But if you have access to fresh sweet cherries when they are in season (or even frozen out of season), you can easily make a pie with them, too! What makes the recipe work is to not add too much sugar. The cherries are already naturally sweet. We also add some almond extract to the filling. There’s something magical about the flavors combination of cherries and almonds (see our cherry clafouti), and they work great in the pie....

Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes have been around for a while, and if you have yet to get on the bandwagon, I encourage you to try them! Cauliflower makes an excellent low carb substitute for starchy potatoes. Though we like mashed cauliflower so much that we usually serve both—cauliflower and mashed potatoes—at our holiday meals. In this version we are steam boiling the cauliflower first in salted water, then draining and mashing....

This recipe is not only easier than making a layer cake, but it’s even easier than making standard chocolate chip cookies. There’s no need to chill the dough, no scooping cookies, and no cake assembly. With a traditional cake, you might spend more time assembling and decorating than actual partying. Although you should plan on at least 2 hours to prepare this cake from start to finish, there are some make-ahead options below for the busy party planners....

Hawaiian Plate Lunch If you have ever been to Hawaii, chances are you have had this kind of lunch. I literally lived right across the street from L & L on Oahu and went there all the time for their plate lunches. So. Good. There were also several little lunch wagons in the area that had plate lunches with meat and scoops of white rice or another starch. My favorite, however, is when we would get together with our local friends and they would dish up a homemade plate lunch....

Roasting garlic changes the chemical makeup of the garlic so that it’s easier to digest. You can eat a lot more garlic if it is completely cooked, with fewer side effects than you would get from eating raw garlic. (If you’re into chemistry, you can read more about this process in the Wikipedia.) Eat the caramelized roasted cloves directly out of the heads, or add them to pasta dishes, mash them up and spread them over toast, or mix them with sour cream for a dip....

Mexican Chili in a Tostada Bowl This Mexican Chili recipe is one of our favorites, and I’ve made this dozens of times. It’s such a versatile recipe that it can be eaten as a soup, a dip, drizzled over nachos, and as I pleasantly just discovered, in a tostada bowl! I was worried that it would get soggy and nasty, but it didn’t. It actually turned out great! It’s the perfect twist on soup in a bread bowl....

Here, juicy pears and spicy, warming ginger are combined with tart apple cider vinegar for an invigorating non-alcoholic drink. And the best part is, it’s completely customizable to your taste buds. What Is a Shrub? Shrubs are an old way of preserving fruit in vinegar that has found new life in the cocktail world. The result is a sweet-tart syrup that can be added to cocktails, or served on its own with a splash of club soda or seltzer....

So many local cafes and bakeries, as well as Starbucks, carry a pumpkin spice steamer drink around this time of year, and while they are delicious, they can get a little pricey when everyone in the family wants one! From what I can tell, most places use a pumpkin flavoring, not pure pumpkin. You can really taste the difference! This recipe uses real pumpkin! You can use 100% pure pumpkin from a can or you puree your own from a cooked pumpkin....

I’m so excited to share this recipe with you all. Roast turkey is a fantastic meal that is both flavorful and easy to make. Plus, it’s a healthy option as well, especially when you follow this recipe! All the ingredients are on the healthier side to begin with but still have all the flavor! This roast turkey breast recipe comes from Chef Sam, the executive chef at the all-inclusive fitness resort, Fitness Ridge....

Sort of reminiscent of a popular Japanese dish with spinach and sesame gomasio. The slightly bitter green kale does a happy dance with the acidic lemon and salty richness of the tahini sauce. Very easy to pull together. Would make an excellent addition to a Thanksgiving or holiday spread. Enjoy. (And as my dad says, eat your greens!) After a couple minutes the kale should wilt a bit so you can add the rest of the raw kale....

Easy Overnight French Toast Save time and stress by preparing French toast casserole in the slow cooker the day before you need it. Instead of individually dipping and pan-frying each custardy slice of bread, add everything to the slow cooker, soak it overnight, then let the slow cooker work its magic in the morning! An overnight soak gives the custard plenty of time to soak into the buttery cubes of toasted brioche....
