Though Scandinavian cuisine has gotten a turn-of-the-century facelift through the Michelin-starred restaurant, Noma, there's really nothing better on a cold, snowy day than a cozy, hearty chowder loaded with potatoes and tender fish. In Nordic countries, where salmon, cod, crab, and potatoes are staples, hearty soups and creamy stews using local ingredients are just as common as meticulously-plated elk medallions and sliced truffles.  Continue Reading

Chicken Marbella

Although this dish is named for Marbella, a stylish resort town just east of Gibraltar on the Spanish Riviera., it was actually first produced in New York City by the Silver Palette Cookbook ladies, Sheila Lukins and Julee Rosso. For the 21st century, the amount of chicken and sugar has been pared way down to give it the spirit of a healthy, Mediterranean style diet. This dish goes well with rice or orzo and a vegetable side such as roasted asparagus or green beans, raisins, and pine nuts.

Baked Chicken Breast with Herbs

This is a herb baked chicken that's both flavourful and super juicy. It is also fairly simple to make. Chicken breasts can’t be beat for a healthy, fast dinner. And there’s many ways you can jazz them up with a variety of spices, herbs, and marinades.

Carrot Cake

A cake that is made from scratch, easy to make, and utterly delicious.

Classic Mixed Greens Salad

Mixed greens are the base for 1001 salads. This one uses Walnuts goat or blue cheese and Honey mustard vinaigrette to make it unique.

You may also decide to just use the walnuts raw, and/or switch the cranberries for pears.

Spring Panzanella

There may be sourdough in this recipe, but with scallions, peas, fresh herbs, and greens tossed in a bright vinaigrette, this totally counts as a salad.

Grilled Chicken Breast - Italian

This simple recipe keeps grilled chicken breast tender and juicy! With a few easy techniques and a garlicky Italian marinade, you can transform plain chicken breast into a tasty and satisfying dinner option that’s perfect for any night of the week.

Red Lettuce Salad with Pepitas and Monterey Jack

This summery Southwestern salad is the perfect accompaniment to a summer spread.

Greek Sheet Pan Chicken

This Greek sheet pan chicken recipe is a quick and easy dinner but so vibrant and flavorful. Chicken thighs, veggies, and big hunks of tangy feta stew in lemony, garlicky ladolemono dressing until everything is tender and golden brown.

Italian Oven Roasted Vegetables

Delicious, roasted to tender perfection, and bold with Italian flavors from fresh garlic, oregano, thyme and extra virgin olive oil!

Blueberry Balsamic Chicken

The sweetness of blueberries and maple syrup blend with the acidity of balsamic vinegar and fragrant rosemary to make a rich sauce for baked chicken. Searing the chicken breasts in the skillet before making the sauce gives it extra flavor.
