Beverly Mills leaves Desperation Dinners
Dec 29, 2011 3:18 PM - I don't love change, whether it's tweaking holiday recipes or moving across the country. I'm now in urban Washington, D.C., in a condo with my husband and the dog. My kids are flying solo, and desperation dinners at my house aren't nearly so desperate anymore. So change is here, and I'm forging ahead. Today marks my final "Desperation Dinners" column, and I'm so thankful for you, our readers, for allowing me to share recipes and stories over the years. -
Easy, and elegant, Christmas dinner
Dec 21, 2011 11:05 AM - This year I'm serving pasta for Christmas dinner. Oh, I know Christmas dinner is a meal that deserves something extraordinary. But I'm so tired from unpacking boxes and dealing with issues in my new space that the idea of standing in the kitchen for hours putting together the perfect "Martha Stewart Dinner for 20" makes me want to crawl in one of those boxes and hide. So I'm skipping the expense and time of the huge roast (and all the trimmings), and I'm boiling some noodles. -

Even though my girls aren't around to eat dinner with me every night, it's still really nice to hear, "Mom, that beef stew was amazing!" even in a text message. -
Cooking in advance makes dinner easy
Dec 8, 2011 6:00 AM - Cooking ahead can seem like a daunting task. Cooking one meal is sometimes overwhelming: How do you cook several at the same time? What if I told you that with only a 15-minute investment, you could have dinner simmering for tonight and possibly several more meals down the road? Batch cooking the protein speeds dinner to the table faster than you can call for takeout, and it's so much healthier. Today's Italian Stewed Beef is a slow-cooked wonder that can simmer on your countertop all day. -
The gift of granola
Dec 1, 2011 3:20 PM - Now that Thanksgiving is over and we are heading into the biggest gift-giving season of the year, I want to share a treat that is as wonderful to distribute as it is to keep and enjoy at home. My Maple-Pecan Granola is an inexpensive treat to bake, package and give to anyone on your list. And you'll definitely want to make a couple extra batches for houseguests. -

Whether you've been cooking for a week or you haven't quite decided what to serve, chances are, for a regular evening's meal, you want something besides the traditional Thanksgiving fare. So today's hearty bean stew with the spicy flavors of hot Italian sausage and piquant fennel is simple to make, yet immensely complex in flavor. And it takes only 30 minutes to stir together -
Be thankful for pumpkin bread
Nov 16, 2011 11:08 AM - Today's recipe is a beautiful example of what it truly means to be thankful. Each Thanksgiving for the past 17 years, my friend Pauline Byron has shown up on my doorstep with a freshly baked loaf of her spicy Pumpkin Bread and a handwritten note telling me how much she loves and treasures our friendship. Today, I share the recipe with you. -

Oct 26, 2011 1:19 PM - I thought I knew what a good ham-and-cheese sandwich was all about until I tasted my first croque monsieur.
