A sheet-pan dinner is the ultimate set it and forget it dinner–chop it up, season it, and slide it in the oven. This one is easy and tastes outrageously good.

White Bean Stew with Tomatoes and Rosemary
There’s something about a big old pot of beans–comforting, richly flavored, and filling. Tomatoes and rosemary add a little something special.
Apple, Celery, and Walnut Salad
This spicy wake-up call for the ladies-who-lunch crowd is a riff on the classic that includes a little unexpected yet balanced heat.
Pan Boxty ~ Irish Potato Pancake
An Irish classic for a darn good reason. Actually, three reasons—it’s shamelessly simple, flagrantly frugal, and undeniably delicious. Lovers of colcannon, rösti, latkes, and hash browns will find comfort here.
Slow Cooked Lamb and Cannellini Beans
A comforting lamb and bean stew to tide you over in the depths of winter with a splash of verve from gremolata.
Parmesan and Gruyère Cheese Soufflé
Airy and oh so rich, these stunning souffles take stiffly beaten eggs, Parmesan, and Gruyère to lofty new heights.
