We grew up with eggnog, the kind you buy in a carton, and every Christmas holiday we kids drank up as much of it as we could. I didn’t even know that eggnog was a “spiked” drink until well into my adult years! Even now, I prefer my eggnog only lightly boozed, if at all. So this recipe is only lightly spiked; feel free to increase the rum and bourbon to your heart’s delight, or omit altogether if it’s for the kids....
You may be familiar with grilling slices of eggplant in thick rounds—but this is another simple grilled preparation that you’ll fall in love with this summer. You throw the entire eggplant on the grill to slow roast until soft and collapsed, revealing a silky smooth and slightly smoky interior when sliced in half. Then, it’s finished with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of flaky sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper, a squeeze of lemon to brighten it up, and fresh flat-leaf parsley (a 3-ingreident recipe, not counting your pantry staples)....

During the summer when they’re in season, I can’t get enough of them. I’ll buy baskets of blueberries just for me to eat, all by myself. No guilt. No justification needed (though if you do need a reason, they’re great for your brain and are considered a superfood). Half a basket gets dumped into the morning’s cereal, the rest nibbled throughout the day. We keep bags of frozen blueberries around for pancakes or smoothies; fresh ones are usually just eaten straight....
I particularly love the balance in the salad - the acidity of the tomatoes and vinegar with the sweetness of the onions, the parsley which supplies a bitter, the salt, the olive oil, and the protein from the beans and eggs. It’s a complete, light meal in itself. 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil 4 tablespoons white wine vinegar or sherry vinegar 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)...
Tis the season to be….snacking! I don’t know about you guys, but during Christmas, I don’t want to be in the kitchen all the time cooking big meals. Usually, my family has a big dinner on Christmas Eve, and then for Christmas Day we just kind of graze on leftovers and appetizers. I love making a Christmas Charcuterie Board like this because I can just set it out while we are visiting or playing games and everyone gets to pick and choose what they want....
Curry Powder Makes a Beautiful and Tasty Dish Curry powder, which consists of turmeric, coriander, cumin, and ginger gives this chicken salad its beautiful golden color— mostly because of the yellow turmeric in the blend. In this recipe, we’re adding the curry powder to the mayo used to make the salad rather than adding it to the chicken itself. Curry can sometimes taste bitter when added to a dressing like this, so the secret is to mellow the powder first in hot oil, just for a minute....
Let’s just say it. Halloween is a sweet holiday! See what I did there? But really, I love Halloween for all its kid candy fun. This great recipe takes all those great flavors — really any flavors you want — and stirs them into one.For this Candy Bark recipe I kept it pretty simple with chocolate candies, candy corn, and pretzel sticks.

As with all elemental things, though, the simplicity of a baked potato is deceptive. We’ve all had excellent baked potatoes and terrible baked potatoes. Happily, an excellent one is not any harder to make than a terrible one. The right potato, the right temperature, and the right timing are key. There’s also some spirited jabbing with a fork involved. Get set to bake the best potatoes of your life!...
Of course, it remains to be seen if little kids (like mine) will actually eat a burrito. If they don’t, then they might have to find a different house to live in. (Kidding, kidding!) So, go on and cancel that Chipotle delivery, and let’s learn how to make the best burrito filling, wrap those burritos tightly, freeze them well, and reheat them into delicious meals! What Makes a Good Freezer Burrito?...
It’s that good. The recipe was in a book that Garrett gave my father on Russian, German & Polish Food & Cooking. Dad has a preternatural affection for all things turnip and cabbage. Kohlrabi means cabbage turnip in German, so of course dad couldn’t wait to try the recipe. We all loved it so much we made him make it again a few days later and made sure my brother showed up for dinner....
You often find it in pots of baked beans instead of molasses, as well as in all kinds of cakes, pies, and other sweet desserts. Maple syrup also makes its way into simple weeknight dishes like this skillet chicken recipe, where it turns into a glaze. Start by searing the chicken by itself, then brown some onions until they start to turn golden. Add a few cut pears to the skillet so they brown, too....

My recipe is based on the no-knead bread recipe originally developed by Jim Lahey at the Sullivan Street Bakery in New York City. Here, I’ve added whole wheat flour to up the nutritional value and modified the amounts to make a dough that’s perfectly proportioned for making sheet pan pizza. Since whole wheat flour absorbs more water than white flour, it is best to stick to about 30 percent whole wheat to white flour....

These bright red globes hang from the tree like ornaments, sometimes bursting open to reveal hundreds of juicy crimson seeds. But what to do with them? You can eat them straight (be careful, the juice stains), juice them, or in this case, make pomegranate jelly with them. How Many Pomegranates for 1 Cup of Juice? Good question! It depends on the size and juiciness of your pomegranates. For the big ones we grow, they can produce about 1/2 cup of juice each....
Raspberry Cranberry Sauce This beautiful Raspberry Cranberry Sauce is a tasty twist on the traditional recipe.
