The beauty of this recipe is that you can use whatever fillings you want and it will work well. Just have them prepped in advance, toss onto the sheet pan and pour the eggs over.
We love this very easy and super tasty meatloaf recipe. The only prep-work involved in this meatloaf recipe is the chopping of some onions and thyme. Otherwise, all it really involves is a little bit of sauteeing, some measuring, and some mixing. The result is a delicious meal the whole family will love.
These latkes are like potato drugs. As soon as the frying begins, the whole house circles the frying pan literally fighting over each crispy, crunchy latke as it's pulled from the oil. My dad Jeff does his best to fend off the swarming hordes, but the crowd always wins in the end. Make these once, and everyone will beg for them again.
We’ve all been lamenting the summer’s end. And though we’re looking forward to the fall, and all that the autumnal harvest has to offer (have we mentioned that it’s apple season ??), we’re still grasping onto the last of the summer fruit, which will be gone all too soon - within the next few weeks. We thought that plum season was already over, but Mr. Wickham told us we’ll have one more week to enjoy his farm’s excellent red plums, and we couldn’t be happier to hold on to summer just a little bit longer! Once you taste this cake, you will understand why the recipe has been so popular over the years. It is extremely simple to make, and it contains – besides the plums – a handful of very common pantry staples: flour, butter, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, lemon juice, and eggs. But don’t let the simplicity of the ingredients fool you. Once you add the plums to the top of the batter and the cake bakes up around them, the plums soften and their juices seep into the surrounding cake. It’s a delicious cake, made even more delicious as the cake sits overnight and the plum juices further penetrate it. Note: I didn’t have my springform pan on hand when I made this, but I wish I did. If you don’t have one, the cake will still bake up beautifully, but you may need to sacrifice the first slice in order to get the remaining slices out of the pan in one piece. Enjoy!

During the summer, when blueberries are at their peak, we love the idea of showcasing their sweetness in a pie. But who wants to spend the time rolling out pie dough when you can be at the beach or in the pool? Not us! That's why we love these mini blueberry pies. Not only are they super delicious, but they come together so easily because there is no need to roll out the dough. Just divide it into the cups of the mini-muffin pan and pinch it into place with your fingers. Mix together the filling ingredients, fill the crusts, throw the pan in the oven, and within 30 minutes, you'll have perfect, scrumptious mini blueberry pies. Feel free to substitute other berries in here as you wish - any berry will do!
The fritters are just fine on their own, sprinkled with a bit of coarse salt, but they are the perfect vehicle for the beet yogurt dip that goes alongside. The dip is strikingly beautiful – a seemingly unnatural fuchsia-like color thanks to the combination of roasted red beets and plain yogurt - and it is strikingly delicious, thanks to the addition of a few other bold and tasty ingredients. You can find the beet yogurt dip recipe here .

Light and fluffy, these pancakes are worth getting out of bed for! Feel free to use whatever berries you prefer. And in the event that it is not berry season, feel free to use frozen - just be sure to thaw them in advance.
We love leftovers! For those of us who don’t have the time to cook every day, what could be better than cooking something once and eating it twice? We have no problem with just reheating our food and repeating the same meal two nights in a row, which is what we most often do with our leftovers. But sometimes we like to transform leftovers into something completely different, even if it involves just a little bit more effort. And that’s what we did this morning with our leftover turkey London broil, which we shredded up and added to some sautéed potatoes and onions for a scrumptious turkey hash.
