The best bite of the season.

Just stir and bake.

It’ll get you in the holiday spirit.

Often, when I don’t feel like cooking, I’ll make a dinner salad, a plate of scrambled eggs and toast, or a quick beans-and-greens sauté and call it a night. But come winter I crave dinners that are way more comforting than that. When I’m looking for something to warm me from the inside out — something that is as hearty as they come — I turn to these recipes.

This refreshing white cranberry margarita is the perfect winter cocktail — suitable for Christmas, New Year’s Eve, or even just a snowy day. It’s a simple mix of just four ingredients, and a garnish of glittered cranberries and rosemary adds some seriously festive sparkle. It’s perfect for the holidays. Garnished with sugared cranberries and rosemary, this margarita is fun and festive for the holidays. It’s so refreshing.

Eating fancy at home has never been so easy.

The best thing to happen to a chocolate kiss.

Who doesn’t love crispy cheese?

Roasted fingerling potatoes are an easy and versatile potato side dish, ready to be enjoyed with anything from roast chicken to grilled steak. To really make them shine, I use a mixture of olive oil and butter to give them a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth quality. I also add a generous amount of minced garlic to infuse them with savory flavor, and a final flourish of parsley brightens everything up. They’re crispy, tender, and buttery.
