In our family, we serve our Thanksgiving appetizers as an actual meal, whether we do it on Thanksgiving Day or a day before or after....
Blackberries provide a seamless switch from the familiar cranberry juice in a traditional Cosmo, working well with the orange from the Cointreau and the zesty notes of lemon. It’s a cocktail with natural sweetness that doesn’t overpower the taste buds while being both crisp and rich rather than effervescent and refreshing. This one is best enjoyed on the patio or atop a picnic blanket with a charcuterie and cheese board or serve it as the welcome drink for a backyard cookout with friends....

If you’re lucky, you have a certain special someone who surprises you with dinner when you get home and takes out the trash without being asked. Someone who instinctively knows that you can take on the world even when you’re doubting your ability to just slog out of bed in the morning and who is happy to be hugged by you even when you’re rank with sweat from the gym....
Here’s our version. It’s a cinch to make! How To Make the Best Tabbouleh The thing that requires the most work actually is just the chopping up of the parsley. Don’t skimp on the olive oil. The salad needs it or it will be dry. Feel free to add some chopped cucumber, or even chile for a little heat. A good winter-time substitute for the fresh tomatoes is some canned roasted red peppers, or sun-dried tomatoes....
The real concern I had with the recipe is whether my kids would eat it. They will normally eat noodle dishes like this if they have meat in it, but a full-on veggie mix might be a struggle for them. Generally, they have vegetables on the side, but all mixed together like this isn’t something they have on their plate very much. So, let’s dig in and make some lo mein, and maybe, just maybe, feed the kiddos also!...

Savory with just the right amount of tartness, veggie dip is punctuated by fresh herbs and garlic. Think store-bought veggie platter dip, only ten times better. Serve it with crisp and colorful vegetables, like carrots, radishes, and cucumber. You can serve the dip immediately or, if you’re prepping ahead, store it tightly covered in the fridge for up to a day. It’ll keep for longer, but the fresh herbs will be at their best within 24 hours....
Honey Lime Enchiladas Suggestions for this Recipe Which tortillas are best for enchiladas? A big part of it comes down to personal preference. Traditional enchiladas are made with corn tortillas, either white or yellow. They have more flavor with a more firm and chewy texture. Flour tortillas are softer, more pliable, with a slightly sweet flavor. We love the flour tortillas for this chicken enchilada recipe because they’re larger and can hold more of the delicious filling....
Shredded Chicken (the RIGHT way) Shredded chicken is a common ingredient in SO many recipes online. What people fail to realize, is that there is a wrong way and a right way to make shredded chicken.

This time of year people who have gardens and who have planted squash in said gardens usually have zucchinis coming out of their ears.

But you know what? It’s pretty darn close! I would say it’s even 90 percent, if not 95 percent there. The crust is crackly and tasty, and as long as you don’t forget about it in your air fryer, it’s still going to be juicy. As with many things in the kitchen, it’s all about tradeoffs, but I think you would be silly to not try this if you have access to an air fryer....

Trader Joe’s sells a pack of multi-colored pearl onions that cook up beautifully as braised onions. The catch? You have to peel them, which requires blanching first, then cutting off the ends so you can slip off the peels. You can of course skip this first step by using pre-peeled frozen pearl onions. I can tell you that if you do choose the blanche and peel approach, it is well worth it....
