The ribs from that bunch went into this dish, which was so good we ate it up before I could get a photo. The basic recipe for the chard comes from The Victory Garden Cookbook. Just straight with the cream and butter, the chard recipe is too rich, but mixed in with pasta? It’s superb!
Personally, I couldn’t be more pleased. We love our greens here—collard, kale, spinach, beet, chard. Anything that encourages people to cook with and eat more of these fabulously good-for-you and good tasting greens is alright by me. Scrambled eggs, for example, are great with sautéed onions and kale. Stir in some shredded cheese and seasonings, perfection!

What Is Harissa? Harissa is a red-colored paste blended from chilies, spices, garlic, and olive oil. Nearly every family in its region of origin has its own formula. Think of harissa as a cross between your favorite hot sauce (especially if that hot sauce is sriracha) and ketchup (if ketchup were made with peppers instead of tomatoes). A little goes a long way, so I like to stir olive oil and a little cumin and coriander into harissa to stretch it....
This one-pot wonder is an adaptation of the Irish dish of bacon and cabbage, something I enjoyed on multiple occasions during my culinary internship in Ireland. I was intrigued to find out that Irish-Americans mimicked their new Jewish neighbors and used the cheaper salted (corned) beef in place of their traditional piece of bacon. As a result, another contribution to the American melting pot was created. With its one-pot wonder status firmly established, it makes great sense to adapt this to the slow cooker....
He found a grilled turkey burger recipe that he wanted to try, but rather than just use any old ground turkey, he would make half the burgers with ground dark meat (his favorite) and half the burgers with ground white meat and see if he preferred one over the other. I complicated the test further by suggesting that we use regular Tabasco sauce with the white meat turkey burgers and chipotle Tabasco sauce with the dark meat burgers, thinking that the stronger flavor of dark meat would hold up well to the chipotle....
For dad’s birthday, one of the dishes we prepared was this spinach gratin with hard boiled eggs dotting the surface. Certain foods I associate with my father, beets for example, or sauerkraut, and then of course spinach. When we were kids, we always had cans in the pantry (Popeye!). Later, he turned to fresh spinach from the farmers market. Because of my father, we are a family of spinach lovers....
Thus the inspiration for this lovely green spinach risotto. It’s a simple risotto—made in the classic Italian way with risotto rice, stock, wine, and Parmesan—with the addition at the end of a half pound of chopped baby spinach with a little lemon zest and juice to brighten the flavors. A tip about making risotto—use a rice that is meant for risotto, like arborio or carnaroli—and don’t rinse the rice. You want to use a starchy rice because it’s the stirring and slow even cooking that helps loosen the starch to create the creaminess of the risotto....
The best part? Sufganiyot are best enjoyed right away, so it was a night to indulge in as many fried donuts as we could handle. What Are Sufganiyot? Sufganiyot are Israeli jelly donuts that are commonly eaten in celebration of the Jewish holiday, Hanukkah. They are often filled with jam and dusted with powdered sugar. It’s customary to eat fried foods during Hanukkah, like latkes and donuts, to commemorate a miracle: a small amount of oil kept the Temple’s light shining for eight days (hence the eight nights of Hanukkah)....
There are a lot of options when it comes to the best measuring cups, but it wasn’t always like this. Fannie Farmer brought the concept of a standard measuring cup to American home cooks in her well-known “The Boston Cooking School Cookbook” in 1896. This led to a change in how we think of home cooking and ultimately to the creation of a new profession: the home economist. Now, more than a century later, most successful home cooks have multiple sets of measuring cups to help them out and there’s a very good reason for it....
When I first learned about multi-cookers, I was an instant converter. One appliance to replace my rice cooker, slow cooker, pressure cooker, and more? Sign me up. I bought my first multi-cooker more than four years ago and have since used it on a weekly basis to make rice, beans, soups, veggies, and much more. Before you join me in the multi-cooker life, a big consideration to make is what functions you definitely need....

A quesadilla is a heated tortilla with melted cheese inside. But in addition to cheese, you can put practically anything in a quesadilla. Best Fillings for Quesadillas My favorites are mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, and onions. I don’t cook these ingredients first, but it really is a matter of taste. You could if you wanted to. Corn or Flour Tortillas for Quesadillas? Traditionally in Mexico quesadillas are made with corn tortillas, not wheat flour tortillas, and a melty, white cheese....
It may look and taste fancy, but this dairy-free dessert contains just two simple ingredients and takes less that 20 minutes to prepare. The texture of this pudding is dense and rich thanks to full-fat coconut milk and good-quality dark chocolate. Mixed together, these two ingredients set into a creamy, spoonable chocolate pudding. When shopping for dark chocolate, double check the ingredients to make sure it doesn’t contain milk, whey, or casein....
The Original Waldorf Salad Recipe According to the American Century Cookbook, the first Waldorf salad was created in New York City in 1893, by Oscar Tschirky, the maître d’hôtel of the Waldorf Astoria. The original recipe consisted only of diced red-skinned apples, celery, and mayonnaise. Chopped walnuts were added later to this now American classic. Mayo or Yogurt for Waldorf Salad? Some prefer their Waldorf salad made with yogurt, instead of mayo....
But you can easily make fresh pesto in the fall or winter using parsley and walnuts instead of basil or pine nuts. It’s just as green, garlicky, cheesy, and nutty. And great on pasta, with beef, or as a sandwich spread. I’ll even put it in cheese tacos. Or just keep dipping my fingers in until it’s all gone. Oops! Use immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to store....
You may be thinking, “Hmmm, sounds like a slightly alcoholic iced vanilla latte!” and you wouldn’t be far off. It’s buzzy and boozy! But as someone who doesn’t favor iced vanilla lattes (too sweet, not coffee-ey enough), but will happily sip on a White Russian any day of the week, I assure you there’s room for everyone at the White Russian table. What Does a White Russian Taste Like? The ingredients in a White Russian are vodka, heavy cream or whole milk, and Kahlúa – three ingredients that, when combined together, create a milky, dessert-like drink that can really only be described as delicious....

You’ll find curries in a myriad of cuisines, from Indian and Thai to Japanese, Korean, Jamaican, South African, and beyond. While a curry refers to any dish that features a spiced sauce, what’s in them and how they are prepared are as diverse as the cuisines and cultures they stem from.
