Before you know it, we'll be wanting to enjoy our meals outdoors more and more. Get ahead of the game with a quick, easy, and delicious pasta salad that is great with all kinds of meals.
When you need something healthy, beautiful, and bright on the table, look to this amazing salad that, like its name implies, has it all. Everything from crunchy broccoli and almonds to colorful gems like pomegranate seeds and peas comes together in a salad that features hearty vegetables, lots of texture, bacon, and a dressing that pops!
With Thanksgiving behind us, many are forging ahead and preparing for the December holidays. For some, that means setting up and decorating a Christmas tree. In our home, that's met with a lot of enthusiasm and a regular meal doesn't often happen. So it's time for tree trimming snacks!
The key to a perfect Thanksgiving (or any other time of the year -- turkey is delicious and should be enjoyed regularly) turkey is salt and heat. Most people have the roasting part of that down more or less, but did you know that pre-salting (or dry-brining) is the best way to give a nod to the salting part?
If you are planning an end of summer picnic, make sure you give a nod to the vegetarians in your gathering by making these amazing mushroom and roasted pepper sandwiches. But make more than you think you'll need ... they've been known to get gobbled up by the carnivores as well!
It's August and many people are enjoying leisurely beach vacations, hosting long weekends away, or pulling out the tents and going camping. What to serve a crowd that doesn't involve much -- or any --in the way of kitchen time? Grab a bevy of bagels and make a sweet and savory spread that will impress!
Just in time for the Fourth of July, a gorgeous salad sporting the colors of the flag can find its way to your table in minutes. It's the perfect accompaniment to all your favorite backyard barbecue traditions.
Summer dining at its best has you letting your slow cooker and grill team up to give you a spicy-sweet citrus pulled pork to serve on taco shells, buns, or even rice. Feed a crowd without having to spend time a lot of time fussing.
If you love goat cheese, you'll adore this light, fluffy whipped chèvre dip and, before you know it, you'll be finding new ways to use it. Baked potato? Check. Bruschetta? Check. With a spoon and a bib tied beneath your chin? Check!
Holiday entertaining often leaves us with lots of question marks in our menu planning when it comes to side dishes to pair with the stellar main courses we choose. Embrace the season and consider Brussels sprouts cooked with crisp bacon and tangy apple cider.
