The kids are back in school, which means you may need to start gathering ideas for the numerous bake sales for the tennis or soccer team (and beyond!). We've rounded up some go-to bake sale favorites that have been upgraded, like crispy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, and lemon-ricotta bars.

Amanda and Merrill look back on 2+ years of their favorite summer dishes.

Each week in Kickstarter Love, Feed52 will feature a Kickstarter project that focuses on food and the community. Basically, it’s about cool people doing cool things with food. This week: an internet-run experimental bakery plans to open for business in September.

You'll be hearing from the staff at FOOD52 every week in Too Many Cooks, our group column in which we pool our answers to questions about food, cooking, life, and more.

While we prepare our favorites from your haiku this week, we thought we'd share our own -- the FOOD52 staff (and Amanda's husband Tad, who wanted in on the fun) put on our thinking caps this week to bring you our best 17-syllable poems. The results were surprising -- we have more than one closet poet among us!
