Sweet carrots and onions, earthy celery and savory garlic are very simple ingredients that give this dish of braised chicken a magical flavor. A big part of the final flavor profile is browning of chicken prior to braising. Caramelized skin not only adds a ton of flavor, but also gives the dish its appealing color. This braised chicken is very simple and rustic yet very flavorful and exceptionally tasty. It’s hard to mess it up and even novice cooks will have a lot of success making it....

I owe my appreciation for classic Southern desserts like buttermilk pie (and Old-Fashioned Sweet Potato Pie) to my grammy, who often made them growing up.

It looks unassuming, but every bite is positively luscious (like the best Lemon Pie, also my grammy’s recipe)....

For a lighter dressing option, try this mayo-free Caesar salad dressing – it’s incredible! Caesar Salad I’m going to call it – Caesar salad is a pain to make, calling for an inordinate amount of pots and pans to be dirtied in the name of just one salad.
