Beef Bone Broth : Allan Penn 1/18 Remember the good old days when "bone broth" was simply called "beef stock"? Sigh. Whatever you call it, it's still simple to make. And still spectacular to taste. Recipe Roasted Bone Marrow : Leigh Beisch 2/18 Though traditionally a first course, bone marrow is sufficiently rich to be both first course and last course. And maybe each course in between. Recipe Gluten-Free Brownies : Josh Weissman 3/18 These are, quite frankly, as fudgy and rich as the real deal. Despite being flourless. Swear. Make a batch and see if anyone can tell the difference.

Recipe Cauliflower Fried Rice 11/18 Low-carb, paleo-friendly, and darn near indistinguishable from the real thing. Swear.
