In this recipe we are braising rabbit, over onions and celery root, in a sauce of Belgian ale and whole grain mustard. It’s a carbonnade of sorts, but with rabbit, and is perfect alongside crusty bread to sop up the sauce or over a batch of egg noodles. If you are unfamiliar with cooking rabbit, you can often find whole frozen rabbits and specialty markets. If you can, call ahead and have the butcher defrost and part out the rabbit....

The last time I made caramel apples with young Piper she was barely 4 years old, and she covered her apple with pink sprinkles. This time, we kept our homemade caramel apples simple and unadorned, but you could easily dress them up with chopped nuts, raisins, M&Ms, or candy sprinkles. What Kind of Apples Work Best? For caramel apples you want an apple that is firm, tart, and crisp. Tart apples will especially help balance the sweetness of the caramel....
I make mine with Mexican chorizo, scrambled eggs, avocado, and cheese. Mexican vs. Spanish Chorizo Chorizo is my go-to choice for breakfast tacos because it’s packed full of spices and flavors that go well with a taco. Chorizo sausage is common in a lot of different cultures, and there are a number of sausages that go by the name of chorizo. But the most common ones you will likely find at a grocery store are Mexican and Spanish....
It might be the simplicity of a bottom crust only pie — no need to make a lattice top or fear shrinking apples and a crust gap. It could be the perfection of fall apples baked until tender and juicy or the buttery crumble top flecked with the barely sweet flesh of pecans. Maybe it’s the scent of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove wafting through the air making my home smell like how a warm blanket feels on a cold day – inviting and cozy....
You don’t even really need the herbs! Cucumbers are crunchy and cool with just some vinegar, salt, and pepper. But added dill or chopped fresh basil will elevate this simple cucumber salad to something just a bit more interesting. I like adding a mix of regular basil and Thai basil (the one that tastes somewhat licorice-y). Using Garden Cucumbers With Cucumber Salad About this time of year, we start having an easy cucumber salad almost every night with dinner....

If you know the best way to approach each herb, removing the leaves doesn’t have to be a chore. Some might even call the task speedy and—dare we say it—satisfying. Here’s the best way to approach a handful of common herbs, in no particular order. Rosemary Rosemary stems are quite woody, so you definitely don’t want them making an appearance in your stews or sauces. To remove the edible portion from the woody stem, simply separate the stems and remove any branches, then run your fingers down the stem in a straight line....
My own diet has evolved quite a bit since then. As a registered dietitian, I’ve learned the benefits of a plant-rich plate. Plus, two of my children are now vegetarians, which has pushed me to explore the culinary riches of meatless meals. I still eat meat and poultry, just a whole lot less than my parents did. If you’re new to the idea, here are a few reasons why a more plant-based diet might be a wise move, and tips to get you started!...

We all know lasagna is comfort food that comes with a hefty time and labor price tag and a big pan to wash....
You could roast just a couple turkey legs if you like dark meat. If you prefer white meat, stuff and roll a turkey breast.

Now, the only issue I see with cooking just the breast, is that you end up with scant drippings for gravy....
Yes, some people shy away from this odd little vegetable, usually because depending on the preparation it can be a little slippery slimy. Personally I love okra, any which way, including slimified. Alas, not everyone shares my affection (it’s a texture thing), but the good news is that okra can be a perfectly un-slippery vegetable if it is sautéed quickly, on high heat. That way you get all the benefits of the crunch and flavor, but without the slurp....

All you have to do is say these two words and I’m flooded with childhood memories. We kids are only a few feet high, have tiny feet, scabbed knees, and boundless energy.

Here is a riff that I like to do on Vietnamese “bún” – one of the original meals in a bowl! This is a cold salad of vermicelli rice noodles, chicken, fresh herbs and vegetables, and a tangy rice vinegar dressing. How To Make a Great Noodle Bowl Rice vermicelli noodles are now widely available at most grocery stores, or you can find them online. The two noodles look similar, but mung bean noodles tend to be sticky once cooked and are better suited to other dishes....
