A classic Italian vegetable soup that just happens to be loaded with so-called super foods such as kale. Seems Nonna's known what's best all along.

This bourbon-imbued after-dinner drink, a variation on classic Irish coffee, is guaranteed to make everything alright. Or at least seem it in the moment.

This recipe yields ample dry rub, which is a good thing seeing as you’re going to want to slather it on everything you smoke or grill.

You're not going to believe how ridiculously quick and easy it is to toss together this flashy hot pink pickle.

Who knew so few ingredients could conjure such big taste? Witness this robust grilled steak with its pantry-friendly spice rub.

It's as simple as X + Y = Z, with X = greens, Y = grains, and Z = a soothing, satiating bowl of soup. Finally, a practical application for algebra.

Despite this recipe having a cheater-like approach with a surprisingly short ingredient list and no waiting all day for it to be done, it tastes remarkably like the real deal. Swear.

A contemporary take on a '70s classic, these stuffed 'shrooms have an undeniable appeal—everyone's fave dinner party nosh.

Think you don't care for cauliflower soup? Think again. Rather, take a sip of this creamless wonder, then think again.

This pork loin, with its fennel and garlic rub and apples and onions roasted on the same sheet pan, is about to become your new favorite supper salvation.

It's remarkable what you can do with a can of beans. Here it's transformed into a pretty classy purée (aka poor man's hummus).

Shame we didn't have these little lovelies on our plates when we were being admonished by our parents to "eat your veggies!"

Pancakes are swell, but breakfast doesn't have an exclusive on maple syrup. Especially not when this maple roast chicken is in the house.

Wanna know how to stretch a single steak into supper for four without seeming skimpy? Your answer awaits.

If you can master this über basic recipe, you can grill a steak waaaaay better than any of your friends. Promise.

The complex, almost caramelized taste of this sweetly savory side illustrates just why the last few years have seen a resurgence in respect for cauliflower.

Fancy schmancy mac and cheese canapés? Why not? Plop these lovelies on a silver platter alongside flutes of Champagne or tuck them into a lunch box.

Pecans. Chocolate. Bourbon. Dunno about you, but that's sufficient to make us forget all about that other traditional Thanksgiving dessert. Pumpkin who?

Words sort of elude us when we attempt to describe just how stunning and scrumptious we consider this dish. Just...wow.
