This is one of my hands-down favorite easy dinners, and can also be transformed into an easy appetizer by topping crostini (and if you're feeling decadent, drizzling with truffle oil). Watch my video down below to see how easy these are to make.
I've been wanting to do a kale salad for a long time, and this is the one I wanted to make. Rubbing breaks down the cells and softens the kale, yet leaves all of its meaty taste.
Katie Chin's pumpkin soup recipe from "Everyday Thai Cooking" is comforting, velvety and zippy. Even better, it's simple and uses easy-to-find ingredients.
Chef Louis Maldonado of Spoonbar here in Healdsburg, and most recently of Top Chef fame, turned me on to rice porridge. I conjured this one up recently and gave it a creamy spin with the addition of coconut milk.
This coleslaw is super simple, crazy versatile, and so good I could eat the whole bowl by itself. Serve it on our Spicy Fish Tacos, as a side with poultry or as a kick-ass sandwich condiment.
