Come Party With Me: Winter Weekend — Menu
It's my best friend's birthday this weekend, and to celebrate, a group of 12 friends are headed to my parents' cabin in the Sierra Nevada mountains. We'll enjoy lots of delicious foods and decadent desserts. To kick things off on Friday night, we'll make a huge pot of Italian chicken chili with pancetta crouton toppers.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Shrimp and Ginger Stir-Fry
As much as I love talking and thinking about Thanksgiving, sometimes it's nice to take a quick break from the all-American feast and enjoy a simple Asian-inspired meal.
In this recipe, shrimp is combined with a gingery soy sauce, chunks of red pepper, and slivers of green onions. Served on a bed of rice, it makes for a light and flavorful alternative to the season's plethora of comfort foods.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Chicken Pumpkin Stew
Celebrate the flavors of Fall by making this quick-cooking stew. Seared chicken is simmered with broth, chunks of pumpkin, red peppers, and green beans. The thick sauce is seasoned with paprika and creamy peanut butter, resulting in a stew that is satisfyingly scrumptious.
Say Cheese! Pimento Cheese
I am not from the South, so before this week, I had never tasted the comforting spread native to the region that's known as pimento cheese. However, I was eager to experience this seemingly exotic food, so I decided to make it. Pimento cheese isn't a type of cheese, but rather, a seasoned cheese mixture.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Scallops With Sage and Corn
While I'm a huge fan of corn on the cob, lately I haven't been able to get enough corn salad. If you've never carefully cut the kernels off a fresh corn cob, I suggest you do so tonight. With its succulent scallops, crunchy bell peppers, and sweet corn, this is one satisfying salad.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Portobello and Red-Pepper Pizza
Why head to the local pizza parlor when you can whip up gourmet pies in the comfort of your own kitchen? With the help of store-bought dough, pizza making is a cinch. This recipe tops the dough with portobello mushrooms, red peppers, garlic, and two types of cheese.
Say Cheese! Fresh Mozzarella, Italian Sausage Calzones
Mozzarella is a widely known, mild Italian cheese that's made from a pulling, stretching, and cutting technique. At one time, all mozzarella was made from water buffalo milk, but now it's commonly made with cow's milk. Fresh mozzarella is packaged in water or whey and has a soft texture and delicate flavor.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Spicy Tofu With Red Bell Peppers
Calling all vegetarians who love spicy food: this recipe is for you. It combines Asian flavors like fresh ginger and soy sauce with crunchy vegetables and sautéed tofu. Red pepper flakes provide heat while lime juice adds tartness.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Chicken and Pasta in Peanut Sauce
FabSugar just got back from an amazing trip to Thailand, but now she's feeling a little blue about returning to her daily routine. To ease the culture shock, I suggested she make this simple, Thai-inspired dish for dinner. Seared chicken is tossed with pasta, broccolini, red peppers, and a store-bought peanut sauce.
Red Pepper Cheese Crostini Is Easy, Fast, and Delicious App
I'm not from the South, but I have always considered pimento cheese to be an oddly glamorous appetizer. The ingredients are simple, but the flavor combination sublime. When I saw sausage master Bruce Aidells's sophisticated makeover of this Southern classic in the December issue of Bon Appétit magazine, I knew I had to make it.
