Transformational Turkey Pot Pies
I stock my post-Thanksgiving freezer with these, bracing myself for those long days of cookie-baking, gift-wrapping, and card-writing that start on Black Friday and steal away any time to prep a meal. I like to justify my obsession with single-serving ramekins by using them to make individual pies; well-wrapped in plastic and foil they will keep in the freezer until the new year. If you prefer, use a freezer-to-oven two quart casserole dish and serve your whole family. Quantities listed are approximately one serving; multiply as needed.
Chicken Thighs Confit
For this confit chicken recipe, let the thighs brine overnight with garlic and herbs, then place in a roasting pan, cover with oil, and roast for 6 to 8 hours.
Hangover breakfast - Kimchi and Barley pancakes
I don’t know whether Kimchi actually cures the hangover or our Korean brains and stomachs are just programmed that way, but Kimchi and dishes with Kimchi are common hangover cure in Korea. (As you could probably guess, we eat Kimchi for almost anything). These pancakes are best eaten right away, but they also keep very well in the fridge for a few days. And let's be honest, when you wake up with a hangover feeling like a zombie, last thing you want is to cook. If you have a party weekend coming up, make these pancakes in advance and keep them in the fridge. All you have to do the next day is to warm them up and maybe top up with some fried eggs, (if you are well enough to handle fire). They might just save you from a world of pain.
Salted Maple Pecans
So easy. So versatile. So addicting! Rich with pure maple syrup and a dusting of sea salt, these salty-sweet Salted Maple Pecans are the perfect garnish or treat.
Five-Spice Caramel Sauce
Caramel is total magic. This Spiced Caramel Sauce recipe gets warm sweetness from honey and a hit of spice, which makes it winter appropriate, if you ask me.

Mosto Cotto (Grape Must Syrup)
A one-ingredient, versatile Italian condiment, mosto cotto, only gets better with age. Also known as sapa, saba, or vincotto, you can use this recipe for almost everything.
Simplest roasted tomato and garlic soup
This is one of my favorite fall to summer transitional foods, for me something I make with the last big batch of local tomatoes I buy each late September. The roasting process, though, means that this will work well with tomatoes of pretty much any quality, ripeness, type and shape. This soup is bright in tomato flavor with simple ingredients, and your oven and blender or food processor do all the work! You *can* coat your baking sheet with olive oil instead of lining it, but I find that the oil doesn't really add a flavor to the soup when used in that stage, and it seemed kind of a waste. For storing and keeping soups longer, I feel that adding the fat in as a garnish if you want like with a drizzle of olive oil or cream to serve is better. It's also good for a mixed crowd of non dairy eaters. The carrot trick is something I learned from Mark Bittman, there's something in the flavor of carrots that makes tomatoes taste more tomato-y. Enjoy!
Maple Whipped Cream
A delicate maple flavored homemade whipped cream. Best served on my Chai Tea Pumpkin Pie.

David Lebovitz' Dulce de Leche
This is the only recipe to homemade Dulce de Leche that lets you easily get in to taste and peek and tweak, without also requiring regular or constant stirring.
pasta with beer-caramelized onions
this pasta dish is really rich tasting while ultimately being very light, super sweet and savory, and can be customized many different ways -- I added some cooked white beans as you can see from the photo, I could see either raw or sundried tomatoes being delicious here, roasted mushrooms or zucchini, any kind of cheese really -- or you can make this completely vegan by caramelizing the onions in olive oil instead of butter
Whole Wheat All-Purpose Baking Mix
Great recipe for homemade Whole Wheat baking mix, It's a whole wheat Bisquick remix with fresh whole wheat flour made from wheat berries and a secret ingredient.
Baked Cilantro Tofu
A quick tofu bake to add salads and sandwiches, can't guarantee you won't snack on it as well.
Kristin Donnelly's Watermelon Agua Fresca
Bitters are an ingredient you can apply much more widely than you probably realize, because they won't beach themselves on top of everything else. They wriggle in and help existing flavors bloom, much like a subtle jolt of salt or acid or heat can. If you want to know if this riff really makes a difference, taste a little cup before and after adding the bitters. The drink will become fuller-flavored and more inviting, but in a hard to pin down way. Though the "before" cup will be good, it will likely taste two-dimensional by comparison. Adapted slightly from Modern Potluck (Random House, 2016).
Lisa B.'s Tomato & Cheddar Cheese Pieche (Pie & Quiche in one!)
Well, it's easy, inexpensive & yummy! Hot or cold for brekkie, lunch or dinner! Tomatoes with cheese in a pie crust!

This Earl Grey Orange Tea combination is a no-brainer; it just makes sense. Don’t brew your tea for too long, and if you want a cocktail recipe: add some rum!
Tomato Lemonade
Sweet, tangy, and refreshing. A good way to use up some of your tomato bounty. Add some vodka and you got yourself a fancy cocktail.
Cherry , lime & basil granita
I had made this recipe a couple of years ago as part of a sponsored post and it is a treat I've gone back to repeatedly. I must admit, it was the purple basil simple syrup that hooked me into making this with a deep licorice like note, but the end result was well worth it.
Stronger-Than-Tea Ice Cream
An ultra creamy and firm ice cream with intense orange pekoe flavour that you can smell even before it starts to melt on your tongue. Miles stronger than you cup of tea.
