Quick and Easy Gravy

My homemade gravy recipe is quick and easy. If you’ve roasted chicken, turkey, or beef, use the drippings left in the roasting pan. They make the gravy extra flavorful and seasoned. You can also make gravy without drippings and put stock or broth in its place. Store-bought stock is usually underseasoned. Take care when seasoning with salt and pepper towards the end of the recipe. Finally, for more flavor, whisk in mushroom powder. This is optional but adds a deep, savory flavor.

Our Favorite Red Enchilada Sauce

Inspired by authentic enchilada sauce, our recipe combines dried chilies, garlic, onion, and spices to make a rich, flavorful sauce perfect for enchiladas. Many dried chilies will work in this homemade enchilada sauce. We love the combination of guajillo and ancho chilies. Guajillo chilies have a natural smokiness and are moderately hot, while ancho chilies are mild and have a fruity, chocolate-like aroma. When combined, the enchilada sauce tastes rich and savory with just a hint of spice. Add one or two hotter chilies like New Mexico or Cascabel for a spicier sauce. You can also make the sauce spicier by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Chocolate Chip Pancakes

My kids love these chocolate chip pancakes that are light and fluffy and loaded with gooey chocolate. You can also sprinkle the chocolate chips on top once the pancakes are on the griddle instead of folding them into the batter — that way you can adjust the amount of chocolate chips per pancake.
