For a tasty treat, try these quick and easy snacks that are almost too good to be true.
Salsa rustica is an Italian-inspired blend of fresh herbs, capers, vinegar, and oil. Here, it's made with parsley and used to dress a sheet-pan supper of meaty sea-bass fillets, warm spinach, and garlicky sweet potatoes.
Cook a perfect roast chicken for Sunday lunch or Christmas, served with the ultimate gravy, homemade bread sauce, easy roast potatoes and pigs in blankets.
This easy pumpkin bread, scented with orange and filled with chopped chocolate, is a winner. You can use homemade pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin puree. When buying canned pumpkin, make sure you buy the can with “pure pumpkin” on the label, not one that says “pie mix” or already has spices mixed in. For the chocolate, we love using dark chocolate, but milk or white chocolate would also be delicious. When measuring the flour for this recipe, either weigh it or use the “spoon and level” method: Fluff the flour, spoon it into the measuring cup, and level off the top with a flat edge.
Thanks to mild-mannered baby spinach and silky sautéed leeks, this weeknight-friendly broccoli soup not only gets an extra boost of nutrients like iron and vitamins B and C—it also takes on a most vibrant color of green and boasts a velvety texture without any heavy cream in sight! A drizzle of tangy crème fraîche and a few crunchy pretzel nuggets serve as the finishing touches to this wholesome and warming bowl.
Our easy sheet pan chicken thighs recipe is fuss-free and perfect for busy nights. We keep the seasoning simple, but feel free to throw your favorite spice blend on top of the chicken and potatoes.
Beef Wellington is the perfect main for a special dinner. Cooking a spectacular dinner for friends and family has never been simpler with shop-bought pastry.
With homemade rough puff pastry and a creamy filling, this pie made from your roast dinner (or Christmas dinner) leftovers will leave everyone speechless. The pastry freezes really well, so you can have it made ahead for almost instant luxury.
Fluffy inside, crunchy outside, these roast potatoes are a perfect sidekick to any roast dinner. (They're even better the next day,
These blueberry cheesecake bars are a dream! They combine the tangy flavor of lemon cheesecake with sweet blueberries and a crumbly brown sugar topping. If you can’t find fresh blueberries, feel free to use frozen ones or try other berries like raspberries or blackberries. Make sure you chill the baked cheesecake thoroughly before cutting them into bars.
This simple ragù imitates an Italian dish that’s usually made with fresh beef and tomatoes, simmered for hours until the meat falls apart in delicate fronds at the touch of a fork. Stewed steak in gravy perfectly replicates the slow-cooked tender meat of its grander cousin
This chicken fricassee recipe is made using only one pan and features the spring-forward flavors of fennel and artichokes in a tangy, vinegar-boosted sauce. It calls for a whole chicken cut into parts, which will please light and dark meat lovers alike. As the chicken braises, the fennel and artichokes soften slightly, lending their flavor to the cooking liquid. Between the stovetop and oven, this recipe only requires about 35 minutes of cook time before it’s ready to hit the table. It’s delicious served on its own, but the addition of steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread for soaking up the sauce would certainly be welcome.
I love this homemade queso made with cheese, milk, chiles, and pickled jalapeños. For the smoothest queso, use some American cheese. Or skip the American cheese and swirl in a bit of cream cheese instead. Read why in the article above. If you don’t like the idea of cream cheese or American cheese in your queso, you can still make queso dip! Use any melty cheese, but remember that the dip won’t be as smooth and is best eaten immediately.
We love this easy homemade pumpkin butter made with fresh pumpkin and maple syrup. If you do not want to roast your own pumpkin, you can use canned or fresh pumpkin puree in this recipe; check the tips section for our notes.
This comforting chicken and broccoli pasta bake is a good choice for a healthy dinner. For people following a diet of 1200–1500 calories a day, this is a filling dinner choice.
This chicken Alfredo recipe is one of our family’s favorites and always hits the spot for an easy, delicious dinner! We skip the heavy cream for the sauce and call for sour cream, butter, parmesan, and starchy pasta cooking water. The sour cream is lighter and adds a delicious tanginess to the sauce. If your chicken breasts are thick, consider pounding them to an even thickness before cooking (not required, but it helps them cook more evenly).
