Roasted Winter Squash with Cilantro Chimichurri

by Garrett McCord

Roasted Winter Squash with Cilantro Chimichurri

We've all had those shocking epiphanies where suddenly you realize that somehow, someway, you've become an adult.

Maybe it was when you found yourself agreeing with Ariel's dad in The Little Mermaid. ("Young lady, you don't love that boy. You don't even know him!") Or perhaps it was when you realized you actually wanted socks for your birthday because that meant you wouldn’t have to spend your own money on them.

For me, it was when I first used the thermostat after getting my first real job after college. Before, I was simply wearing a lot of sweaters and ensuring that whatever I made for dinner required turning on the oven so it would also warm the tiny hovel my landlord passed off as an apartment.

Suddenly, I was adult with a heating bill.

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

by Elise Bauer

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

Fall has arrived and with it, the pumpkin season! There are always plenty of pumpkins to carve up around Halloween time and a great way to make use of the pumpkin seeds is to roast them for an easy, healthy snack.

I love to eat them shells and all. If they’re properly toasted and are small to medium sized, they are wonderfully crunchy and easy to eat.

Four-Cheese Lasagna with Fresh Pasta

by Sally Vargas

Four Cheese Lasagna

This is not your Aunt Mary's lasagna—or one you've likely encountered from any family member! There's no tomato sauce and no meat. Just fresh pasta sheets layered with four different kinds of delicious cheese.

This lasagna is golden with crispy-chewy edges on top and creamy insides in the middle. This makes a heavenly and decadent addition to a holiday table or midwinter feast.

How To Cook Potatoes in the Pressure Cooker

by Coco Morante

How To Cook Potatoes in the Pressure Cooker

I don't always prep or cook in advance, but boy am I glad when I do. It's so nice to go into the fridge and find things that are easy assemble into a quick meal.

Like potatoes! A pressure cooker makes fast work of steaming a bunch of cubed potatoes, and I use them for all sorts of things all week long.

Speculoos Brownie Cake + First Look at Baker's Royale Cookbook

by Cindy Rahe

Speculoos Brownie Cake

I have been a long-time follower of Naomi Robinson's blog, Baker's Royale. It was her lush and textured photography style that initially drew me in, but it's been her delicious, homemade desserts that keep me coming back.

Her new book, also titled Baker's Royale, is full of beautifully shot, approachable recipes – 75 of them!

Harvest Salad with Miso-Maple Roasted Butternut Squash

by Sabrina Modelle

Harvest Salad with Roasted Butternut Squash

This vibrant harvest salad is filled with fall's best ingredients. Butternut squash gets roasted with maple and miso, then tossed with crisp apples, dried cranberries, earthy pumpkin seeds, fresh pomegranate seeds, and a maple-Dijon vinaigrette.

The result is a salad that feels like fall on a plate!

Pressure Cooker Garlic Mashed Potatoes

by Coco Morante

Pressure Cooker Mashed Potatoes

After making mashed potatoes every kind of way, these days, it’s all about the electric pressure cooker. The potatoes come out perfectly every time, and it's so, so fast!

Whether you’re making mashed potatoes for a weeknight dinner or a big holiday spread, this is my favorite method for a perfect bowl of spuds.

Your Meal Plan for November Week 1: Cauliflower Curry, Meatballs, Slow Cooker Taco Soup & More

Simply Recipes
Meal Plan for November Week 1

Meal Plan for November Week 1

Welcome to November, everyone! This month, you can look forward to meal plans from Marta Rivera. Marta is a trained chef, mom of twins, and Army wife – and she is also one of our Simply Recipes recipe testers! Here’s what she has to say about her first week of meals:

November is in full effect! Also in full effect are the numerous commitments that literally drive us away from our kitchens and the comfort of great home-cooked meals.

Setting the stage for creating wholesome dinners for my family is very important to me. The ability to plan out my meals, prep the ingredients, and cook them quickly means I don't have to feel guilty when outside activities fill up our schedules.

I also save prep time for future meals by creating menus that use ingredients more than once. For instance, this week, you'll find peas in two different dinners. (Also exciting to a chef like me is finding these dual-use items on sale!)

I like to make sure my Monday meal is quick, fast, and meatless to save a bit of money. For meals later in the week, I check the grocery stores sales flyers to see which cuts of meat will be on sale. When you’re doing your own shopping, look for sale ingredients that are versatile such as chicken or ground beef, and substitute them in your recipes to give you some variety.

One-Pot Chicken and Rice Soup

by Aaron Hutcherson

One-Pot Chicken and Rice Soup

This easy one-pot chicken and rice soup is one that definitely deserves to be in your collection. It’s just the thing for warming you up on a cold night, or providing comfort when you're feeling under the weather.

The best part? You literally throw all the ingredients in the pot and let them simmer in the stock until the soup is done. No sautéing or browning. So easy.

The Best (And Worst) Store-Bought Pie Crusts

by Elise Bauer

Pie Crust Reviews

Do you love pie?

I do. I love to make pie. I love to eat pie. I especially love a good homemade pie crust. In fact, I’ve spent years encouraging people to make their own pie crust from scratch (and even have the world’s most fool-proof pie crust recipe with video right here on the site).

That said, I’ve learned over the years that most home cooks will use a store-bought frozen or refrigerated crust to make their pies. I get it. We are busy people. We want pie. We would rather make a pie in one hour than in two.

With that in mind, I set out to review several packaged pie crusts I could find locally, to see if there were any I would personally use and recommend, and if there were any that people should simply avoid.

 

German Chocolate Sheet Cake With Coconut-Pecan Frosting

by Cindy Rahe

German Chocolate Cake

Let's be honest. The thing that unites those of us who love German Chocolate Cake is our deep appreciation for the coconut pecan frosting.

Essentially, this frosting is a thick, butterscotch custard with tons of shredded coconut and pecans folded in. It’s what that makes this cake so delicious and unique.

Pork Stir Fry with Green Onion

by Elise Bauer

Pork Stir Fry with Green Onion

Don’t you love a good stir-fry?

The following stir-fried pork recipe couldn’t be easier. All you need is lean pork, some green onions, and garlic. You marinate thin strips of pork first in a mixture of soy sauce, a little sugar, and cornstarch.

The cornstarch marinade is a useful trick to help keep the pork from drying out when it gets cooked on that high heat. The sugar is just enough to create some caramelization for added flavor.

It helps but isn’t necessary to have a well seasoned wok. Years ago I had this big wok with wooden handles, well seasoned, in spite of a housemate’s attempt one day to scour off all of the pan’s beautiful black seasoning I had worked so hard to create.

Easy Stromboli

by Sheryl Julian

Easy Meat and Cheese-Stuffed Stromboli

You have to love a recipe that looks like you worked hard when actually you didn't do much at all.

Stromboli, a cousin of calzone, fits into that category, and when you're finished, you can feed the neighborhood.
