Are they worth the effort? You tell me! Fresh favas, or broad beans, are only available for a short time in spring, so it’s not an effort that you have to, or get to, make that often. I kind of like the meditative aspects of plopping out the beans from their pods like mini-green-bean rocket ships. Cooked in salty water, they taste a lot like edamame, and can be just as deliciously addictive....

So this month I’ve been fixing that, starting with this family-friendly and allergy-friendly chocolate chip skillet cookie that’s just begging to be shared with friends and loved ones.

The yogurt helps tenderize the breasts and the marinade brings life to otherwise boring boneless skinless chicken. What I love about this recipe is that with just the barest of preparation, you can have a delicious meal within minutes. The yogurt-based marinade is only mildly acidic, so you can leave the chicken in the marinade all day, while it gently tenderizes the meat while infusing it with the spices....
