Thanksgiving

Turkey legs are slowly braised in a spice-infused stock to become more seductive than you'd ever imagined. Not your grandma's Thanksgiving now, is it?!

Everyone needs a classic, foolproof, go-to turkey gravy recipe. This is it. And all it takes is pan juices or drippings from your turkey, stock, butter, and flour. And a lot less time and effort than you'd imagine.

We'll take this sweetly tart mingling of muffin and coffee cake any time someone cares to plunk a slice down in front of us.

Sorta like potato gratin, except the nutty, cheesy white sauce swaddles leaves of spinach, not sliced spuds. Sure beats salad.

A slightly tipsy sweet potato filling topped with a crumbly streusel. Thwarting tradition at Thanksgiving never tasted so good.

If you've been thinking maybe you're done with pumpkin everything, wait'll you experience this aromatic pound cake that boasts the perfect balance of sweet and spice.

Just three ingredients--parsnips, maple syrup, and olive oil. And it's so easy. Just slice, toss, roast, and be reminded just how nice simple tastes.

Become your own bootlegger. Start with vodka, toss in some apples and spices, and wait overnight. That's it. Then splash it in a punch bowl, pour it into Mason jars or just keep it all to yourself and indulge in a nip once in a while.

"Comes together in no time." "Immensely delicious." "A keeper." That's what folks are saying about this ridiculously easy yet elegant appetizer (or, who are we kidding, simple summer supper).

These delectable kumquats are simmered in sweetness until tender and just like candy. And we can't get enough of 'em.

A comfort food phenom that's as cheesy and satisfying as macaroni and cheese...minus the macaroni.

These candied nuts are sweet and spicy and the sorta thing that friends demolish in minutes at cocktail parties and holiday gatherings yet talk about for months afterward.

Easy. Healthy. Tasty. Insanely versatile. It can even be vegetarian if you please. Trust us when we say you're going to wonder how you ever made it through winter without this recipe.

You no longer need to confront the eternal Thanksgiving dilemma of pumpkin or pecan pie. This recipe, in true egalitarian fashion, ensures you can have both.

You sure you don't like celery root? We think you'll change your mind when it's layered with potatoes, drenched in bacon-infused heavy cream, and smothered with cheese and bread crumbs.

A legitimately unexpected and badass approach to winter squash that we promise will surprise and satiate.

Truth in advertising. That's what these rustic black pepper spuds from chef Christina Tosi delivers. And simple as can be to make, with lotsa black pepper and a stealth ingredient.

One way to down your sweet potatoes? Drown them in butter, sugar, bourbon, and maple syrup. It's The Southern Way. And we can't say we have a problem with this.

An easy way to gussy up green beans and make them seem fancy without being fussy.

If you took a look at this stunning tart and thought, “I can’t possibly do that!” think again. We suspect you can.
