It’s a truly effortless dish, where your slow cooker does all the work. And as is usually the case with slow-cooked meats, leftovers are absolutely wonderful. I’ve been making this slow-cooker recipe often this winter. It is rich, tasty and comforting, and it’s truly easy - a classic hands-off recipe. I think it’s even better than a pot roast. Which says a lot, because I LOVE pot roast. But this meat comes out even more tender and flavorful....

Ready in about 30 minutes, this is a great breakfast to make on weekends. And as long as the eggs are fully cooked, you can keep the leftovers too. I don’t know about you, but I LOVE stuffing eggs inside various foods, then baking them. These egg dishes are typically very easy to make, but they look quite impressive. These tomatoes are wonderful for brunch. They are so delicious, and they also look very pretty....

I make it with nuts, raisins, honey, and just a little wine. I simply add the ingredients to the food processor and let it do all the work! I don’t consider Passover as a particularly tasty holiday. Hanukkah is much better (hello, latkes!). Matzo is not very good (except when made into matzo brei), and the traditional Seder meal, while certainly tasty, is not exactly exciting, culinarily speaking. However, charoset is a delicacy....

This easy recipe is ready in just 15 minutes. I like to use frozen spinach because I always have it on hand. I go to steakhouses often. I tend to focus on the steak (ribeye is my favorite) and ignore the tempting starches on the menu. But I do like to share a side of veggies with my husband. We almost always opt for spinach or sautéed mushrooms. I’m always amazed when I order creamed spinach at a restaurant....

I like to serve it sliced over mashed cauliflower. The leftovers are great, and you can enjoy them reheated or even cold. If you like rich, fatty cuts of meat, you are going to love this pork jowl recipe. Once braised and then browned, it’s a wonderfully melt-in-your-mouth treat. Just remember that its richness and fattiness mean that it should be enjoyed sparingly. Serve about two strips per person - it’s more than enough!...

It’s not as heavy and dense as cream cheese-based cheesecake, so it provides a completely different eating experience. This cake is amazing. It’s wonderfully light, and it has a pleasant vanilla flavor. Plus, it’s such an easy recipe! You simply mix all the ingredients in one bowl, pour them into the baking dish, and bake. Cheesecake is by far one of my favorite desserts. I don’t think I ever tasted a cheesecake that I didn’t like, although admittedly some are better than others....

Leftovers keep well in the fridge for a few days, so sometimes I make a double batch. A microwave is a wonderful tool. Granted, it can’t roast and crisp up food. But when it comes to reheating, boiling, and steaming, it’s super convenient. I love cooking veggies in the microwave. You simply cut them into pieces, add a bit of water, cover, and cook for a few minutes. This method works with broccoli, and it works with cauliflower too....

Yes, it will take a little longer to cook them than if you were using high heat, but the fluffy result is well worth it. I love eggs. I love them in every possible way - hard-boiled, soft-boiled, or fried. And I enjoy them in various omelets such as this hearty chorizo omelet. Eggs are my favorite weekday breakfast (on weekends I allow myself treats such as pancakes and cakes)....

It’s so easy and quick to make that I usually cook a serving at a time, but you can double the recipe if you wish. Leftovers are great too! Matzo is not the most exciting food. The only way to make it more palatable is by spreading it with generous amounts of butter, charoset, or chocolate hazelnut spread. That’s why matzo brei is so genius. It’s actually the same idea as bread pudding - using eggs, milk, cinnamon and butter to turn dry uninspiring bread into something delicious, comforting, even - dare I say it?...

Baking them at a high temperature ensures crispy skin and juicy meat. And with this method, this recipe takes just a little over one hour to be ready. Not everyone wants or needs to roast a whole turkey for Thanksgiving. Perhaps you plan on a small Thanksgiving gathering. Or maybe your family members have a strong preference for either white or dark meat. Either way, roasting just a couple of turkey breasts, or a few turkey legs, has some clear advantages, such as a shorter roasting time and a better-tasting bird....

Since they have a fairly mild flavor compared to other organs, they are a good choice for those who venture into eating offal for the first time. People tell me that eating organ meats is “an acquired taste” and “a cultural thing.” As someone who was raised in Israel and enjoyed the cooking of two wonderful grandmothers - one of them an Israeli of Eastern European descent and the other Dutch - I was served offal from an early age, and I really liked it - as long as it was not overcooked....

Leftovers keep well for several days and actually taste better the next day, after the flavors have had a chance to meld together. If you like rich and aromatic beef dishes, you will love this recipe. And the fact that you can make it right in your slow cooker - pretty much “set it and forget it” - is a huge bonus. I love most slow-cooked meats, such as this pot roast....

This ultra-quick recipe is ready in just 20 minutes, making it ideal for a weeknight dinner. This recipe was a happy accident. It all started when I wanted to use up not just the salmon I had in the fridge, but also scallions. “Ha! I can turn it into an Asian-style dish!” I thought. But all the recipes I found said I should marinate the fish for at least 2 hours, then bake it in the marinade, basting occasionally....

You simply microwave it on high until it’s tender-crisp. Depending on how thick the spears are, this should take around 3 minutes. Asparagus is probably one of those vegetables that one either really likes or really doesn’t. I happen to love it! I even like it in its canned form. But when fresh and in season, it’s a true delicacy. Cooking asparagus in the microwave is so easy, that I often default to this cooking method....

The secret to perfection is to use lots of butter and cook them slowly and patiently. These mushrooms are amazing. They are so delicious! It’s difficult to believe that such depth and complexity of flavor can be achieved with minimal seasonings. But the mushrooms themselves are very flavorful, and cooking them in butter (or extra-virgin olive oil) brings out their rich flavor. Another big advantage of this recipe: it’s ready in less than 30 minutes, and the leftovers are really good!...

Serve it in soup bowls, or atop rice, cauliflower rice, or spaghetti squash noodles. This hearty stew is so tasty and comforting! Leftovers are great too, so sometimes I double the recipe to ensure I have yummy leftovers for the next few days. I love stews. They are such classic comfort food. But many of them require quite a bit of work, and I’m not a very patient person. This pork stew is not just delicious, but also very easy to make....

Add some cheese, eggs, and bacon, and you’ve got yourself the perfect keto breakfast! I’ve wanted to make this pizza for a while now. But as long as my go-to keto pizza crust was made with cauliflower, it just didn’t seem like it would work. Cauliflower pizza crust is very tasty, but it’s not very sturdy, so I didn’t think it would hold the eggs too well. Then I discovered this amazing coconut flour pizza crust....

This delicious recipe contains no sugar or breadcrumbs! You can make it ahead of time, refrigerate or freeze, and reheat as many as you need each morning. As much as I enjoy pancakes for breakfast, I often gravitate towards savory breakfasts rather than sweet ones. I find them more substantial, more satiating. When it comes to a filling savory breakfast, meat and eggs are a classic combination, whether bacon, steak & eggs, or these tasty patties....

They make a wonderful snack, so whenever I cook a whole pumpkin, I make sure to save the seeds. My kids get so excited every year when carving their Jack-O-Lanterns. They make sure to save as many of the seeds as they possibly can. Then we clean them up and roast them. Roasted pumpkin seeds are so good (and so are these spicy roasted nuts, by the way)! It’s not just the kids who like them - I enjoy them too....

Serve them as a party appetizer, make them for game day, or simply enjoy them as a daily snack - they are very easy to make and ready in about 20 minutes. I love dinner parties. I love going to them and I love hosting them. It’s always fun to start the evening with cocktails and a few party snacks. But what to serve that’s gluten-free and low-carb? Deviled eggs are always nice....
