Holidays, meet your new tradition. Creamy sauce with a horseradish kick accompanies a glorious (and gloriously easy) prime rib. A showstopper that gives you time to celebrate.
Makes great barbecue sandwiches! You can use your favorite cola and sauce to vary the tastes. Good to freeze in smaller portions and pull out as needed.
Move over marinara. Our creamy Parmesan sauce pairs perfectly with spinach, shrimp and crab for a new take on lasagna that's an easy way to get your family eating seafood.
Neatniks, rejoice! You get the crunch of celery, the heat of sauce and the cool of blue cheese in a bun with Buffalo chicken, minus the messy fingers you get with wings.
Yes, you can always use instant. But food editor Margo True swears by steel-cut: "I love it because it has a chewier texture than instant or ordinary rolled oats and a deep, nutty flavor." It also freezes well (add the fruit after defrosting), so make a big batch on the weekend.
When entertaining guests, I bring out this savory soup while we're waiting for the main course. It's simple to makeājust saute the onions early in the day and let the soup simmer until dinner-time. In winter, big bowls of it make a warming supper with a salad and biscuits.
This quick and easy recipe is so much better than the canned stuff. Great as a first course, or with salad or sandwiches. Of course, you can use it in your favorite recipes, too. To make it thicker, use less stock and/or use heavy cream instead of the half-and-half cream or milk.
