We use nuts frozen from last year’s harvest. Nuts will get rancid, so definitely check for that before using. Freeze any nuts left over. The recipe is from a recipe in Bon Appétit magazine with a few minor changes. The Bon Appétit recipe calls for the drizzling of melted white chocolate on top of the tart for decorative effect. If you want to do this, just melt a ounce of white chocolate over a double boiler and use a fork to drizzle swirls on top of the tart....

How to Shop for Shrimp When you’re shopping for shrimp, the size will be listed by how many pieces you’re likely to find per pound. This recipe calls for 16/20 shrimp—also called extra jumbo—which means there will be 16 to 20 shrimp per pound. It’s a nicely sized shrimp for threading on skewers. For reference, small shrimp is listed as 51/60, and colossal shrimp is U/15, which means you’ll get under 15 shrimp per pound....
Well, not of course, actually. I didn’t think of it until we exhausted Sorry, Monopoly, and gin rummy. But it did turn out to be a brilliant idea as my father had just received a baking stone for Christmas, and my nephew loves pizza. I told him if he helped me make it I would talk about him on my website and he would be famous. That seemed to get his attention....
The problem is that often when they are on sale, they don’t have many days left in them, so you need to use them up right away. My mother, bless her heart, has the perfect solution for too much fruit. She makes small batch jams in her microwave. She does it with the plums and figs from her trees (see her Microwave Fig Jam). This week I had a big container of strawberries that needed to get eaten or used, so I decided to use mom’s microwave method to make a quick batch of jam....
What Is an English Breakfast? There’s a lot going on with the full English breakfast. Typically, there would be bacon and a few types of sausage on the plate, along with simmered beans, roasted mushrooms and tomatoes, and fried eggs. Normally, these things are cooked in separate skillets, then assembled together on the plate. By the way, an Irish Breakfast is similar, but usually includes different kinds of meat or other proteins and a few different puddings....
But this kind of macaroni and cheese is a complete waste on my children. They want nothing to do with it. They want the from-the-box macaroni and cheese. It’s almost like it was deeply engrained in their American genes. Escaping the Blue Box Of course, the truth about macaroni and cheese for most American children is that they want what they are used to. Because of busy lives and the low cost of boxed macaroni and cheese, that is what most kids know....
Where regular tiramisu has lady fingers dipped in coffee, this tiramisu cake infuses the beverage right into the cake, so each bite is balanced and flavorful. The rich filling is mildly tangy from the mascarpone and fragrant with Marsala. The cocoa powder provides a tiny hint of bitterness and when combined with the lightly sweetened cream and fluffy cake, it tastes like a sliver of fine dark chocolate. This is a great make-ahead cake and it is, in fact, better when assembled ahead of time, the perfect dessert for your next gathering....
But I actually prefer ice cream made with coconut milk over ice cream made with eggs and dairy any day of the week. I love the flavor and natural sweetness of coconut milk, and think it really shines when made into ice cream. If you’ve never made dairy-free ice cream before, you’re in for a treat: it doesn’t require much in the way of fancy ingredients. I’ll walk you through making the ice cream base below, but a few things to know first:...

Yes, this combo sounds a little out there, but trust me—it’s a salty, savory dream. The slight sweetness, extreme creaminess, and saltiness of the peanut butter complements a charred-edge patty like you wouldn’t believe, drawing out subtle meaty notes you may never have tasted before. All this richness needs to be cut, which is where the lettuce, tomato, and onion come in for a refreshing (literal) palate-cleanser for the pb on the roof of yours....

Butternut Squash Pork Burritos These Butternut Squash Pork Burritos combine such a delicious combination of flavors! The sweetness of the butternut squash balances out the heat of the spiced pork, and the crumbly cojita cheese lends a salty bite that just makes everything blend so well together. We got our inspiration for this recipe from one of our favorite restaurants in Boise, Bardenay. They have a butternut squash and black bean wrap that is to die for!...
Usually turkey soup is a pretty standard affair, but if you are looking for a soup that might pack a little more punch, I recommend this pozole. It’s made with turkey stock, leftover turkey, a little tomato, lots of hominy, and seasoned with smoky chipotle chile peppers in adobo. I’ve written about pozole before. It’s hard to resist this soup, essentially “taco night” in a bowl, but not as messy!...
This Sweet Chex Mix is one of those addictive treats that gets polished off at every gathering. We took a big batch to a Super Bowl party recently and it was completely gone before half-time. People take a little handful to start off with, then keep sneaking back for more because they can’t stay away. This snack mix is full of yummy candies, crunchy cereal and gooey marshmallows and would be a perfect treat to package up and give as gifts for the holiday season....
