    Recipe: Totally yummy DIY chai!

    One of my resolutions this year has been to spend less on specialty drinks. I bought a new coffee maker with a burr grinder that I love, and I ordered a stash of coffee pods for my old espresso machine. I've also started making my own chai tea.

  11. Veggie Reuben Burger made with pinto beans Renee Comet/USA WEEKEND

    Recipe: Reuben Burger

    There are lots of good reasons for eating bean burgers. Compared with beef patties they're cheaper and heart-healthier, and if you surround the patty with all the familiar fixin's, even serious carnivores won't miss the meat.

  12. Make a tasty treat: Defrosty the Snowman

    This wistful snowman appears to be going the way of winter, and we have a feeling he'll soon disappear altogether. He's from Disney FamilyFun's Inside Wintertime Fun, a book available Target stores this season.

  13. Weeknight Deviled Cornish Hens Renee Comet/USA WEEKEND

    Recipe: Roast dinner in half the time

    Roast chicken sounds simple enough for supper, but the average bird needs a full hour to be done. Most of us just don't have that kind of time during the week. Enter the Rock Cornish game hen, which, when butterflied, is done in just 30 minutes.

  15. Dutch Baby with Cranberry-Orange Syrup. Renee Comet/USA WEEKEND

    Recipe: Sweet or savory Dutch Baby

    Pancakes are awfully nice on a winter holiday morning, but with batch griddling it's hard to for everyone to sit down and enjoy them together. Enter Dutch Baby. It's one big impressively puffy, golden pancake, and you can make them savory or sweet.

  16. Banana Pudding, Trifle-Style Renee Comet/USA WEEKEND

    Recipe: Banana Pudding Trifle Style

    I love banana pudding, but it doesn't feel quite dressy enough as a holiday dessert. Layer it in a pretty bowl, call it trifle and it's right at home at the most festive holiday gathering.

  17. Skewered appetizers are hot this season. Renee Comet/USA WEEKEND

    Recipe: Fun Food on a Stick

    Skewered appetizers are hot this season. In fact, there's an entire book on the subject titled On a Stick! My interpretation here is a little broader.

  18. One Big Linzer Cookie Renee Comet/USA WEEKEND

    Recipe: 1 Big Holiday Cookie, 5 delicious options

  19. Simple Red Wine-Braised Short Ribs Renee Comet/USA WEEKEND

    Recipe: Simple Red Wine-Braised Short Ribs

    Short ribs are hot right now. Apparently the word "wow" has been used to describe them so many times there's a whole Google category called "short ribs wow." I get it. Short ribs are "wow" in every way — their rich flavor, succulent texture, ease in prepa

  24. When given a choice between Creamed Pearl Onions and my Creamy Leek Gratin with Breadcrumbs and Bacon, wouldn’t you opt for the latter? Renee Comet for USA WEEKEND

    Recipe: Paul Kahan’s Creamy Leek Gratin with Breadcrumbs and Bacon

    When given a choice between Creamed Pearl Onions and my Creamy Leek Gratin with Breadcrumbs and Bacon, wouldn’t you opt for the latter? I use just enough cream, cheese, and bacon to make the dish taste good without taking it decadent. And then there’s the light option where I puree some of the leeks with skim milk and Greek yogurt to completely replace the cheese and cream.

  25. Michelle Bernstein: Simply put, I'm a vegetable fanatic. Renee Comet/USA WEEKEND

    Recipe: Michelle's French Bean 'Casserole'

    For the intergenerational holiday crowd I’ve done a little makeover on the beloved green bean casserole. My light, fresh French Bean “Casserole” has all the creaminess and crunch of the classic while intriguing the most finicky eater.

    Recipe: Lior’s Spiced Cranberry Chutney With Apricots and Pecans

    Of all the holiday dishes cranberry sauce is distinctly American. My Cranberry Chutney With Apricots and Pecans is a simple low-cal, low-sugar, intriguingly spiced sauce that celebrates our unity and diversity.

  27. Sweet Potato Bourbon Mash is my answer to the treacly marshmallow-topped Sweet Potato Casserole. Renee Comet for USA WEEKEND

    Recipe: Elizabeth Karmel’s Sweet Potato Bourbon Mash

    Sweet Potato Bourbon Mash is my answer to the treacly marshmallow-topped Sweet Potato Casserole. Double-cooking the potatoes—oven roasting them first and then mashing them right in the pot with highly flavorful ingredients (including a generous snort of bourbon)—results in a creamy, craveable dish you can enjoy at the holiday table… and year round!

    Recipe: Brad Farmerie’s Pumpkin Crème Caramel

    My brothers and I always looked forward to Mom’s fun Thanksgiving pumpkin desserts. (One year she baked pumpkin mousse on top of cheesecake!) Since most of us serve the expected pumpkin pie, dessert can be the low point of the holiday feast. My Pumpkin Crème Caramel is a nod to tradition but it’s light, delicate, whimsical.

  29. A hearty meal that's easy enough for a weeknight. Brian Leatart/USA WEEKEND

    Recipe: Fast, yummy veggie pie

    I am a passionate and serious cook. But in the '90s, when I was food editor of a national magazine, I struggled to get dinner on the table. After a long day at work, I'd open the fridge and stare in despair. Hand me a recipe and I knew what to do.

  30. This biscotti recipe makes plenty for a party or holiday gifts. Brian Leatart/USA WEEKEND

    Recipe: Guilt-free biscotti

    I can't take credit for these cookies. It's my daughter Sharon's recipe, and she's the one who's perfected it. I'm just the beneficiary. This recipe makes plenty for a party or holiday gifts.
