Is stuffing the best Thanksgiving side dish? I would say yes, although mashed potatoes and gravy has to be a close second. A good stuffing recipe delivers a balanced combination of flavors and textures, without being bland or mushy. Last Thanksgiving, I made this cranberry sausage stuffing for the first time, and it got rave…

Sweet, fresh corn on the cob is a classic taste of summer. Slathered with butter, sprinkled with salt and pepper, freshly picked corn brings a smile to everyone’s face. Every week or so during the summer, I’ll stop by my favorite farm stand for some local corn that was picked that very day. When summer…

I named this…
I think think you could cover just about any food in panko and fry it, and it would turn out delicious. In case you’re not familiar with panko, it’s a Japanese-style breadcrumb.

The pressurized steam infuses the potatoes with moisture, unlike boiling which will actually dry them out. These Instant Pot crispy potatoes have become…
Meet my new love – Sriracha mayo. I think of Sriracha mayo as an “everything sauce,” because it really perks up chicken, pork, beef, seafood, or potatoes. It’s made with just five simple ingredients, and it’s simply addictive! I always make Sriracha mayo to serve with my cast iron steak bites. You can also serve…
