Lazy Coq au Vin

This lazy version of the French classic still takes a long time to cook, though inactive on your part, but preparing it couldn’t be easier; you can do it with one hand tied behind your back (or to a second bottle of Côtes du Rhône)!

Pumpkin-Pecan Cheesecake

During the holidays we have a hard time deciding between pecan pie, pumpkin pie, and cheesecake for dessert. Well, problem solved! This super rich and luxurious pumpkin cheesecake is topped with a dark and decadent pecan pie-like topping that brings these epitomes of holiday desserts together.

Chicken & Dumpling Soup

This is total winter comfort food at its best; light and fluffy dumplings bobbing around in rich broth. With a scattering of feathery dill–fresh, with a sweet-sour lashing–it’s the ultimate perfection. Best yet, you can use leftover holiday turkey bones and meat for it!

No-Bake Cranberry Cheesecake

I don’t usually like no-bake cheesecakes but this works so well! The pectin in the cranberries helps to give this a wonderful texture, and they also give their sweet, sharp and crisp flavors for the ultimate holiday dessert.
