Gluten Free
Chocolate-Almond Butter Cups
Here, almond butter serves as the primary ingredient in a perfect little bite-size dessert.
GF Almond Butter and Banana Pancakes
Pancakes made with bananas and almond butter? Enough said. Four eggs may seem like a lot, but they’re what give these sweet, nutty pancakes a light, crepe-like texture.
Arugula and Persimmon Salad with Pistachio Vinaigrette
For this gorgeous salad, choose persimmons that are super soft. The riper the fruit, the sweeter the flavor.
Gluten-Free Eggplant Parm
For this gluten-free version of eggplant Parm, rounds of eggplant are sliced and breaded in a mixture of ground almonds and Parmesan cheese, then baked before being layered with cheese and sauce.
Pear and Pickled Radish
Radishes, contrastingly crunchy and peppery to tender and sweet pears, take rather well to modern pickling, the sort that is less about preserving and more about making something to shake other flavors from their shyness.
Root Vegetable Hash
Any root veg you have on hand will work for this easy dinner. Serve with eggs, fish, chicken, burgers, salads, or use it as a taco or quesadilla filling.
Apples, Potatoes, and Bacon
This dinner is a fry-up, of sorts. The smell of apples and smoked bacon frying on a damp day brings everyone into the kitchen, plate in hand.
A Salad of Brussels Sprouts, Clementines, and Russet Apple
I know a salad of Brussels sprouts sounds mirthless, but I urge you to give it a chance. It has enough citrus, almonds and rough-skinned apple to be interesting.
Coconut-Fig Energy Balls
Made of dried figs blended with coconut and a pop of cinnamon, pack these energy balls along for a post-workout snack or afternoon pick-me-up.
Beet and Carrot Salad
You can make this raw, root vegetable slaw up to four days before you plan to eat it.
Slow-Cooker Chipotle-Orange Pork Tacos
Serve this warmly spiced, slow-cooked pork in its entirety for a crowd, or treat it as a "nextover" and turn the extra servings into a brand-new dinner later in the week.
Salted Chocolate Halva
Salt and bittersweet chocolate lend a savory, sophisticated edge to this typically saccharine-sweet dessert.
Pineapple-Glazed Ham
We spiked the glaze for our retro-chic ham with hot sauce and apple cider vinegar to cut through the cloying sweetness of the original.
Chicory, Bacon, and Poached Egg Salad
Crisping mushrooms in bacon fat infused with rosemary gives this salad satisfying texture and rich, comforting flavor, enhanced by a runny poached egg.
Spiced Chickpeas and Greens Frittata
When in doubt, frittata. This version turns greens-and-beans into a complete one-skillet supper.
Steak and Eggs with Saucy Beans
The diner classic gets a boost from a pot of zesty, creamy beans and sweet charred limes
Citrus-and-Dill Gravlax
Many gravlax recipes will instruct you to drain, turn, and babysit the fish while it cures. Not this one: Set it and forget it. Three days later it will be done.
Onion-Dip Potato Chips
These homemade onion-flavored chips just might be more addictive than the store-bought versions.
Lemon-Pepper Salami Bites
Bright citrus and fresh-ground pepper put a festive spin on two party staples: cured meat and Marcona almonds.
Marinated Manchego
The only thing more crowd-pleasing than cheese is marinated cheese. If Manchego isn’t your thing, go for any semi-firm cheese like white cheddar, Gouda, or Monterey Jack.
