Shredded carrots have a firm crunch and sturdy bite that rival all other vegetables, and when they get thrown in a mix like this glorious salad, they are an essential supporting player.

A baked cookie that’s gluten-free and vegan, made without refined sugar and fantastically soft, chewy, and delicious? I wasn’t sure it was possible, but after a whole lot of tinkering (and a little bit of crying), I finally found the cookie I was looking for. These almond spice cookies are kind of like a chewy peanut butter cookie, filled with spices for the holidays.

I go back and forth on what I think is the most useful piece of equipment in my kitchen. My cast iron skillet is always high on the list, as is a good Dutch oven. But these days, as it gets colder, I think my slow cooker is definitely in the top spot. When you realize that you can make wonderful dishes like this vegan pumpkin curry while you are gone, it’s easy to see why the slow cooker is #1. See those lovely cubes of fresh pumpkin? That is seriously the hardest part of this recipe.

Rich in antioxidants, fiber, and natural sweetness, this grab-and-eat fruit salad in a jar is the perfect make-ahead healthy snack. Enjoy it as a mid-morning refresher or a late-afternoon pick-me-up.

It’s delicious the day you make it, but like most soups, it’s even better the next day. So make a big batch of this plant-based chowder and enjoy it all week long. We’re calling this soup a chowder, given the fact that potatoes are the key to both its velvety base and its hearty texture.

It's on the table in less than 30 minutes.

There are endless ways to enjoy it throughout the week.

It’s hard not to be intrigued by a dish with a title like this. Leave it to the Italians to name a recipe that lends a few laughs. What the heck makes the water so crazy? Actually, not much at all, which is why you should ditch your original plans for dinner and make this simple, comforting recipe instead.

A one-skillet meal that's sure to be added to the weeknight rotation.

One way to subvert the usual lettuce narrative is to do something wholly unexpected with it, as in the baked lettuce and onion tart we shared with you yesterday. Another way is to expand the idea of lettuce itself — as in this crisp, bitter chicory salad from the bright minds behind Bar Tartine in San Francisco. Chicories are bitter greens with a more assertive bite than sweet and tender garden greens, but that bitterness means they stand up well to a strong dressing.

Keep this on hand for an easy bread substitute.

I often forget how easy it can be to make fish a weeknight option. For some reason it carries an air of fuss, but when you’re in the kitchen with it, the ease of preparing it almost smacks you in the face. This recipe delivers on ease and flavor, serving up golden-brown fillets of cod with a buttery, briney pan sauce. For the crispiest, golden-brown fish, make sure the fillets (whether you begin with fresh or frozen-then-thawed) are extremely dry.
