Fresh/6 recipes

I have made a Thanksgiving goose every year for at least 15 years. I have steadily gained on making the perfect bird but I finally found the greatest recipe ever in Cook's Magazine. The divine part of this approach to cooking the goose is that it employs some of the eastern method of drying the skin which is used in Peking Duck. The skin simply drops all its fat and leaves a crispy, dry, delectable skin that folks fight over! No more rubbery, yucky goose skin full of fat!

Beautiful enough for special spring dinners, yet easy enough for weekday suppers, these chicken breasts are bursting with the fresh flavors of simple ingredients. This recipe can also be doubled if you have extra guests.

Traditionally baked during 'Sinterklaas', a feast on 5 December (6 December in Belgium and Germany) on which little children receive gifts from the holy St. Nicholas, the partial inspiration for Santa Claus. In Germany, Pfeffernüsse are traditionally made during the Christmas season.

A Texas-sized overnight breakfast casserole with sausage, ham or bacon. Perfect for any Sunday morning. Make ahead the night before and simply throw it in the oven the next morning.

This recipe for an indoor slow cooked (Crockpot) pulled pork takes inspiration from North Carolina. Instead of ham hocks it uses bacon and liquid smoke.

This recipe is so good that I truly enjoy sharing it with others. I've always like Salisbury steak, but I had to search a long time to find a recipe this tasty. It's handy, too, because it can be prepared ahead, kept in the refrigerator and warmed up later.

Slow cooked beef short ribs that simply fall off the bone in a delicious Chinese style barbecue sauce. Packed with flavor and nearly hands-free preparation using your slow cooker or Crockpot.

A great healthy chinese chicken. The heart-healthy walnuts add a great taste and texture to this low in fat dish.

Classic banana bread combined with plump juicy blueberries. Turns out moist and fluffy with rich banana aroma with big juicy bursts of blueberries (I used fresh berries) when eating. This takes banana bread to the next level.

A rich and delicious version of the classic pasta Carbonara loaded with chicken, ham, peas and sun-dried tomatoes in a creamy sauce.

Chock full of beef and loads of veggies that suck up the flavor of the red wine, herbs and garlic. Make up a large batch on the weekend and freeze in individual portions in zipper bags for up to 3 months.

Juicy bites of sesame chicken that's super quick and easy to make. Serve with rice if desired.

Traditional home-made bread that turns out a crispy tasty crust with a delicate soft interior.

It's not the double-down, but it's as close as you can get! The ultimate crunch and moistest lean pork chops you will ever experience.

My husband and i really enjoyed this recipe. I am not a very good cook, but these instructions were really easy to follow! Try it!

A prize winning best of the best meatloaf. Best meatloaf I've ever had.
