The sultry, smoky flavor of ras el hanout permeates this simple supper of eggs in tomato sauce, which takes on more sustenance than usual thanks to late-summer eggplant.

This is less a recipe and more a reminder as to the fact that some nights, simple cheese and bread and olive oil makes a perfectly respectable—enviable, even—supper.

"A revelation." "Beyond our expectations." "Deceptively simple." "I don’t have enough superlatives to describe these beauties." That's what we're hearing about these grilled lovelies.

Tastes like "bananas and blueberries and creamy icy summertime." That's what folks are saying about this spectacularly simple smoothie that has made converts of even avowed kale loathers.

Brings back memories of that sticky, cloyingly sweet blueberry syrup from breakfasts at the diner as a child. Yet recreates it with so much more class.

An easy, unexpected way to extend cherry season that's tartly sweet, subtly spiced, and surprisingly irresistible.

"Oh my God." "This may be the best potato gratin I have ever made." "Easy to make and oh so creamy." That's what we're hearing about this simple yet splurge-worthy side dish.

Bacon. Bourbon. Boom. The smokiness of cured pork lends its subtle loveliness to the South's smoothest booze.

Yes, a recipe for cinnamon sugar. Because ‪‎so often life leaves us wanting to be a kid again. And this proportion of cinnamon to sugar is the bomb.

Riz au lait is another way of saying French rice pudding. So gosh darn easy and impossible to stop eating, it's quite possibly the thing we love most about the French.

All the rich creaminess of potatoes sloooooowly roasted with your favorite roast. But in just 30 minutes on the stovetop. The secret? Braise 'em in butter.

Good and cheap. That pretty much sums up this pantry supper made with stuff we suspect you already have on hand.

This simple supper recipe requires only that you rub some spices on a hunk of pork, shove it in the oven, and not forget about it.

Easy, inexpensive, not too spicy, comforting as heck, and made with ingredients you probably already have. It also just so happens to be vegan and gluten-free.

Bake this cake in honor of Phanourious, the patron saint of lost objects, and you just might find something. Even if you never knew it was missing.

This frugal supper is laughably easy to make, European in flair, and comforting to both the palate and the pocketbook.

A little spicy, a little tangy, and a little less than an hour from start to table.

Proof that spectacularly fudgy, messily gooey, intensely chocolatey brownies can be made without butter or eggs.

The epitome of Italian comfort food. Polenta, Italian sausage, and cheese (two kinds!) are simply layered and baked. Basta.

A sigh-worthy Sunday supper sorta meal that’s inspired by classic French technique yet relies on inexpensive everyday ingredients and takes not much more effort than a PBJ. (Well, a little more effort.)
