Shaved Brussels Sprout Salad with Pears, Toasted Almonds, and Parmesan
There’s been some debate about whether or not you should serve salad at Thanksgiving. My stance? A traditional salad — with wan lettuce leaves from a bag, dried cranberries (the most clichéd Thanksgiving salad ingredient), and toasted pecans — is a pretty depressing thing to see on the table, TBH.

How To Add Flair To Your Banana Bread
My dad has a joke he makes whenever someone his age has a birthday: “Don’t buy any green bananas.” I buy green bananas every week, but I’m only 41.

A French Feast for Craig’s Birthday (And The Best Soup I’ve Ever Made)

Roasted Apple & Pear Sauce
No one gets very excited when you say “apple sauce”–well no one except, maybe, people who just had their wisdom teeth out–but throw the word “pear” in there and the word “roasted” and you start to whet people’s appetites. My appetite was certainly whet when I saw this recipe in The Barefoot Contessa’s newest book,…

Balsamic Glazed Chicken With Grilled Radicchio & A Farm Wife’s Fresh Pear Tart
The title of this post is deceitful. Roasting a chicken is indeed a simple pleasure, but making a balsamic glazed chicken is slightly more complicated. Not much more complicated–it may still qualify as simple–but this simple guy had an issue. See the beautiful chicken with the crisped skin, browning in the oven? I wish I…
