Video: Herbed Drop Biscuits
These tender, fluffy biscuits are packed with the flavor of fresh herbs, and they just happen to be vegan! Perfect for the holidays or any quick weeknight dinner, you’ll make these over and over again.
Apple Sage Dressing
Use this recipe as a stuffing for your turkey or a dressing you can bake separately. Additions like browned sausage, smoked ham, or pecans are natural variations for a hearty option.
Cute and Easy Christmas Toppers
Though some may favor a minimalist holiday, we like to believe the more the merrier when it comes to festive decor and Christmas spirit! Bring on the sprinkles!

Chestnut, Bean, and Milk Soup (Zuppa di castagne, fagioli, e latte)
This soup comes from the interior of Italy, in the Campania region. It is the perfect treat for a cold winter night, served with a few slices of grilled bread. If fresh porcini are not available, try other mushrooms or substitute a few ounces of dried porcini for fresh ones.
Green Shakshuka with Green Chiles
If your garden is bursting with fragrant herbs and any variety of green chile, this recipe is for you. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, a crusty loaf of bread or soft flatbread makes this a flavor-packed meal for any day of the week.
How to Prepare Laminated Doughs
Laminated dough is dough with layers of butter folded in before using. It is what makes flaky layers in puff pastry and pastries like croissants. It takes some practice, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy to prepare and fun to use!

4 Easy Changes for Your Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie
There is no universally perfect chocolate chip cookie, but we all know what cookie is perfect for us. And whether you like it chewy, crispy, cakey, or maybe a little salty, finding the right mix can take a lot of trial and error.
Blended Veggie and Turkey Meatloaf
This may have more steps than your typical meatloaf, but it's worth it! Plus, you can cook the entire vegetable portion of this recipe a few days ahead of time (or weeks--freeze it!). We tried baking the meatloaf in a traditional loaf pan, but we got a quicker cooking time and better texture in the square baking dish (more surface area means quicker evaporation of moisture from those extra veggies).
Building a Cheese Plate
Building a great cheese plate requires a basic familiarity with the profiles of the cheeses offered and their capacity to be other food and drink. If you're just getting started, this guide will come in handy.
