Upside Down Green Tomato Corncake
Yes, it's a mouthful in every Way. A new comfort food. A big slice is a small meal in itself. Slightly tart and very sweet at the same time. The cornbread is rich but light. Breakfast, lunch or dinner for $1.
Coconut. Curry. Butternut Squash. Soup.
This is what I want the day after Thanksgiving. It's easy. It's mouth-and-soul-warming. It's got exotic flavors and aromas laced through a sweetly familiar, comfortable squash soup.
Slower Sunday: Bobbing
What a crazy way this is to eat an apple. But, then, what's it like to be the apple? This'll slow you down. Whether you're an apple or a human. Just Press Play.
Pear Gruyere Gratin
This could be your Thanksgiving dessert. Rich but not heavy. Satisfying and seductive, not Spartan. A fill-the-mouth and warm-the-soul fruit and cheese course.

Delicious and beautiful. 50 cents per serving. If a gratin sounds like something you shouldn't try to do at home by yourself, the sound's deceiving. Click. Tasting is believing.
Roasted Garlic & Kale Bread Pudding
For dinner. Shockingly delicious. The roasted garlic is a big part of it. But it's the combination with the dark, herbaceous kale that really surprised me. I don't know why this isn't a national dish somewhere. $3. Serves 6.
Double-Smoked Bacon Bread. Wow.
This is profoundly great bread. Without kneading dough. Really. No kneading. Just 30 seconds of stirring.
