Chicken Noodle Soup

Yield: 4 servings Total time: 4 hours 30 minutes

A great soup has to have a great broth, and this one is delicious. The original recipe called for making the stock from roasted chicken wings, but drumsticks were much cheaper and yielded so much meat that we didn’t have to cook meat separately for the soup.

Roasted Fennel & White Bean Dip

Yield: 12 appetizer servings Total time: 1 hour 30 minutes

I was drawn to this bean-based dip thinking it would be healthy, but realized how decadent it was after liberally brushing the crostini in butter and blending the copious amounts of olive oil and grated cheese into the dip. I’ll try to lighted it the next time I make it, but for now just consider it a luxury.

Tiramisu

Yield: 6 servings Total time: 5 hours

Guy’s birthday was dampened this year not only by the global pandemic but by a historic week-long winter storm that many Texans weathered without heat, electricity, water, and groceries. We were lucky to have power and food, but had to boil all of our water and deal with a back injury. Once on our feet again a week later, we celebrated his birthday with an old friend and barbecue on the patio, alongside this tiramisu. It was so good even our dog Oscar stole a bite or two.

Red Wine Pinto Beans With Bacon

Yield: 4 to 5 servings Total time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Dried beans are budget- and pantry-friendly, and we probably all have stashed more of them this year than usual. This dish based on onions, celery, carrots, rosemary, and red wine, amazingly reminds us a lot of our favorite beef stew. Though it does contain bacon, it’s still more plant-foward and planet-friendly, making it a great alternative when you need a bowl of comfort food on a cold evening.

Cheddar Scones

Yield: 6 scones Total time: 45 minutes

Compared to the effort of rolling out and cutting biscuits, these scones are a cinch. Once the dough is mixed, you just shape it into a circle and cut it into wedges. The buttermilk makes the scones tender, and the cheddar cheese and crab seasoning makes them delicious.
