HYMNS IN THE KITCHEN

This salad is made of such fresh, energetic ingredients, all fighting for the spotlight but at the same time performing so well together. It's the perfect addition to a grilled steak or a hearty meat sauce on pasta. I was not willing to try fennel for so long because of it's strong licorice flavor, but paired with quick-marinated purple onion and the absinthal bite of the radish I actually quite enjoyed it! Crisp and fresh, and so easy! I hope you give this recpie a try. Enjo

When I first made this dish, I could not stop munching on these pecans. Not too sweet, the slightest hint of holiday spice coming from the cinnamon, and their crunch pairs excellently with the silky roasted butternut squash. I think this will be such a delightful addition to your Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner, served alongside your beautiful roasted turkey or ham.

I would always advise not to discard the browned bits left at the bottom of a pan when searing meat. With just a few ingredients (such as a squeeze of lemon and white wine, or heavy cream and shallots), it makes a delicious pan sauce to top your meat or even a yummy dressing for a salad. I found

This meal comes together incredibly quickly, and is perfect for a week night. The vegetables bake in the luxurious yet simple cream sauce, and the paprika really makes a difference in the dish. This is my take on the lovely Mary Berry's easy fish pie, and I hope you give this one a try! I think you'll love it just as much as we did. Enjoy, friends!

This recipe is barely a recipe, really. More like an idea for a delicious snack or a quick breakfast. You can omit the sugar and heavy whipping cream if you'd like, but I found the pineapple was a little too tart for me and I didn't want to overpower the honey flavor, so I let a little sugar help it along. The heavy whipping cream gives it a beautiful silky texture. You can switch out the pineapple or mango and add in your favorite fruit, and top with whatever you like! I sav
