A patterned bowl filled with lemony fettuccine alfredo on a white and gold plate with a glass of water and dish of Parmesan on the side.

Lemony Fettuccine Alfredo

This is as indulgent as a quick weeknight pasta dish can get with its creamy and rich (though not too rich) sauce punctuated with the lilt of lemon.

Vegan lemon broccoli bow ties in a white enamel pan with a spoon and sliced lemons, beside a white plate full of pasta.

Vegan Lemon Broccoli Bow Ties

A vegan date-night worthy pasta dish full of tangy lemon, crunchy pine nuts, and roasted broccoli. Perfect to impress that special someone.

Spaghetti Bolognese in a large metal skillet, being served with tongs, on a wooden table.

Spaghetti Bolognese

Often the first sauce we think of when we think of pasta–Bolognese is a rich, meaty, tomatoey sauce that is as comforting as it is satiating.

A purple napkin with a white plate on top, with a slice with potato rosemary focaccia garnished with rosemary and with a fork on top.

Potato Rosemary Focaccia

Focaccia gets drizzled with an intense herb oil of basil, parsley, oregano, rosemary, garlic and thyme, then loaded with slices of potato, onions, and rosemary.

A skillet filled with sloppy Joe meat mixture, flanked by a filled, untapped sandwich with a toasted top and a bag of sesame seed buns.

Sloppy Joes

A bit zingy, plenty sweet, and just the right amount boozy. Together with vanilla ice cream, you’ve got a great adult ice cream sundae.

A white oval platter holding a bowl of dill dip with potato chips beside it.

Dill Dip with Potato Chips

This dip is creamy for sure, but it’s really all about the dill. Loads of fresh, green, herby dill. As much as we love potato chips, try it on everything.

An Irish coffee glass filled with whipped coffee.

Whipped Coffee

You’ve heard about it and wondered if it’d make you #Instafamous too. We can’t guarantee that but we know that you’ll make it over and over.

Two slabs of St. Louis style ribs from Alex Guarnaschelli with some cut into individual ribs and a knife lying in the middle.

A cooked meatloaf with spinach with four slices cut from it.

Meatloaf with Spinach

Not your everyday meatloaf for sure. Filled with spinach and glazed with a sweet-spicy, finger-licking glaze, this homemade meatloaf is anything but ho-hum.
