Hodge podge is a favorite vegetable stew from Nova Scotia. It's typically made in the fall with the freshest vegetables possible, just as the gardens are being harvested. This recipe very much lends itself to tinkering by adding different vegetables in varying quantities.

Basic Chocolate Chip Muffins
This simple chocolate chip muffin recipe makes 12 generous muffins, that are soft, tender, and not too sweet. My kids love them — you might want to double the recipe!
Buffalo Cauliflower
This Buffalo cauliflower is a great substitution for Buffalo wings and can be made gluten-free, vegan, or vegetarian. Make sure to coat your cookie sheet well with oil, or the cauliflower will stick. My husband and kids give this two thumbs up! You can dip the cauliflower in ranch or blue cheese for added flavor, but it doesn't need it.
Instant Pot® Clam Chowder
New England-style clam chowder is easy to make and is wonderful on those cold, chilly days. Serve with lots of crusty bread to soak up the last dredges in the bowl. I've chosen not to add any additional salt as the sodium content varies considerably between brands of clams. Taste and add salt at the end, if necessary.
