Sometimes, life affords you both the time and the desire to make, roll out, and bake pastry for the ultimate in comfort food: pot pie. Other times, it's entirely worth it to take a short cut and enjoy your favorite comfort food flavors in under an hour.
'Tis the season for ending special meals with a touch of class. Whether you are looking for desserts for Thanksgiving or holidays forthcoming at the end (and beginning!) of the year, it's hard to argue with a decadent dark chocolate tart that has a ribbon of almond flavor running through all of its parts.
When dinner's done, there's often that lingering desire for something a little sweet. Satisfy your sweet tooth and pay homage to the season with a stunning bundt cake that boasts the flavors of caramel apples. It's a perfect dessert for celebrating, so consider it a Thanksgiving star.

Salads can be amazing. They tend to be healthy, feature fresh produce, and come together fairly easily. That said, if your salad consists of iceberg lettuce and a tomato or two, it's time to start thinking outside the box and beyond greens.

I don't do it often, but sometimes I'm either out of eggs or have just one or two I'm saving for something else and I will bake without eggs. After all, you don't need to have eggs (or even dairy) on hand, but a day without chocolate cake is just a little cloudier than it needs to be!
Sometimes, you find yourself surrounded by the comfort food of your past and swimming in sentimentality. Other times, you look at your ingredient list and realize your menu has expanded in all of the good ways!
