Pan-Fried Chicken
How to make pan-fried chicken breasts (boneless, skinless) with a simple dredge: quick, easy, everyday cooking without the drudgery
Buttermilk Ice Cream
Two buttermilk ice creams: Vanilla Bean Lemon Curd, and Chocolate with Chocolate Malt Pieces. Churned, yes, but come on … a robot does the churning! Super-creamy, custardy recipes that seem too good to be homemade. Rich and delicious.
Cheddar Meatballs
Baked cheddar meatballs made with beef, pork, onion, and garlic: a recipe for a delicious bit of everyday cooking
Coffee-Crusted Pork Roast
...with orange-cardamom jus, accompanied by caramelized Brussels sprouts and braised red cabbage. Check out our recipe.
Day-Old-Doughnut Coffee Cake
Transform leftover doughnuts and box of cake mix into an intoxicating coffee cake. (There's also a chocolate version!)
Blackberry-Saskatoon Hand Pies: Pop-Tarts, Perfected
The sour-cream-and-butter dough for these homemade Blackberry-Saskatoon Hand Pies is somewhere in between pie crust and pastry. A touch of glaze makes them perfectly sweet. They’re sort of like Pop-Tarts, except we left out the thiamine mononitrate, the palm oil (with TBHQ for freshness!), the dextrose, the high fructose corn syrup … you get the picture.
Homemade Hard Salami Pull-Apart Rolls
These homemade Hard Salami Pull-Apart Rolls are made from an easy-ish, yeast-risen bread dough. They're full of Parmesan cheese and garlic. Pair them up with a bowl of chili, or use them to make some killer sliders.
Liège Waffles
Liège waffles are a style of Belgian waffles that are made from a yeast-risen dough and feature pearl sugar.
