Holiday Wreaths

I loved making (and eating) this recipe with my mom when I was kid over the holidays.

Small-batch eggnog

’Tis the season! This is so rich and delicious (and alcoholic) that we’re only making a very small amount.

Butter-Swim Biscuits

 If you love fresh biscuits but don’t have the time or energy to make them from scratch—or are disappointed by the ones in cans—this is the DELICIOUS solution for you.

Domestic turkeys in America

Benjamin Franklin never proposed that the wild turkey should become our national symbol instead of the American bald eagle. In fact, he didn’t think a bird of any kind should be chosen for the Great Seal of the United States.

Turkey Tetrazzini

Pasta dish is infinitely flexible

One-skillet corned beef hash

This adaptation of a MarketGrow recipe reminds me of mornings in local cafés (most frequently Pete’s and then Roy’s). My favorite breakfast.

Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins

 It’s that time of year again, when everything is pumpkin and spice. To maintain the seasonal spirit, this recipe adds cranberries.

Black Bean Hummus

A new twist on an old favorite

Easy One-Skillet Ground Beef Burrito

“Easy” is too mild a word—unless you make your own taco seasoning, this takes about 10 minutes and really only uses one pan. This deconstructed burrito is easier to eat than a whole one, and you never have a forkful of dry tortilla. Adapted from...

Hummus and Veggies

Get your kids in the kitchen and make this healthy snack together. Remember to wash your hands before you start. Adapted from The Barefoot Child. Ingredients 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander 2 cloves garlic 1 red...

One-Pan Baked Chicken and Rice

There’s a lot in here, but it assembles quickly. And it’s lovely to have a main dish and side prepared all together. As always, adjust the seasoning to your taste. You can even eliminate cutting up the onion and garlic, and place the contents of...

Gluten-Free Apple Kugel

As we come into apple season, at the time of the Jewish New Year holiday of Rosh Hashanah, which also celebrates apples, here’s a recipe from Rella Kaplowitz of The Nosher. This puddng-cake (kugel is Yiddish for pudding) is simple and delicious...

Melinda’s Freakin’ Good Pasta

Quick and easy, requiring only a minimum of elbow grease (none, if you have a food processor) and easily made vegan by substituting for butter and cheese. Vegetarian, but protein is an option. In any case, delicious, and seasonal. Adapted from...

Cowboy Potato Salad

This delicious salad is hearty enough to be a meal in itself. Consider many of the ingredients to be suggestions: add or subtract bacon, peppers, and mustard to your taste. It’s really important only to maintain the volume of potatoes, mayo, and...

Brown Butter Tomatoes

Brown Butter Tomatoes   If you grow tomatoes, you probably have a row of green-to-red ripening fruit on your windowsill right now. Enjoy this last blast of the summer season with this simple and slightly decadent treat.   Serves 4 as...

Simple Pasta Salad

Simple Pasta Salad   This is a good summer-into-fall transitional salad—a side dish, lunch, or, with protein added, even a main course. This recipe makes a big batch—great for picnics or potlucks. Inspired by Joana’s World...

Everyone loves pizza, but you can’t get it delivered up here. When your taste (or your kids) demand pizza, here’s a fairly quick and definitely easy solution. It’s infinitely adjustable, so match your family’s preferences for toppings and...

Cucumber Raita Salad

Raita is the Indian iteration of Greece’s tzatziki: a delicious mixture of cucumber, garlic, and yogurt. The Indians, of course, add more spice to it. This is bigger, chunkier than a dipping sauce—a real salad,...

Creamy Avocado Chicken

This is incredibly fast and easy when you have pre-cooked chicken. A rotisserie chicken makes it even faster and easier. Another lovely hot-weather dish. Adapted from The...
