 Grilled Vegetable Crepes
Crêpes aren’t just for dessert—they make a quick and savory weeknight dinner. Here they’re filled with ricotta cheese, green beans, zucchini and corn and topped with a chive-cream sauce. Don’t skip the step of placing a piece of parchment or wax paper under each crêpe as you fill it—without it, the crêpes are tricky to roll. Serve with: A tossed salad.

Choosing to eat a healthy diet can be a challenge, especially when it comes to sorting out the controversies surrounding genetically engineered foods. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs), were first grown commercially in the United States in 1996. Now, the Center for Food Safety reports that GMOs can be found in about 75 percent of the processed foods sold in our local supermarkets.
Worldwide, GMO crops are grown on about 280 million acres, almost entirely in corn and soybeans grown for animal feed, industrial chemicals and plant-based fuels. The main thing to know about GMOs is that they are made by the chemical industry, for the chemical industry, and sold to farmers for weed and pest control.
We now eat GMOs in our breakfast cereals and corn chips because in the United States the industrial agriculture system mixes crops from many sources during production and manufacturing. GMOs are now in just about anything made with corn, soy or canola, as well as oil from cottonseed. Most of the meat, eggs and dairy products we eat come from animals fed GMOs. The only fresh GMO food being sold right now is a mushy papaya from Hawaii; the GMO spud was a dud and other fresh GMOs have failed in the marketplace.
