Add some new grains to your pantry to keep kitchen boredom at bay.

Happy first day of spring! The day we've been waiting for, through these long winter days, has finally arrived. 

Put time into dinner now, and you can make it last forever -- or at least the whole week. Welcome to Halfway to Dinner, where we show you how to stretch your staples every which way. 

Today: Jessica O'Toole of La Domestique invites wheat berries to dinner every night of the week. 

Today we're learning all about the jewel-like cranberry as it goes from puckeringly sour in the raw to richly sweet when cooked.

Try as American as cranberry sauce!

We show you a few ways to use up that jar of juniper berries.
