Last week, I was debating which dessert to make for dinner at a friend’s, and though I’m smitten with this recipe for Fresh Apple Cake, it just didn’t feel right. I craved something more decadent (like Flourless Chocolate Torte) but not so rich that guests couldn’t finish their entire piece.

Could be served warm with vanilla ice cream (because aren’t all of the best desserts served warm with vanilla ice cream?...

This old fashioned chicken and rice casserole isn’t wild. It won’t blow your mind with never before thought of flavors or tectonic levels of spice....

Casseroles are the best invention for busy people EVER! They are so easy to make and really handy on busy weeknights. Most people eat them as an one-dish meal but, being the good Brazilian that I am, I need some white rice on the side! (I love anything creamy over rice! It’s the perfect combo!)

This rich, thick, and creamy soup with plump rounds of gnocchi, tender chunks of chicken, and a sneaky number of vegetables, is a healthy take on the Olive Garden chicken gnocchi soup that was the pinnacle of my high school dining experience (along with this Broccoli Cheddar Soup that’s reminiscent of Panera’s). When you are 15, does it get much better than soup made with primarily heavy cream and a side of all-you-can-eat breadsticks to go with it?...
