One-dish dinners are so called because one big scoop contains everything you could want or need to fill your belly. Everything from the veg to the meat gets layered into the same skillet, pot, or casserole dish, and cooked together. Sometimes they're ready in a matter of minutes and sometimes they bubble away for hours. Either way, these are big dishes that will easily feed a crowd — all without a pile of pots and pans to clean up afterward.
MoreHow perfectly lovely would that Lemon-Blueberry Yogurt Cake look on your Easter table this weekend? Right?!

Those Churros Balls need to be made immediately, but if it's cookies you're craving, we have three contenders to vie for your oven space. And am I the only one who wants to snitch a quick spoonful from that Banana Cream Pie?
MoreIt seems like only yesterday that the frozen yogurt craze swept the nation, cluing in the general public to what we've known for years: creamy, tart, refreshing yogurt makes a great dessert.

Spring is definitely in the air, and it's right about now that the idea of entertaining starts to have appeal again. After all, we need to remind each other what we look like without scarves covering our faces. The first get-together of spring needs a special dessert to mark the occasion, don't you think? A fluffy cake or a parfait with billowy whipped cream, something with crunchy nuts and topped with a drizzle of honey. Here are 15 recipes that we think will do the job admirably.
MoreWith spring seemingly just around the corner (maybe? please?), I can't think of anything better than a warm bowl of this spaghetti squash with tender asparagus and creamy herbed ricotta. Then again, those scallops with orzo and that citrusy millet salad are looking mighty fine, especially if you add a square of fresh rosemary focaccia to the bargain. But if you're still in a wintry mood, that braised beef over polenta or the hearty Spanish bean soup will keep you cozy, for sure.
MoreSo things are looking good with you and your special someone. Hooray! Good enough that you've decided it's time to introduce each other to your respective parents. Double hooray!

Well, here are 15 very tasty ways to stop wondering and start eating!
MoreSt. Patrick's Day is this weekend! These meatball sliders, along with a warm slice of Irish soda bread and your very own green-tinted Last Word cocktail, are exactly the kind of sustenance you need for a full day of Irish-loving fun.
