Curried Ground Beef with Peas and Potatoes

We used to eat these really delicious meat pies when we were growing up. I’m not sure exactly what was in them, but I do know that the mix had ground beef seasoned with curry powder, tender cubed potatoes, and sweet peas. It was so simple, hearty, filling, and one of my absolute favorite things to eat. But these days I’m a busy person, so when I got the craving for those tasty meat pies I just whipped up the curried ground beef filling and ate it in a bowl instead of fiddling with dough and stuffing it into hand...

Super Orange Citrus Rice

This incredible citrus rice is flooded with orange juice, flecked with celery and carrots, and boosted with a packet of French onion dip mix. It’s beautiful, delicious, and if you’re in a rice or grain rut, it’s just the thing to get you out of it. This Super Orange Citrus Rice is also the perfect base for a rice bowl, and I love using leftovers the next day for a citrusy-y take on fried rice. I cook rice a couple times a week. Half the time I’ll make it straight and simple – water, rice, and a bit of salt....

Stuffed Shells Recipe and How to Stuff Pasta Shells

Before I  tell you how to stuff pasta shells for my stuffed shells recipe, I  need to tell you about my Aunt Rita.  The way the Golden Girls turned to cheesecake, Aunt Rita turned to stuffed shells. She was a modern Italian woman, who prepared food like you might imagine an old nana in Italy. She took her time to get her recipe right and drew on her intuition instead of any recipe. She knew exactly how much ricotta cheese needed to go into each shell and she never rushed the dish. Many friends were recipients of a dish of...

This Polenta Peach Cake Is the Perfect End-of-Summer Dessert

Christine: Theres something both necessary and wonderful about a recipe you can knock together with a few pantry items and whatever is slowly going soft in your fruit bowl. I recommend peaches for this recipe, but you would do just as well to rescue some sad-looking apples, pears or plums. Because this cake has a high fruit-to-cake ratio, it makes two (!) cakes, so you can give one to your neighbour and really make it look like you have your life together, or you can wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze it.(Related:This Roasted Cauliflower Recipe Is a Showstopper)...
