Tonnato Deviled Eggs

Wake up deviled eggs with a bright and briny tonnato-inspired filling. Top with crispy fried capers and salmon roe for extra salty pop.

Winter Salad Hummus Bowls

Massage kale and brussels sprouts in a sweet, tangy dressing of rice vinegar, soy sauce, and honey, then serve it with creamy hummus and jammy eggs.

Seedy Power Sprinkle

This savory granola will magically boost the flavor, protein, and crunch factor of any dish. Sprinkle it over a plate of whipped ricotta and crispy broccoli for an easy, veggie-centric meal.

Salad Pasta

Not pasta salad—it’s salad pasta. A whole salad’s worth of greens, folded into pasta to make a complete dinner in one bowl.

Caramel Apple Breakfast Cobbler

This cozy, sweet-and-savory make-ahead cobbler is ideal for busy holiday mornings.

Chilaquiles With Bacon, Eggs, and Cheese

This one-skillet meal is ideal for both chilly evenings and weekend mornings when hot melted cheese and comfort is all you want. Leave a handful of chips undressed to tuck into the skillet at the last minute. Their salsa-free points add the perfect layer of crunch.

Smoked Trout Croquettes

These bite-size mashed potato croquettes are filled with smoked trout, mozzarella, Parmesan, and chives.

Vanilla Butter Anchovy Toasts

Anchovy lovers: This one’s for you. The combination of vanilla butter and anchovies is the perfect combination of sweet and salty.

Coconut Cabbage and Tofu With Lemongrass and Ginger

For this vegetarian dinner, we roast thick wedges of cabbage, carrots, and tofu in a spiced coconut milk sauce until they're wonderfully softened and caramelized.

Spreading mayonnaise on top of the salmon fillets helps the spiced panko stay put and keeps the fish moist while it roasts.
