XO, Kristen   Vegetarian one-pot meals for your heart and soul It might almost be summer, but the world is still giving us plenty of reasons to crave comfort food. When you need something heartwarming but are still trying to eat healthy, one-pot vegetarian meals are a great compromise. We've got 10 of our favorites here for you, so don't put your Dutch oven away for the summer just yet. GET THE RECIPES   Dutch ovens: Size matters! Dutch ovens are like the diamond engagement rings of the cooking world: They're a big investment, but they're going to last you a lifetime. And because brands like Le Creuset and Staub make them in such gorgeous colors, they're fun to look for, too.  But if you're about to throw down $300, you'd better get the right size. Le Creuset's dutch ovens, for example, come in a range of sizes from 1 quart to 7 1/4 quarts. Depending on your needs, you could end up buying one that's either way too small for the food you're cooking, or too big to fit in your cabinets.  I spoke with a brand rep from Le Creuset, who told me their most popular size is the 5 1/2 quart. So whether you're buying one for yourself or as a gift for a friend, keep in mind that this is the size that seems to work best for most people. Now, to just decide on a color!   The future of meat is meatless   There’s something about a burger that can capture your mind in an instant. But you might wonder: "Am I sure I want to eat this?" Two green brands, Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat, are making a product that looks, tastes and even bleeds just like real meat -- but it's plant-based. Even White Castle is selling sliders made of the Impossible burger, and it's primed for big things in the food industry.
