Fresh crab necessitates only Old Bay and very little in way of other ingredients. That’s exactly what you’ll find here.

A list of all the recipes Trisha T. has tested.
Parmesan-Crusted Grilled Cheese with Jalapeños
Why put cheese only inside your grilled cheese sandwich? This beauty is filled with Cheddar and coated with Parmesan, which means you get a creamy, melty interior, and a crispy exterior. Basically, a perfect grilled cheese.
Marinated Lentil Salad
Love lentils? Us, too. Even if you don’t, give this recipe a whirl. The combination of lentils with a spiced nut vinaigrette, fresh basil, and slabs of feta cheese may change your mind.
Skillet Chicken Thighs with Schmaltzy, Vinegary Radishes
One skillet. Five ingredients. Dinner. (Did we mention that it’s low-carb?)
Creamy French Chicken Stew
This simple chicken stew, which is chock-full of vegetables, chicken, and served in a light cream sauce, feels decadent but is surprisingly virtuous.
Morning Buns
Buttery, cinnamon and orange flavored, and rolled in sugar, these fluffy buns are a serious reason to get out of bed. Get ready to fall in love!
Fennel and Potato Soup
A spectacular riff on the classic French potato and leek soup known as Vichyssoise, this is astoundingly good. So much so you may just find yourself raising the bowl to your lips.
Sourdough Dressing with Sausage and Prunes
This little number pairs pork with prunes and sourdough for a sorta savory, sorta sweet concoction that goes spectacularly with the holiday turkey.
Pumpkin Pie Babka
This babka is full of all the flavors of fall. Pumpkin, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and a crunchy streusel topping make it unforgettable.
Stuffed Mushrooms with Chives and Black Pepper
You’re going to love the combination of flavors in these snacky little mushrooms. Umami packed with Asian flair, you might want to make extra.
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.
Super Moist Apple Cake
What makes this apple cake so incredibly moist that it stands out from the rest? Lots of things, including a lovely swirl of cream poured on top of the batter and baked right in.
Pork Chops with Kale
A pleasing riff on French cooking, apricot preserves give pork and kale a sweet twist, while olives add a briny touch.
Rigatoni with Tomatoes, Eggplant, and Mozzarella
Jumble together pasta, tomatoes, eggplant, ooey gooey mozzarella, and a splash of cream in just 35 minutes. Jamie Oliver’s quick pasta dinner also makes a mean casserole.
Roast Pork Chops with Peaches
An easy, no-fuss, one-sheet meal of seasoned, roasted pork chops, peach wedges, and red onion. Another reason to be grateful for the summer season.
Comté and Sesame Twists
The utterly French taste and sumptuousness of these fancy bébés will make every day feel like you’re walking along the Seine wearing a beret.
Julia Child’s Steak au Poivre
Julia Child updated the French classic with mixed peppercorns and allspice to lend a little intrigue. A surprisingly quick yet altogether swoon-worthy weeknight dinner.
Mujadara
Comfort food at its finest and, perhaps, easiest. Made with rice, lentils, and caramelized onions, it’s as good room temp as it is warm and goes with almost anything. Full of flavor yet also frugal.
Blackout Cake From Ebinger’s
Just like the much-ballyhooed chocolate blackout cake from Ebinger’s in Brooklyn, this one has the same pudding-like filling, the same tender chocolate crumb, and the same rich, rich frosting.
Sugar Cookies
Exactly like those soft, puffy, cakey frosted sugar cookies found in the bakery of your local grocery store that the kids beg you to buy—minus the scary artificial ingredients.
