“Old clothes” may not sound that appetizing, but it’s one of those overcooked, funky, juicy, tender dishes you can’t stop eating (at least I can’t). And the only thing even remotely difficult about it is shredding the steaks into the ropy strands that give Ropa Vieja its fanciful name. Still, it’s not you-can-do-it-wrong difficult; it’s just a bit of an upper body workout.
Carne Asada with Homemade Corn Tortillas
Seared, marinated steak with salsa verde makes a heck of a taco.
Macaroon Magic (Including a Vegan Variation!)
The easiest cookies ever get a Holiday glow-up. As with Mark’s Classic Macaroons and Sparkly Coconut Snowballs, only unsweetened shredded coconut works here. Fortunately, it’s commonly available; if all you can find are the ribbons, pulse them a few times in the food processor to get the right texture. Since the ratio is one egg white to one cup coconut and 1/3 cup sugar, the math for making big batches of dough is easy to calculate. Be sure to check out all the variations before deciding what to make first.
Whole Wheat Pasta with Pesto
Pesto, of course, is a sauce you can use on anything, from vegetables to meats and fish.
Pasta with Broccoli and Sausage
This sauce, and its loads of variations, is probably the one I make most often.
Pasta with Tomato Sauce
You will see: There’s no reason to buy pasta sauce in jars.
Pasta with Eggs and Cheese
Think of this as Italian comfort food; add bacon and you get classic carbonara.
Pasta with Garlic and Oil
An absolute classic, destined to be one of your favorites.
Clam Chowder
The real deal from New England, with fresh clams of course.
Caramel Popcorn Bars
As sweet, crunchy, and addictive as caramel corn. Adding marshmallows to the caramel holds it together, making it even easier to eat.
Hot and Sour Soup
Lots of black pepper and rice vinegar give this popular soup its signature kick.
Barley Soup with Hearty Greens
Bites of chewiness combined with bites of silkiness make for perfect texture.
Creamy Potato and Leek Soup
You can use this recipe as a model for just about any creamy vegetable soup.
Corn Chowder with Cheddar
Wonderfully gooey and flavorful, with crunch.
Chicken Stock and Chicken Noodle Soup
Yes, from scratch. Yes, you can do it. Yes, it will be worth the work.
Full-Flavored Vegetable Stock
It’s almost too simple: Just throw everything in a pot and go do something else.
Smoky Red Bean Soup
The smokiness comes from ham hocks. And all you do is get the pot bubbling, then walk away.
Lentil Soup
One of my all-time favorite weekend lunches, ready in less than an hour.
Beans and Greens Soup with Fried Egg
For soup that eats like hearty stew, the greens-and-beans combination always delivers, especially when topped with a fried egg. This is what I call a “universal” recipe—one that works for virtually any bean or green. If you make the beans from scratch, terrific; but with the aromatic vegetables here, canned can be just as flavorful.
Spiced Wintertime Tomato Soup with Hard Boiled Eggs
Here’s the easiest, creamiest homemade tomato soup ever. Each bite brightens the chilliest days—or nights—with a touch of warm spice. And it’s super adaptable: Whole tomatoes you puree yourself deliver rich body and flavor, but crushed or diced are fine in a pinch, and you can skip that step if you want a chunkier soup. You pick the spice, too—curry or chili powder both do the trick. To make this a meal in a bowl, nestle in a hard-boiled egg, done to your liking. And for an even heartier version, add a cup or so of cooked rice just before serving and stir until piping hot.
