We're all about making the best of a hard situation and looking for the bright side of things. We hope you enjoy one of these cozy recipes with people you love.

Avgolemono, a lemony Greek chicken pasta soup is healthy and hearty (lots of satisfying protein), creamy (no cream!) and so delicious!
A rich, brothy chili-tomato stew with tender pork shoulder, hominy corn, and roasted red peppers, this Braised Pork Shoulder Pozole, served with an assortment of garnishes, is always a huge hit!

Kladdkaka (aka Swedish Sticky Chocolate Cake) is one of Sweden’s most beloved (and easy) desserts and every chocolate lover’s dream come true! This version is also a one-bowl, no-mixer recipe that comes together quickly with pantry staples!
Thought for the day:
Then I heard every creature in heaven
and on earth and under the earth and on the sea,
and all that is in them, saying:
“To him who sits on the throne
and to the Lamb be praise and honor
and glory and power, forever and ever!
Revelations 5:13

Hello Chris
I love this idea!!!! As I have purchased several cookbooks for Indian, Chinese, and Moosewood Lodge cuisine as well as your blog for adventure in the kitchen. I love all your international recipes they are delicious. I made the naan bread this past Sunday as we took a culinary adventure there and I could not believe how dimple and delicious it was to prepare and make.
Thank you
Danielle

My husband and I fell in love with farro when we were first introduced to it while on vacation in Tuscany. Since that time I have managed to find a few (very few) recipes that call for it and I was wondering if you had any inspirational ideas for this lovely ancient grain.
Thank you in advance.
