Swedish Meatballs with Creamy Dill Sauce
There are many versions of Swedish meatballs, and this is how we like ours. They're juicy, tender, and flavorful in a creamy and rich dill sauce. We enjoy them over mashed potatoes or buttered noodles and served with lingonberry sauce or cranberry sauce.
Chef John's Banana Bread
This banana bread by Chef John is spiked with dark chocolate chips and walnuts. Banana bread is one of those things people rarely make on purpose — only when those last 3 bananas are almost black. However, this scrumptious loaf is so good you'll want to make it well before the bananas reach that condition.
Vietnamese Salad Rolls
These salad rolls are a nice light appetizer. Delicate rice wrappers are filled with noodles, shrimp, carrots, lettuce, and basil. Cooked chicken or beef may be substituted for shrimp.
