My favorite as a child growing up in cold Minnesota.

Cheesy beef and broccoli wrapped in crispy phyllo pastry. Quite easy, inexpensive and gosh darn yummy.

Chicken and dumpling casserole made with leftover cooked chicken, peas, and basil-flecked biscuit dumplings baked right on top. A weeknight rescue for the rotisserie bird in your fridge.

Large-batch cream of potato soup built from dehydrated potatoes, dry onions, and dry milk powder. A classic institutional cafeteria recipe scaled for crowds with chicken gravy mix for body.

These air-fryer (or oven baked) chicken nuggets are a delightful and tasty twist on traditional chicken nuggets. These bite-sized wonders are coated with a crispy, flavorful layer of Parmesan cheese and other seasonings, giving them an umami boost and delicious taste that sets them asunder from their traditional counterparts.

Moist orange cranberry muffins with dried cranberries plumped overnight in fresh orange juice and zest. A breakfast and holiday brunch muffin with vivid citrus aroma and tender crumb.

This Cajun blackened chicken caesar salad was absolutely delicious. The chicken was super moist and packed with flavor. We used lettuce for the salad, and it was tasty and refreshing, perfectly balanced with chicken. Serve it with a few slices of bread, or some croutons to make a complete meal.

Tuna and olives match beautifully in this cheesy baked savory muffin that's served with a tangy butter sauce.

Herb-roasted turkey breast rubbed with rosemary, sage, thyme, and marjoram under the skin, with onion and garlic tucked into the neck cavity. A simple low-fat holiday main with crisp golden skin.

Spiced gherkin pickles layered with whole cloves and cinnamon, then bathed in a hot apple cider vinegar brine sweetened with sugar and dry mustard. An old Pennsylvania Dutch crock-pickle recipe with a sweet-tart bite.

Pineapple apricot jam made from just 3 ingredients: dried apricots, crushed pineapple, and sugar. No pectin needed. Slow-simmered until thick and spreadable.

Rack of lamb painted with Dijon mustard, soy sauce, garlic, and rosemary, then roasted to rosy medium-rare. A 25-minute, hands-off centerpiece for special-occasion dinners.

Chicken breasts baked in sour cream and white wine with green spring onions and garlic. An easy no fuss dish that perfect for a weeknight meal.

Bell peppers and sausages are cooked in a tasty tomato sauce, then served over a bed of warm penne. An ideal meal for a busy week night.

Pork ragu lasagna layered with a slow-cooked tomato and herb sauce, plenty of grated cheese, and a milk-brushed top that bakes golden. A hearty homemade lasagna built on ground pork instead of beef.

Double oat granola bakes rolled oats, oat bran, and wheat germ with pecans and dried fruit, sweetened with honey and applesauce instead of heavy oil. A crunchy, high-fiber, low-fat breakfast you can make ahead.
