Best Beef Recipe. This classic French braised beef, red wine, and vegetable stew is simple and delicious. It stands above all of our other beef recipes because it offers the homey comfort and convenience of pot roast yet is versatile and sophisticated enough for entertaining. Garnish with chopped fresh thyme. --Recipe by Lia Huber (November 2004)
Friends rave every time I make this dish. It's a comfort food recipe, and I especially enjoy making it on cold or rainy days. I often use a whole chicken cut into pieces and skinned. You can make the store-bought chicken stock taste more like homemade by adding some fresh herbs and parsley and simmering until it's reduced by half.
Angel hair pasta with a butter, cream, Parmesan sauce, and plenty of fresh vegetables - broccoli, zucchini, asparagus, snow peas, tomatoes, garlic and basil.
We cut out a little of the meat, upped the veggies and used better-for-you ingredients to trim calories and fat from this enchilada dish. What we didn't trim was flavor.
Stir up this version of a Chinese menu favorite with crunchy peppers and smooth, peanutty sauce. They'll love it for the flavor; only you'll know it's low-cal and low-fat.
Grated zucchini and chopped blanched spinach, mixed with onions sauteed with bacon, parsley, and garlic, bound with eggs, topped with grated Parmesan, and baked.
This is a very basic, but exceedingly delicious, version of the much-beloved side dish. Serve it to people you love. If they don't already love you back, they will.
