This is kind of a twist on hummus. Three ingredients, takes about 3 seconds to make but is so delicious and healthy. People are always impressed.
Milk "Mayonnaise" (Maionese de Leite)
This recipe is based on an irresistible sauce I tried while in Spain. It was a mayonnaise made with milk and oil and no egg. There's garlic & tang from lemon.
Marge’s (Twice Cooked) Mashed Potatoes
My version is twice-baked, born of necessity, dinner party – many foods to prepare – make the mashed potatoes ahead of time and throw them in the oven.
Mashed potatoes with reconstituted milk
Irish traditional/updated. The sourness of the buttermilk added to the fattiness of the butter combine to make these potatoes the perfect food. Buttermilk and potato, when enough is consumed to give sufficient calories for the day, is an almost perfectly balanced source of protein, explaining the Irish population explosion preceding the Great Famine. The butter would have been a luxury, when added to buttermilk you are basically reconstituting milk, but in a much more interesting form.
Buttermilk-Mashed Potatoes with Buttery Scallions
This recipe is a take on champ, a traditional Irish dish of potatoes mashed with scallions or spring onions. I use buttermilk and Yukon Gold potatoes.

Mostarda Mantovana - Fruit and Mustard Sauce from Mantova
The oldest recipe for Mostarda Mantovana was published in the 14th Century and is still the basis of the modern recipes. It is mostly made with pear and apple.
Sheepherder's Pilaf
My grandfather was a Basque sheepherder and this is a family staple served with roasted leg of lamb. We all fight to pour the pan drippings from the lamb over our pilaf!
Vermicelli Rice - Ruz Ma Shayreeyeh
This recipe is a regular in Syrian and Lebanese homes. The bronze, glistening vermicelli rice adds texture when eaten alongside meat and vegetable dishes.
Dill Rice the Afghani Way- Chelo Shibit
Chelo means rice and shibit means dill, in Dari, one of the national languages of Afghanistan. This recipe has a lovely herbal quality from the dill over rice.
Garlic Rosemary Butter
We use this rosemary garlic butter recipe with everything from garlic bread and scrambled eggs, to pasta and mashed potatoes. You can use other herbs, too.
Sweet Potatoes a la Vermont
This recipe has become a staple in our house. It's very important to let the baked potatoes cool a bit before attempting to peel the skin off! This mush is very tasty when served alongside something quite savory, such as roast chicken. It makes a great Thanksgiving side dish, too, naturally.
Sweet Potatoes Anna with Prunes
This can be finished with a dusting of sugar and a couple of minutes of broiling, for a brulee top. It can also be done using apples and prunes, or just apples.
Sweet Potato Gratin with Smoked Paprika and Cayenne

Can't live without you Garlic Infused Olive Oil
I decided to make life simple and make my own DIY Garlic Oil and have it handy for all the recipes that call for garlic. Made with only 2 ingredients! Try it!
Cranberry Salad
My mom has made this for Thanksgiving just about every year. It has a bold taste and almost crunchy texture that makes it a great accompaniment to the less-bold fare on the Thanksgiving table. It is an old school recipe that has stood the test of time for a reason, it's great!
Union Square Cafe Brussel Sprout Hash
This was the recipe I made, along with a duck stew, for my parents when Eric and I told them we were getting married. It was a complete Danny Meyer menu and the hospitality worked like a charm. We are still married 16 years later and my sister-in-law requests the hash every Thanksgiving.
"An Nyoung" Brussel Sprouts
Brussel sprouts and kimchi may seem like an unliky combination, but opposites attract! The woodsy, mellow flavor of brussel sprouts is the perfect foil to kimchi's pumgent fire, especially when roasted to crisp perfection and dressed with sesame oil. For me, this is best served over brown rice.
Perfect Brussels Sprouts
Brussels sprouts are probably my favorite vegetable. I can't say no to them on a restaurant menu, or in a farmer's market. But it's understandable why some people are just deadset against them - they can be terrible when incorrectly cooked! This recipe plays up the natural flavor of sprouts, while infusing it with the flavor of chicken stock. You can of course substitute water for the stock, but I find it takes the sprouts to a new level. - Hotplate Gourmet
Bacony Brussel Sprouts
We loved the combination of brussel sprouts and pancetta from Babbo... so we set off to make our own version. As someone who hadn't had a brussel sprout in her life until after age 25, this has come to be one of my all-time favorite side dishes!
Spicy Squash
Chipotle taste makes squash more interesting to folks who aren't fans of mashed vegetables.
Sweet Potato Puree with Goat's Cheese and Smoked Paprika
This has been a staple at all my Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners for years now. I love the combination of sweet potatoes and goat's cheese (I've also posted a frittata made with the same two ingredients), and the creaminess of the cheese means you don't need to use any butter or cream, like you usually find in other sweet potato purees. But it's the smoked paprika that really makes this stand out - get the best you can find. If you're making this for the holidays (or any day) and are pressed for time or oven space, you can boil the potatoes instead for 10 to 15 minutes, but you'll lose the added depth of flavor you get from roasting them.
Classic French Potato Purée - Extra Smooth
This recipe is my version of the best potato purée I have ever tasted, the classic French purée made by Chef Joël Robuchon with lots of fresh cold butter.
