This Vegan and Gluten free blood Orange Jello recipe is a great fruit snack. They can be made with or without additional sugars [I used a small amount of honey].

Roasted Baby Turnips with Dijon-Shallot Vinaigrette and Tarragon
Oftentimes at brunch, I'm so underwhelmed by the side dishes: usually just some overdressed frisée or a bad biscuit (hey, I may live in Brooklyn, but this Southern girl knows what a real biscuit is supposed to taste like). This delicious side dish is easy to pull together at the last minute, but your guests will never know! It's a great compliment to any brunch table.
30 Minute Sweet Pickled Onion
This Japanese pickled onion recipe can be used on burgers (especially lamb), in guacamole, with soft boiled eggs, or really anything if you're like me.
Garlicky Chard
Want to take a break from kale? Give chard a chance. It’s a nutritious green and makes a great warm salad. I made this super easy warm chard-red quinoa salad in less than 15 minutes for a quick lunch. Its loaded with garlic and I topped it with tomatoes to add some freshness. You can add other veggies for more color and taste, add an egg, grilled tofu…this has endless possibilities!!

Chocolate Dipped Bavarian Pretzels with Salted Caramel Drizzle
A simple way to spice up Bavarian pretzels. Thanks to the The Brown Eyed Bake (thebrowneyedbaker,com) for the delicious salted caramel sauce recipe.
Charred Peppers & Lemon Anchovy Vinaigrette
This is one of those effortless recipes requiring just a few fresh, high quality ingredients and very little labor. This side is great year round served with grilled meat, seared fish or just thrown into a fresh salad, it's hard to go wrong with fresh produce, lemon and a little anchovy. And of course, if is too still too frigid to get out to the grill, throw your peppers in a hot pan or under the broiler to get a crisp char.
Molly Stevens' Roasted Fennel, Red Onion, and Orange Salad
Three of our winter standbys -- an orange, an onion, and a roasted fennel bulb -- walk into an oven together and morph into a warm winter salad recipe.
Puntarelle -- Roman Wild Chicory with Anchovy Dressing
I got this recipe from a (Italian-American) farmer at the Union Square Greenmarket who specializes in cruciferous vegetables. He advised the Puntarelle - indeed all the heavy greens -- are tastier when picked after the frost. And he suggested this dressing is as bold as the greens. Anchovy lover that I am, I've been dressing all sorts of vegetables with it, and even saucing fish fillets.
Edamame with Matcha Salt
Instead of using plain sea salt for the edamame pods, I added matcha to it. This instantly made my mid-afternoon snack extra special.
4-ingredient Miso Avocado Bowl
This can be gussied up with fresh garlic, a drip of bright citrus or some fruity olive oil, but after making A House in the Hill's kale noodle bowl for the umpteenth time, I've discovered that for me, making this an everyday meal means just four simple ingredients and the same explosive flavor. Sometimes I add shaved carrot, steamed edamame, broccoli or sesame seeds, but this is the base I always return to--served hot or cold. (Note: Authentic buckwheat noodles are gluten-free, but most brands in the U.S. contain wheat flour.)
Anchovy Onion Butter
Anchovies can sometimes be too salty for me...until I make this recipe, where I mix them with caramelized onions and whip them into a rich, creamy butter.
Italian buttercream
When i discovered their wasn't an italian buttercream recipe on this site, I had to remedy that. I adore this icing, its not too sweet and perfect on any cake, or spoon!
Maialino's Olive Oil Cake
This olive oil cake recipe with citrus and Grand Marnier has a crackling crust and aromatic oil-rich middle. It's an irresistibly moist and flavorful dessert.
Easy Chipotle Chicken Relleno
I developed this super quick and easy filling for our family's annual tamal-making explosion, and it has proved to to be useful for much more than that! My favorite is to top a fluffy masa cake with the chicken filling, and garnish with cotija, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime--especially if that masa cake is made with cheese enriched tamal batter grilled on a skillet--but also super topping a fresh, steamed corn tortilla. Use tiny torillas or good quality corn chips for appetizers..
Alice's House Truffles 4.0
Rather than tossing the truffles in the cocoa with your hands, pour them back and forth between two bowls until coated. This Alice Medrich recipe is so easy!
Last Minute Garlic Chicken
I prepared this last-minute chicken recipe when I was in true despair. No food in the fridge and just these few drumsticks in the freezer. And some garlic.
spiced white melon salad
this dish featured an heirloom "snow leopard" melon, but any fresh melon would be wonderful with the tangy and tart flavor of sumac and my favorite aleppo red chilies.
