A simple yet surprisingly flavorful pork recipe that's eminently doable on a weeknight, not too spicy for the kids, and with enough oomph for the adults. Did we mention there's just one pan to clean?

A nutty, oh-so-slightly-sweet, artisan-style loaf of homemade bread that's a lovely Norwegian-inspired amalgam of whole-wheat, barley, oat, and rye. Amazing.

Mojitos outside of summer? Without hesitation. But only if they're concocted with dark rum and sage, rosemary, and thyme to lend this classic cocktail a decidedly warming feel.

You read that correctly. Pork wrapped in bacon. Need we say more?

This is just about as traditional as tradition gets. Save for the slight plot twist of maple syrup. Intrigued? You should be.

What makes this mushroom barley soup so satisfying? It's easy, fast, and eminently slurpable.

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.

Spectacularly exotic yet still surprisingly familiar. That's what folks are saying about this shish taouk or middle Eastern grilled chicken with sumac and a tart pomegranate-tamarind sauce.

An Indian-inspired riff on a classic that melds crab, sweet corn, and potatoes in a curry-spiked coconut milk broth, resulting in a luxuriously rich yet surprisingly light bisque.

Made with gin, cucumber, simple syrup, and lime, this is simply a slight riff on a classic cocktail with a twist...or rather, a slice.

Essentially spaghetti casserole with veggies smothered with cheese. Sounds like supper to us.

Taco casserole. Were there ever two words more beautiful side by side?

Crazy weeknight dinners just got a heck of a lot less stressful thanks to this maple glazed salmon. Five ingredients. 10 minutes of effort. And dinner is done. Swear.

A milder alternative to the classic basil pine nut pesto, this requires just toss spinach, roasted almonds, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and olive oil in a food processor and buzz until smooth. Ten minutes and you're done.

A spectacular riff on the classic French potato and leek soup known as Vichyssoise, this is astoundingly good. So much so you may just find yourself raising the bowl to your lips.

You know chicken cacciatore--chicken made with vegetables, herbs, and tons of tomatoes--right? Wrong.

You'd never, ever guess how quick and easy it is to make this authentic Indian condiment at home. And let's not forget how delicious it is. So much so that folks are calling it "outstanding" and "magic." Enough said.

Can you roast a whole chicken in an Instant Pot? Well, yes. Kind of. Is it "technically" roasted? No. Does it have a delicious rotisserie-like flavor? You betcha.
