Latest recipes from Simply Recipes.   Here is your update from Simply Recipes. Happy cooking!   Roasted Winter Squash with Cilantro Chimichurri by Garrett McCord 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.

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.

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

— Trouble reading this email?  View in browser 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.

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. Continue reading "The Best (And Worst) Store-Bought Pie Crusts" » Read more →   German Chocolate Sheet Cake With Coconut-Pecan Frosting by Cindy Rahe 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. Continue reading "German Chocolate Sheet Cake With Coconut-Pecan Frosting" » Read more → Pork Stir Fry with Green Onion by Elise Bauer 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. Continue reading "Pork Stir Fry with Green Onion" » Read more → Easy Stromboli by Sheryl Julian 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.
