A Dream Turned Reality
Local entrepreneur Matt Farler is the man behind the magic. His journey with Capriotti’s started during his college years at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas, where he discovered what would become his favorite sandwich, the Capastrami—an irresistible concoction of hot pastrami, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing, and coleslaw. Capriotti’s was more than just a food spot for Matt and his friends; it was a second home, a place of warmth and connection. Now, Matt wants to bring that same sentiment to his own community in Abilene.
“In college, Capriotti’s was more than a sandwich shop—it was a place of connection and comfort,” Farler shared. “I am so thrilled to be able to bring the franchise to the people of Abilene for the very first time; to the community that my family and I call home!”
More Than Just Sandwiches
Indeed, Capriotti’s is not just about sandwiches. It embodies a 40-year tradition of culinary excellence—slow-roasting whole, all-natural turkeys in-house every day. Their expansive menu features a variety of mouth-watering options including The Bobbie, voted “The Greatest Sandwich in America” by an AOL.com reader’s poll, crafted from oven-roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, and mayo. True to its reputation, the cheese steaks can be enjoyed with premium steak, chicken, or Impossible plant-based meat.
A Boost to the Local Economy
The new location will not only satiate taste buds but also bring new job opportunities to Abilene, supporting the local economy. Plus, with Capriotti’s commitment to convenience, sandwich lovers can look forward to placing orders online, on the phone, or via third-party delivery services—ensuring that everyone can enjoy their subs however they prefer.

Dish Up a Fall Seafood Delight: 5 ways to prepare fresh lobster at home
Maine Lobster, in its peak season this fall, offers versatile cooking methods like grilling, steaming, and air-frying, ideal for family meals. Latinx chef Marisel Salazar shares lobster recipes inspired by American Latino cuisines.
![Lobster](https://i0.wp.com/d2z0g7klazfonw.cloudfront.net/production/additional_images/23534/17204-detail-intro-image.jpg?w=740&ssl=1)
(Family Features) If you’re seeking a new way to bring your family together at mealtimes during a busy fall, look no further than sweet, succulent Maine Lobster. As a versatile solution at the center of delicious dinners, satisfying snacks and beyond, it’s a perfect way to serve up new fall favorites.
The fall harvest brings peak season for Maine Lobster, offering bountiful opportunities to enjoy its sweetness in an abundance of recipes like these dishes from Marisel Salazar, an accomplished Latinx food writer with a unique global perspective. Her debut cookbook, “Latin-ish,” celebrates more than 100 modern recipes influenced by American Latino cuisines.
Lobster is easier to cook than some may believe, making it accessible for cooks of all backgrounds and experience levels. Salazar and the experts at the Maine Lobster Marketing Collaborative recommend these five methods:
- Grilled: Lobster soaks up the charred flavors from the grill, delivering a smoky flavor that complements the sweet, succulent meat.
- Air-Fried: Results in a crisp exterior and tender, juicy meat, enhancing lobster’s natural flavors.
- Boiled: A quick, easy, popular method perfect for entertaining, boiling brings out the rich, sweet flavor in these recipes for Puerto Nuevo-Style Lobster and Lobster Ceviche.
- Steamed: Preserves lobster’s natural taste and tenderness as a gentle cooking method, making it harder to overcook.
- Baked: Allows for flavorful additions like garlic butter or a breadcrumb topping. Creates a delicious, savory crust for a gourmet twist.
With its first documented catch dating back to the 1600s, the Maine Lobster fishery is one of the oldest continually operated industries in North America. The fishery employs more than 5,000 independent lobstermen, harvests 90 million pounds of lobster and, in 2023, landed 80% of the lobster caught nationwide.

Nourish Family Connections with Every Bite: Boost social, emotional and physical health with egg-inspired recipes
![Family](https://i0.wp.com/d2z0g7klazfonw.cloudfront.net/production/additional_images/23514/17191-detail-intro-image.jpg?w=740&ssl=1)
(Family Features) Dine together, shine together. Weekly sit-down meals with family can reduce stress, boost self-esteem and make everyone feel more connected – all while sharing delicious, healthy and easy-to-prepare food.
Give your family the opportunity to refuel and reconnect each week with recipes that bring everyone together. Whether it’s 10 people or two, research shows that those who enjoy frequent meals with others, particularly parents with their children, have better social and emotional well-being, according to the American Heart Association.
Enjoying great conversation and camaraderie is at the heart of every meal, and with the right dishes, you can make every bite as delicious as it is nourishing. Ingredients like eggs are affordable, easy to use and versatile, making them the perfect choice in the kitchen to help you cook up conversation.
Gently cooked egg yolks take center stage in this Egg Ravioli with Sage and Almonds recipe, and delicate poached eggs rest atop whole grains in the Poached Eggs with Pesto Bulgur recipe. If breakfast is the best time of day for your tribe to gather, whip up these Southwestern Quinoa and Egg Breakfast Bowls for added protein and fiber.
These egg-inspired recipes and more are part of the American Heart Association’s Together Tuesdays and Healthy for Good Eat Smart initiative, nationally supported by Eggland’s Best. Both initiatives stress the importance of gathering at least once a week around the table with family or friends to satisfy cravings for connection, a delicious meal and overall healthy living.
In addition to the social and emotional benefits of dining together, shared family meals can help promote healthier choices at the table.
Eggs, for example, can be included as part of a heart-healthy diet that emphasizes vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, whole grains, lean protein and fish, according to the American Heart Association. Remember not to isolate just one food – it’s not only about the egg, but also about what’s eaten alongside it. For example, eating eggs alongside foods high in saturated fat – like bacon – is different than eggs eaten with steamed veggies, whole grains or a side of fruit.

Egg Ravioli with Sage and Almonds
Recipe courtesy of the American Heart Association
Servings: 4
- 8 cups water
- 1/2 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh, chopped thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 gyoza wrappers, shumai wrappers or wonton wrappers
- 4 large egg yolks, unbroken
- 1 large egg white, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds, chopped
- 1 tablespoon chopped, fresh sage
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped red bell pepper (optional)
- Fill large pot with water. Bring water to gentle boil over medium-high heat.
- In medium bowl, stir ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, thyme, orange zest and pepper.
- Place four wrappers flour sides down on cutting board. Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese mixture onto center of each wrapper. Using back of spoon, press down on cheese mixture to create well about 1 1/2 inches across (width of large egg yolk), leaving at least 1/2 inch space around edges of wrapper. Without breaking it, carefully place one egg yolk in center of each well.
- Using pastry brush, brush edges of wrappers with egg white. Place one top wrapper with flour side up on each bottom wrapper. Using thumbs and forefingers, firmly press edges together to tightly seal each ravioli. Set aside.
- Using slotted spoon or spatula, carefully drop each ravioli into boiling water. Cook 2 1/2-3 minutes, or until wrappers are al dente (cooked not too soft but not overdone). Using slotted spoon, gently remove raviolis from pot, draining well. Transfer to plates. Drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with almonds, sage and bell pepper, if desired.
Tips: Gyoza wrappers (or shumai wrappers) are preferred because they’re thinner than wonton wraps. Look for gyoza wrappers in the dairy aisle, deli department or freezer section.
Use these guidelines to determine how you want eggs cooked: At 2 1/2 minutes, eggs are yellow and slightly thickened but not set around edges, similar to sunny-side up. At 3 minutes, eggs are deeper orange and slightly set around edges, similar to over-easy.
Poached Eggs with Pesto Bulgur
Recipe courtesy of the American Heart Association
Servings: 4
- 2/3 cup uncooked instant or fine-grain bulgur
- 1 1/3 cups, plus 2 tablespoons, fat-free, low-sodium vegetable broth, divided
- 1 cup tightly packed fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts, dry roasted
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 dash cayenne
- 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow or red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 medium lemon, cut into 4 wedges
- In medium saucepan, prepare bulgur according to package directions, omitting salt and substituting 1 1/3 cups broth for water. Fluff with fork.
- In food processor or blender, process basil, walnuts, garlic, salt, cayenne and remaining broth until smooth. Stir basil mixture, bell pepper and green onions into bulgur.
- In large skillet, bring water and vinegar to boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer. Break one egg into cup then carefully slip egg into simmering water. Repeat with remaining eggs, placing in water so they don’t touch. Simmer 3-5 minutes, or until whites are completely set and yolks are beginning to set but aren’t hard. Using slotted spoon, drain eggs well and place on bulgur mixture. Serve with lemon wedges.
Note: White vinegar helps firm egg whites quickly, preventing them from spreading too much.
Southwestern Quinoa and Egg Breakfast Bowls
Recipe courtesy of the American Heart Association
Servings: 4
- 1/4 cup uncooked quinoa, rinsed and drained
- 2 medium tomatoes (about 2 cups), chopped
- 1 cup no-salt-added frozen corn, thawed
- 1/2 medium avocado, pitted and diced
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- nonstick cooking spray
- 4 large eggs
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- red hot pepper sauce, to taste (optional)
- Cook quinoa according to package directions. Remove from heat.
- Spoon quinoa into four bowls. Top each with even amounts of tomatoes, corn, avocado, green onions and cilantro, if desired.
- Lightly spray large skillet with nonstick cooking spray and set over medium-high heat. Crack eggs into skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, uncovered, 3-4 minutes, or until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny. Using spatula, carefully transfer one egg, sunny side up, into each bowl. Sprinkle with hot sauce, to taste, if desired.

Enjoy the Simple Delights of Butter, Dairy-Free
The rich, nostalgic flavor of butter remains popular, while dairy-free alternatives like Miyoko’s Creamery gain traction due to growing consumer interest in health-conscious options.
![Butter](https://i0.wp.com/d2z0g7klazfonw.cloudfront.net/production/additional_images/23502/17130-detail-intro-image.jpg?w=740&ssl=1)
(Family Features) Chef Julia Child once said, “With enough butter, anything is good.” The rich flavor of butter has been a staple in cooking and baking for ages. Gracing home chefs with its deliciousness, the simple smell of butter ignites fond memories and provides inspiration for creative recipes.
Based on data from the U.S. Census and the Simmons National Consumer Survey, which predicts more than 300 million Americans will consume butter in 2024, the nostalgic ingredient is expected to continue taking over time-honored and trending recipes with no end in sight. However, as consumers explore how to incorporate better-for-you ingredients into their diets, the dairy-free market has become a leader in the discussion.
Dairy-Free Butter
In fact, according to McKinsey’s 2022 U.S. Dairy Consumer Survey, the U.S. plant-based dairy market has grown year-over-year with approximately 45% of people who consume plant-based products planning to increase their consumption in the next three years. When it comes to butter, the exploration of dairy-free alternatives is increasingly evident as shoppers scan grocery aisles for simple and health-forward swaps that mimic the irresistible qualities of traditional butter, which often proves a challenge.
Consider dairy-free solutions from Miyoko’s Creamery, which is leading the charge in introducing high-quality dairy-free alternatives to households, providing simple and approachable recipe swaps. The dairy-free butter is cultured, churned and made with real, organic ingredients that appeal to both dairy and dairy-free enthusiasts alike. Unlike traditional margarines, which contain blended oils that can cause overly soft baked goods, the oat milk-based butters deliver a smooth spread and rich, creamy taste for a 1:1 swap. The spreadable products provide delicious, plant-based, convenient solutions to enhance any meal or occasion.
Beginning with organic oats that are milled to creamy perfection then churned to create a cultured plant milk base, the oat milk butter is created using traditional creamery methods to upgrade your recipes.
Social media platforms have also aided the surge of dairy-free options and, according to Food Navigator, 81% of consumers cook recipes they discover by content creators.
As seen with the viral “Butter Board,” a creative appetizer containing softened butter spread across a board topped with jams, honey, nuts and more, the butter trend garnered a total of 236.9 million views and counting, per “Forbes.” Justine Doiron, the creator who brought the trending “Butter Board” to social media and cookbook author of “Justine Cooks,” is a pivotal example of how content creators introduce consumers to real ingredients while highlighting inventive recipes.
“What I look for in my butter is that signature rich taste, along with a smooth, spreadable texture,” Doiron said. “There’s no joy like spreading softened butter on bread or tossing a few cubes in to finish a pasta sauce. With dairy-free butter, I can take everything I love about butter and share it with all the people I love. All diets, all values – all getting the same amazing food experience.”
Explore more diverse examples of creative ways to use dairy-free butter in the kitchen.
Spreading: Embrace the simplicity of fresh sourdough bread slathered with Miyoko’s Cinnamon Brown Sugar Oat Milk Butter for a quick morning or afternoon snack.
Melting: Elevate everyday pasta dishes with a perfect cube of garlic parm oat milk butter.
Baking: Experience made-at-home garlic bread with a delectable spread of salted plant milk butter baked to crunchy, garlic excellence.
Grilling: Find joy in entertaining friends at home by elevating grilled vegetables and fruit with salted oat milk butter for added mealtime delight.
