Pulled Pork Sliders with Mango BBQ Sauce by Robyn Medlin

I admit, I’m an egghead. Earlier this year I finally made room on the patio for one more grill- the grill of all grills- the Big Green Egg.

Lentil Salad with Warm Spices by Farrell May Podgorsek

Lentils are perfect for cold or room temperature salads. This salad features the warm flavors of cumin, coriander, ginger and turmeric. Red onion and tomato add texture and color.
