Tomato Upside-Down Cake
When you put the tofu mixture into the bowl, blend the first ¼ cup of water you plan to use for the batter in the dirty blender. It will not only get any remaining batter off, it will clean your blender blades as well!
Caprese Salad
Make the salad: Arrange the tomato pieces around the outside of a plate or platter, overlapping as you go. Do the same with the mozzarella slices, slightly overlapping the tomatoes.
Sourdough Crepes
Sourdough crepes are an easy dare I say perfect way to use up leftover starter from the baking process. You can eat them straight away or make a batch for the freezer.
Chicken & Potato Stew
Chicken & Potato Stew is an easy one-pot meal that brings warmth, color, and rich flavor to brighten dreary winter days. Once you have everything in the pot, just leave it to slow cook.
Roasted Sweet and Gold Potatoes
Roasted Sweet and Gold Potatoes has it all! It mixes orange-fleshed sweet potatoes with baby gold and/or red Bliss potatoes
Steamed Green Beans with Roasted Tomatoes
Steamed Green Beans with Roasted Tomatoes is not only festive to look at, but it is also a yummily healthy upgrade to what some view as a rather boring veggie.
Ann’s Paccheri alla Gricia
When making Ann’s paccheri alla gricia, addling the pasta water to the sauce and then reducing it, adds an amazing amount of flavor and helps the oils in the sauce to emulsify.
Kale Braised with White Wine
It’s hard to think of sturdy, healthy kale as a festive dish but Kale braised in white wine is simply delicious. Cooked this way, this healthy, nutritious green is a far cry from the rough way it often gets treated in the kitchen, overcooked, underseasoned, and underloved. Not here!
Sicilian Caponata
Preheat the oven to 425F. Line a full baking sheet with parchment paper. Put in the oven while it preheats – this will heat up the sheet and speed up the browning of the eggplant.
Honey Roasted Figs
In the dish, arrange the figs cut side up in a single layer. Drizzle the honey over the figs. Add the water. Sprinkle the tops of the figs with the sugar.
