These are quick and easy cream biscuits. There is no need to carefully cut butter or shortening into the flour. You don’t even have to chill the biscuits before baking them. The biscuits are topped with a vegetarian mushroom gravy that is luscious, creamy, and delicious without being too rich and heavy. Traditionally, the gravy is made with crumbled sausage; this recipe imitates that flavor by calling for seasonings typically found in sausage: crushed red pepper flakes, fennel, and fresh thyme....

If you are an orange chicken fan, then today’s recipe is a must try. What Is Orange Chicken? Orange chicken is one of many iterations of Chinese takeout dishes that involve fried chicken pieces tossed with sauce. In this case, the sauce is a mix of soy sauce, water, and orange juice, plus some cornstarch thickener to make the sauce just thick enough to coat the chicken. The key to giving the sauce a great orange flavor isn’t just the orange juice, though; it’s the orange zest, so don’t skip that ingredient!...

I do not like them Sam-I-am. I do not like green eggs and ham. You can’t blame Sam-I-Am’s friend. The forest green ham and eggs in the book don’t look entirely appetizing.

This is a combination that anyone could love, especially in a grilled cheese sandwich with Gruyere....

On hot summer evenings, my family will grill a few artichoke halves and eat them right off the grill around the kitchen island for dinner!...

After lunch, on my way out the door, I stopped the waitress to ask how they made it. She gave me a general idea, which I have attempted to recreate in the steps shown here. The diner version included a little touch of ground clove and cardamom if I recall correctly. I didn’t add those spices, without them the ginger ale still turned out just great! It’s quite easy to make....

It’s also an exemplary example of Szechwan cuisine due to its combination of sweet, sour, salty, and hot tastes....

Like so many of those early recipes, mom has modified them to her taste and style through the years. This one, she rarely does exactly the same way twice. She’ll use a different set of herbs and seasoning, depending on what strikes her fancy looking through the spice cabinet. Whereas my father is a stickler for details and exact ingredient measurements, mom usually can’t be bothered, She keeps things simple and improvises as she goes along....
