Mom's Apple Pie
Mom's homemade apple pie pairs a flaky shortening crust with canned apple filling for a from-scratch taste in half the time. Brushed with milk and dusted with sugar, the top crust bakes up golden and crackly.
Sheet Cake
Chocolate sheet cake (Texas sheet cake) with hot cocoa-buttermilk batter and a poured cocoa-buttermilk icing finished while the cake is still hot. The Southern church-supper crowd-feeder cut into 24 squares.
Basic Rice
Basic Rice: a foolproof 3-ingredient method for fluffy white or brown rice. Classic 2:1 water-to-rice ratio, simmered low and covered. Two-cup yield, ready in 20 to 40 minutes.
Light Whipped Cream Layer Cake
Ethereally light layer cake where whipped cream and beaten egg whites replace butter for cloud-like texture. Vanilla and almond extracts add delicate flavor to this unique dessert.

Fresh strawberry pie with a homemade cornstarch glaze over 4 cups of whole berries in a flaky baked crust. A no-bake filling that sets up glossy and bright in just 20 minutes of hands-on work.
Triple Pear Puree
Triple pear puree: Anjou pears simmered and pureed with vinegar and sugar, then reduced to applesauce consistency. A sweet-tart condiment for pork, cheese, or toast.
Thyme Focaccia
Thyme focaccia made simple with a bread machine: a dimpled, olive-oil-rich flatbread scented with fresh thyme, cracked black pepper and flaky kosher salt. Crisp edges, soft airy middle.

Slow-sauteed broccoli braised gently in peanut oil and garlic with a splash of water. A covered-skillet method that turns broccoli meltingly tender without steaming it bland.

Plain sourdough starter made from just flour and water. No commercial yeast needed. Mix, wait four to five days, and you have a wild-fermented base for bread.

Quick sour cream sauce with dill and cornstarch, ready in one minute of cooking. A simple, creamy topping for fish, chicken, potatoes, or vegetables.
Crumbed Potatoes
Crumbed potatoes tossed in melted butter and bread crumbs after boiling. A simple old-fashioned potato side dish with a toasty, buttery coating. Ready in 30 minutes.
Oatmeal Raisin Drops
Lower-sugar oatmeal raisin drop cookies with rolled oats, cinnamon, brown sugar, and just a quarter cup of margarine. A lighter take on the classic cookie that still delivers chewy oat texture and warm spice.
