They’re ridiculously creamy.

It’s equal parts tart, sweet, and silky.

King cakes are made around the world as part of the festival of the Epiphany, but in New Orleans, king cakes have truly taken on a life of their own. From the start of Carnival on January 6 through Mardi Gras at the beginning of February, you’ll find one of these sweet, color-splashed king cakes just about everywhere. Did you get “the baby”? That means you bring the next cake — and we have just the cake you’ll want to bring.

This one’s for all the chocolate-lovers out there.

This vegetable jambalaya is faster and just as good, in my opinion, as traditional jambalaya (which typically has andouille sausage, chicken and/or seafood). With the “holy trinity” of vegetables, juicy tomatoes, and long-grain rice, this is a fantastic main dish (with some optional add-ins, if you want) or a hearty side dish to serve alongside your favorite main.

Biting into a beignet is like biting into a buttery, fluffy pillow. When fried in hot oil, the slightly savory dough yields bite-size nuggets with perfectly crisp exteriors and tender interiors that beg for a dusting of powdered sugar (did you know you can make your own?) and a cup of freshly brewed hot coffee. New Orleans-style beignets are probably the most well-known beignets in the United States, and they’re surprisingly easy to make at home.

This is the ultimate pasta dish.

Every year as the holidays approach, I eagerly anticipate holiday baking and decorating sugar cookies. And every year, they don’t exactly turn out as planned. That’s because decorating cookies is a lot easier said than done — especially if you’re a perfectionist like me who likes straight lines and clean edges. But this year, I’m prepared. I recently got to work developing a simple royal icing recipe that makes cookie decorating as stress-free (and mess-free!

Over my years of writing for The Kitchn, I’ve shared almost all of my favorite holiday cookies, from my mother’s famous peppermint cream-filled butter cookies (followed by the much less finicky peppermint cream squares the following year) to rugelach and gingerbread cookies. I’ve saved one of my most beloved cookies for last. These candy cane cookies are the best.

It's our go-to brunch dish for a reason.

It's such an easy way to please a crowd.

It's unreal.

Bonus: It's ready in 30 minutes.

I can’t think of a brunch dish classier than a good slice of quiche. With a savory, custardy filling — often speckled with all types of cheeses, veggies, and meats — and a buttery-rich crust, quiche is downright showstopping. It’s the dreamiest dish to dig into for a special family breakfast, a weekend brunch, or simple lunch or dinner.

Consider them the ultimate comfort cookie.

It tastes just like Hamburger Helper.

It's tropical and coconut-y.

Answering the question "What's for dinner?" has never been this easy.

Spiking is optional.

Worth waking up for.

It might even be better than the Thanksgiving meal itself.

There's a secret pantry staple that makes it the best ever.

I'm never making it another way.

Because leftover Thanksgiving sandwiches are overrated.

You'll really want to eat these leftovers straight from the pan.

Don't mess with a classic — unless you can improve it.
