Egg Cream

For a truly classic egg cream, the chocolate syrup should be Fox’s U-Bet, and the fizz should be very strong, like the bubbles in seltzer from a siphon. But however you prepare it — and feel free to adjust the proportions to your liking — it makes for a sweet, quick refresher or even dessert on a summer day.

The beauty of this dish is its flexibility. You can mix in your favorite veggies like spinach, mushrooms, or peppers, or keep it classic and meaty. The filling is savory, cheesy, and satisfying -- and once the shells are stuffed and nestled in sauce, the oven (or stovetop) does the rest. Whether you're cooking for your family, hosting guests, or prepping comfort food for the week, this recipe is easy to make and even easier to love. Serve it with garlic bread, a fresh salad, or just a fork and an appetite -- it's always a hit.

Sour Cream Baked Doughnuts

You’re a mere 25 minutes away from freshly baked sour cream doughnuts when you make them at home. The vanilla and nutmeg in the batter make them taste like your favorite store-bought cake doughnuts, but you can actually enjoy these fresh doughnuts warm, when you make them in your kitchen. Melted butter gives them a rich flavor, and sour cream ensures that the crumb is tender and moist. Enjoy them plain, or with a heavy dusting of powdered sugar. Because these doughnuts taste best the same day they are baked, this recipe only makes a half dozen, but if you’re feeding a bigger crowd, you can simply double the recipe to make a full dozen, baking the doughnuts in two batches.
