This recipe has traveled to many parts of the country. That's because I've served it to guests from Washington to New Hampshire, and they always ask for the recipe before I leave! My grown children all have a copy, too-it never fails to get rave reviews.
The flavors of the Southwest come alive in this easy skillet supper featuring ground beef, picante sauce, tortillas and Cheddar cheese - it's a family favorite that's on the table in just 25 minutes.
More suited to a cocktail party than a baseball game, this riff on Cracker Jack by Atlanta pastry chef Taria Camerino is sweetened with agave nectar and spiked with tequila. Slow-baking turns the popcorn-nut mix fabulously crunchy.
Warm, coin-shaped slices of pan-fried carrots, white alubia beans, and chopped dill tossed with a tangy-sweet lemon shallot dressing. It tastes good the day you make it, even better the day after.
The noodles strike a satisfying note thanks to a garlicky Thai-inspired sauce and toppings of warm tofu and vegetables that shift with the seasons. The salad-like garnish is precisely the cool, crunchy counterpoint those chewy noodles need.
This recipe is so easy that I threw it together for a quick weekday lunch. I loved the flavor. I loved the consistency. And I loved the fact that they weren't really noodles.
This one is popular. It has everything and then some. Not something for the calorie conscious! I've used instant potatoes, but of course fresh is best. Good for the holidays.
