Garth Brooks’ Favorite Breakfast Lasagna
Lasagna for breakfast? Well, why the heck not? Trisha Yearwood whips this up for a big breakfast but it makes a darn good dinner, too.
Spaghetti Bolognese
Often the first sauce we think of when we think of pasta–Bolognese is a rich, meaty, tomatoey sauce that is as comforting as it is satiating.
Portuguese Bean Soup
A leisurely way to make a super comforting and filling soup that makes rainy days more bearable. And the leftovers are even better.

Yes, you can make magnificent breakfast sausage at home, and it’s surprisingly easy. Here’s how.
Chocolate Buttermilk Pie
A creamy, custardy pie that everyone who tested it, also ate it for breakfast. Pie is breakfast, people. Chocolate pie is better than dry toast, for sure.
White Bean Stew with Tomatoes and Rosemary
There’s something about a big old pot of beans–comforting, richly flavored, and filling. Tomatoes and rosemary add a little something special.
Tahdig
Flipping out a perfectly golden, crisp, and intact tahdig is one of the greatest kitchen tricks you’ll ever perform. And just wait until you taste it.

Blueberry Custard Pie
A custardy pie, filled with summer’s favorite berry (come on, you know it’s true), and baked into your choice of crust. Sweet, silky perfection.
Apple Rose Tart
Sweet, crispy apples crown this elegant apple rose tart. The apples aren’t baked, so their crisp bite of honey and citrus shine.

An irresistible and tender, sweet and creamy, loaf of fall goodness. A slice of apple cinnamon bread a day, isn’t that what they say?
Dark Chocolate Gelato
Sweet, but not too sweet, and chocolatey (extra chocolatey, actually) gelato is smooth, silky, and rich. This sweet treat is for real chocolate lovers.
Smoked Chicken
Crisp skin. Succulent meat. A pervasive smokiness. And a pronounced yet balanced spice rub. All with very little fuss.
Smoked Mac and Cheese
Not only is this some of the cheesiest mac and cheese we’ve ever had, it’s also made on the grill so it’s perfect for the heat.
Italian-Style Turkey Meatballs
Meatballs are meatballs, right? Not even close. These little babies take ground turkey and make it taste like a healthier, umami-packed heaven.
No-Knead Everything Bagel Bread
Much less work than making bagels but just as delicious when slathered and schmeared with butter or cream cheese—or any soft cheese, really. And it’s perfect for toasting.
Thai Chili Jam
A lovely jar of sweet, funky heat for those of you who love anything with a little extra kick. Add a little (or a lot, you spice fanatics) to anything you fancy.
Smoked Salmon with Bourbon Marinade
Give your smoker something to look forward to—sweet tea and bourbon are a swoon-worthy marinade for a salmon fillet. Leftovers are perfect for bagels and cream cheese.

This meaty chili brings everyone to the table. The complex flavors are thanks to three different types of meat, a good helping of spices, and tequila. That’s right—it’s a party!
Smoked Pork Tenderloin with Maple Chipotle Glaze
A brilliantly flavored pork tenderloin that’s smoked and yet, on the table, in just over an hour. Maple and chipotle glaze take this from easy to sigh-inducingly scrumptious.

Focaccia
Easier to shape than a boule, focaccia is the next bread you may want to master making at home. Just slice it and eat it as-is with its dimpled herb-flecked surface.
