whole. Alissa FitzgeraldThe filling for these twice-baked potatoes has two notable tweaks from many classic recipes — there's no added milk, and it calls for mascarpone instead of sour cream.

After trying it for the first time last year, it quickly became one of my favorite foods at Trader Joe's.

Since moving to Indiana, I have to drive two hours to get to the closest Trader Joe's. Some items are worth making the trek for, like the granola bites, cacio-e-pepe ravioli, and syrup. AdvertisementWhen I lived in Southern California, I had tons of Trader Joe's locations to choose from. But now that I reside in Southern Indiana — where there are only four stores in the entire state — I drive two hours to and from the closest location. Because I live so far away, I typically travel to Trader Joe's once a month, stocking up on lots of canned goods and cleaning products.

Yet while real crab packs a major protein punch, imitation crab doesn't have quite as much nutritional value. Imitation crab contains little or no real crab. Brian Vander Brug / Contributor / Getty ImagesThe rising costs of crab have made imitation crab a more appealing option for many shoppers.
