Collard Greens with Bacon
This recipe yields good ole country collard greens with bacon and onion. They're so hearty and satisfying that even those who say, "I don't like greens," will eat these up! You might even get a "Wow!" after the first bite and a "Not at all like I remember them tasting." You can eat them alone but they're best with hot buttered cornbread. Mustard and turnip greens are great this way, too. Enjoy!
Chef John's Croissants
I wouldn't describe making homemade croissants as easy since there are multiple steps, and it does take at least half a day. But it's really not that hard either; and certainly simpler than flying to Paris, which is the only other way to enjoy these amazing pastries. This croissant recipe, with a helpful video, was adapted from one by Bruno Albouze, from The Real Deal (which he is).
Grandma's Gnocchi
My grandmother used to make these when I was a little girl. When I was old enough to realize that I needed to get her delicious recipes, she showed me how to make a lot of her wonderful dishes. She never wrote anything down and she rarely used a cookbook. She also didn't measure things the same each time, so sometimes you have to add a little to the recipes.
