Going for a pigskin theme for the big game? You need this. Easy as can be to whip together and it's been described as being "disturbingly good." Too good, in fact, to let pass.

A richly porky, nicely salted, slightly peppery, pleasantly sweet taste with a lingering maple syrup flavor. That's what you can expect from this crazy easy homemade bacon.

We've been wobbly in the knees for these sweet and shatteringly crisp little Spanish olive oil tortas. And now that we know how to make them at home, we can't decide if that's a good thing or not...

"Wow!" "Off-the-charts good!" "Divine." "Amazingly juicy and tender." "A definite keeper." That's what we're hearing about these subtly and beguilingly spiced chops.

After tasting this richly spiced yet surprisingly nuanced recipe we asked them to try, someone suggested we change our name to "Leite's Cauliflower." Hmmm...

Savory, spicy, tangy, and oh so easy, this sticky apple cider glaze is the essence of autumn. Gussies up all manner of chicken and pork.

These flaky French pastries are dainty, diminutive, and irresistible as can be (typed while licking the sugar from our fingers).

Clobbered by a guilty conscience each time you let vegetables languish in the fridge? Yeah, us, too. Until this recipe.

And you thought you didn't have time for breakfast. We're changing that with this handy dandy technique.

"Spectacular." "Sinful." "Easy." "Airy." "Buttery." "Lofty." "Perfect." That's what folks are saying about these lovely buttermilk biscuits.
