How To Set A Fun Family Friendly Easter Table

Like my Thanksgiving table setting, I don’t like to buy a whole bunch of new things just to set the table. I prefer to look around my house and see what I can reuse—and that’s what I did for this table setting as well. Feel free to take my ideas and tweak them to suit what you can find around your house! Here’s how I plan to set my Easter table—it’s easy, I promise!...

Kabuli Palao Afghan Lamb Shanks With Rice Carrots And Raisins Recipe

Khadija Hemmati, an Afghan chef based in Charlottesville, VA, stopped by on a Sunday evening with two lamb shanks and an Instant Pot cradled under her arm. She taught me how to make kabuli palao, a traditional Afghan dish of tender spiced lamb served alongside rice bejeweled with almonds, pistachios, carrots, and sultanas. Each component is prepared and cooked separately, and then beautifully layered right before serving. It’s a labor of love worthy of the most important time of the year....

London Broil Recipe Pan Fried

The term London Broil has since evolved to a method of marinating, and then either grilling or broiling the steak. Furthermore, butchers now sell a cut of beef that is called a London Broil which is typically a couple inches thick and is top round. How to Cook London Broil My mother has a method for pan-frying her steak which she calls London Broil, which does not involve marinating. The steaks we use are usually an inch thick....

Peanut Butter Pie Recipe

Two of the characters, a mother and a daughter, are discussing the ingredients for peanut butter pie, which the daughter is making for her ex-husband. It’s a beautiful human moment that says so much about relationships and cultural intersections, portrayed through the making of this humble pie with very American ingredients. That blip of a scene in the movie may have been the beginning of my lifelong tendency to daydream about desserts....

Roasted Tomato Soup

Ingredients in Roasted Tomato Soup Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes – I love the bright flavor of heirloom cherry tomatoes, so that is what I use. However, you can use regular cherry tomatoes, plum tomatoes, or roma tomatoes. Yellow Onion – You can use white or yellow onions. Make sure to remove any papery skin, as it will burn in the oven. Head of Garlic – If you don’t want to peel all of the garlic cloves, then you can cut the whole head in half and place it in the dish....

Savory Scones With Goat Cheese And Chives Recipe

The light, sweet scones enjoyed in England are nothing like the heavy, somewhat dry scones we usually have here in the states. They are more like our biscuits, but sweet. Of course “biscuit” in England means what we here would call a cookie. So confusing. I set out to make a light, savory scone, and in the process learned that, at least here in America, what I was making would more normally be called a biscuit....

Smoked Turkey Breast Recipe

Growing up our family of six overwhelmingly loved breast meat and we ate turkey year-round. I remember my father carving the holiday turkey, dutifully asking everyone, “white or dark meat?” Operating on the ignorance of my young palate and since it looked like the inside of a chicken nugget, I responded, “white meat.” I got the turkey breast while the dark meat (the thighs and legs) went to Dad. Fast forward a few years, I know why Dad loved the flavorful dark meat of turkey thighs, but I’ve also learned how to make the white meat of the turkey breast compete on flavor and texture....

Turkey Noodle Casserole Recipe

I blame my father. He can’t resist a side that sounds good. Of course we need creamed turnips along with creamed cauliflower, mashed potatoes, mashed sweet potatoes, and turnip gratin. And that’s just the starches! Every year we pick out a turkey big enough for all of us, not counting the fact that we will be so full of sides that we won’t have a lot of room left for the turkey....

Beef Kabobs Recipe Shish Kebabs

If you ask my mother she’ll say she’s only made beef kebabs a couple times in her life. If you ask me, one of my favorite childhood memories is my mother’s kebabs (or kabobs), cooked over the little cast iron hibachi grill my parents had on the back porch. My most vivid memory of them was the time I was recovering from pneumonia, hadn’t eaten anything for 3 weeks, and was allowed for the first time to sip some broth....

Colombian Chicken Soup Recipe

The soup is served with a variety of garnishes, including a special salsa, “Aji”, that truly defines the dish. What is Ajico Soup? Ajiaco soup has all sorts of variations, but they all seem to rely on potatoes – some of which are cooked so long they dissolve, thickening the soup – corn (usually on the cob), and chicken. We decided to finely dice russet potatoes so they would dissolve quickly, and we pureed the soup base with an immersion blender, which saved hours of cooking time....

Couscous With Pistachios And Apricots Recipe

I had a particularly good meal at a local restaurant recently that served grilled chicken with a side of couscous that had been tossed with some toasted pistachios and a little harissa. I ate every last semolina granule on my plate. Inspired, we made our own version, with pistachios and some chopped dried apricots, red onions, lemon juice, and parsley. So good! Especially with grilled chicken. It would be good with a Moroccan chicken tagine too....

Cream Of Wild Mushroom Soup Recipe

I consulted my trusty Mushrooms Demystified handbook, sent photos to my mycological society friend Beth, and was assured that these indeed were morels, which are not only safe to eat, but are considered a delicacy. Tonight, we finally got around to eating those morels picked last spring, in this exquisite cream of wild mushroom soup. Special garnish idea: high quality green extra virgin olive oil is really quite something drizzled over this soup, along with some crusty bread for dipping....
