This was one of the first entries in our Best Healthy Casseroles contest, and I knew right away that it was a favorite. Why? Because I wanted to cook it immediately! This simple dish from reader Nancy takes just a few ingredients, and through the magic of the oven, transforms them into an aromatic dish of perfectly cooked rice studded with chicken and shiitake mushrooms, flavored with soy, ginger, and garlic.

Does your heart skip a beat at the thought of cinnamon French toast with a side of bacon? This weekend, skip the middle man with this creamy, gooey, crunchy and just-slightly-savory casserole. It practically begs to be front and center at your next brunch. More
I first read about chicken bone broth in Jessica Theroux's Cooking with Italian Grandmothers. The simplicity of the recipe — which consists of chicken bones, a half of a lemon, and some water — intrigued me, so I gave it a try. I was amazed to discover just how flavorful and rich this broth was! There is nothing muddling up the pure taste of chicken. Add a little salt and it becomes the most simplest of soups, a sipping broth for those cold inclement days best spent indoors. More
Celery is one of those things that can languish in the back of our fridge for a long time. It's hard to use an entire bunch. We chopped three or four stalks into our Thanksgiving stuffing, and this is what we did with the rest... More
Earlier this week we rounded up some vegetarian and vegan comfort food recipes from the Kitchn archive. Here's a brand new recipe for a warm and savory vegan tofu and vegetable pot pie with a super buttery, flaky crust. Its appeal isn't limited to vegans, either. My partner, a bacon and barbecue loving omnivore, confessed that he liked this pot pie even better than the meat versions he's had! More
What do you get when you combine meatballs, fresh pasta and loads of cheese? The best comfort food/one-dish-meal/entertaining dish to come out of the oven. More
This salad, with its deep flavors and rich ingredients, is a perfect example of autumn's most delicious offerings. In fact, it would almost be too rich if it wasn't for a bright splash of sherry vinegar and the light, spicy green of arugula. Bring it to a buffet, pot luck or serve it as a light supper on its own.

More stew then soup, this meal-in-a-bowl is hearty, thick and impossibly satisfying. More
Here's a simple curry that can stay vegetarian (vegan even) or, with the simple addition of some shrimp or chicken, make a fine dish for the carnivore. The most important thing is that this delicious curry is built largely from your canned goods stash: coconut milk, tinned chickpeas and tomatoes. Just add a few fresh veg, some spices and Bob's your uncle! More
