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

Just when you thought classic tarte tatin could get no lovelier, here comes fig tarte tatin.

Perhaps the sneakiest way ever to get kids–of all ages–to slurp something relatively nutritious for breakfast.

Tofu may not seem sexy at first glance but this quick and easy technique is seductive as heck when you need dinner done pronto. Here's how to pull it off flawlessly.

Chewy and nutty and salty and subtly sweet and guaranteed to be a little more exotic than any other cookie you've ever had. Also gluten-free as well as dairy-free and egg-free and, yes, paleo-friendly.

Yep. You won’t even miss the wheat in these crackers thanks to our gluten-free whole-grain flour blend, which provides all the characteristic crunch and sweet nuttiness of the Nabisco original.

It's no longer difficult to find a decent loaf of proper rye bread. This homemade beauty is surprisingly easy to make, milder than most, and doesn't require any yeast.

These traditional German Christmas cookies that are subtly reminiscent of gingerbread are typically called lebkuchen, although we tend to refer to them as moments of perfectly spiced deliciousness.

The 8th wonder of the world? These insanely satiating caramels are made simply with apple cider, sugar, and spice.

The perfect answer for anyone who may feel a touch sheepish about indulging in pumpkin pie for breakfast.

Our testers universally loved this quick bread that's gluten-free, dairy-free, and paleo friendly. And no one will ever know the difference. Swear.

These pumpkin swirl brownies are just as outrageously rich as you'd expect thanks to pumpkin spice cheesecake colliding with a pan of fudgy brownies.

Tender, buttery, and enhanced with a subtle citrus lilt. Just as Proust would have wanted. (No madeleine tin? No worries. They're just as lovely when made in a mini-muffin pan.)

This Southern classic is like a pound cake given its decadent amount of butter and its tender crumb. But oh, baby, wait'll you taste the bourbon glaze.

Like Nashville Hot Chicken except that it's baked rather than fried, this spicy roast chicken is doused with cayenne for a nice, mild, warm burn that you're gonna love.
