Move over, mashed potatoes: There’s a new side dish worthy of a spot on your holiday table. Duchess potatoes are everything you love about mashed potatoes, piped into picture-perfect mounds and baked until crisp. Did I mention they’re filled with cheese and bathed in melted butter? Here’s how to make ’em.

What are duchess potatoes?

It has been quite the year. And now we are faced with a pandemic Thanksgiving. That means many of us will be dining alone or with a significant other or maybe a family of four. That’s why this year I am cooking a bone-in turkey breast. It’s juicier than a boneless breast, I like the way it looks, and it’s Seriously Simple to prepare.

A bone-in turkey breast makes a festive presentation on a platter in the absence of a full turkey. This turkey breast will easily feed six people. And any leftovers will make great salads or sandwiches. Don’t forget to reserve all the bones to make a stock to use in a future soup.

Growing up, nothing was more comforting than a bowl of chicken noodle soup. It's a recipe that comes with a wave of nostalgia that can cure any bad day or cold. Sure, you can buy the dish canned from any grocery store, but if you have the time nothing compares to making it from scratch.

We are a household that loves sandwiches! So, when I made these saucy barbecue sandwiches, they were an instant hit. Especially when you have the contrast of a soft white bun, tangy barbecue jackfruit and crunchy creamy coleslaw, what’s not to love!

Jackfruit in a can is becoming easier to find; look for it in the international aisle or at an Asian supermarket. Sometimes you’ll find it in the canned fruit section; just be sure to grab young green jackfruit in water, not in syrup or a brine.

Piled high in giant cardboard boxes at grocery stores or stacked beside the peppers and potatoes at the farmers market, these thick-skinned, bright-orange winter squashes are ripe for the picking, in several shapes and sizes.

So many will never make it onto a dinner table. For that, you have Halloween to blame. According to the National Retail Association, nearly half of all Americans — some 152 million — were to chisel pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns. All told, Americans were expected to spend a whopping $687 million on carving pumpkins in 2020, or about $100 million more than last year.
