Fennel and Blood Orange Salad
The classic Sicilian winter salad: this traditional fennel salad is simple with just blood oranges, sliced and seasoned with a pinch of salt & olive oil.

Simple Roast Turkey
For all the attention we lavish on Thanksgiving turkeys, the truth is more work does not necessarily yield a better bird. That's right: You can skip brining, stuffing, trussing and basting. Instead of a messy wet brine, use a dry rub (well, technically a dry brine) — a salt and pepper massage that locks in moisture and seasons the flesh. No stuffing or trussing allows the bird to cook more quickly, with the white and dark meat finishing closer to the same time. And if you oil but don’t baste your turkey, you’ll get crisp skin without constantly opening the oven.

Cheesy Crack Buddies (Chocolate Covered Cheez Its)
This Chocolate Covered Cheez Its recipe was inspired by Chex-Mix Puppy Chow/Muddy Buddies, Toffee Crack, and the Cheddar Cheese and Caramel Popcorn mix recipes.

Apple Chips
I borrowed the technique for these from Rivka, whose Cocoa Pear Crisps, were an early recipe contest winner. You don't need to add anything to the apples, but I often sprinkle half of them with a little cinnamon to keep things lively. Feel free to experiment with different spices like ginger, allspice, or even cardamom.

The Best Chocolate Fudge Frosting
This chocolate frosting is everything you could hope for from a chocolate frosting. It cools to a thick, fudge-like consistency and in our house is used for drizzling on birthday bundt cakes. But it is also wonderful smushed onto a cupcake or covering a big bowl of ice cream and if you need some real chocolate therapy a big scoop of it definitely won't kill you!

Lime Cream Cheese Frosting

Honey Buttercream Frosting
Because there's no powdered sugar, just honey, cornstarch, and butter, this frosting recipe is a little softer and richer than a traditional buttercream.

This is a cold-weather quick soup from my childhood. Adapted recipe of my mother and grandmother (theirs have way more milk in it-I don't like drinking milk).
