An almost-entirely from-the-pantry dinner this week, and isn't that just the best?

A humble stew for the holiday season that will be loved by your children and, especially, by you.

When it comes to Holiday Survival Recipes, we knew we could count on Tom for our No-Fail Potato Side.

Put time into dinner now, and you can make it last forever -- or at least the whole week. Welcome to Halfway to Dinner, where we show you how to stretch your staples every which way.

We're feeling a bit French today, and we thought you might be too. What'll be on our tables tonight? We're getting our vegetables in (and greens too, please) with Amy_N-B's perfectly Parisian, earthy French "Peasant" Beets. Eaten with a glass of Sancerre on the side, we could easily stop there, but tonight, we're skipping happily along to dessert. Because our night wouldn't be truly French without a little sliver of something sweet, now would it? 

Thanksgiving is over -- just you, at home, back to normal. Celebrate.

Nicholas gives us a noble use for leftover sweet potatoes, a kid-friendly baking project, and a better turkey sandwich.

This week, a Merrill-ific dinner, because who doesn't love that?
