It was about 10 p.m. on Mother’s Day and I was a mess. On paper, it had been the most thoughtful and perfect Mother’s Day I could imagine. Yet there I was, settling in for a restless night on the couch. (When I commit to shutting down and hiding, I really go for it.) It dawned on me, after a shame- and disgust-filled crying jag: ...

Golden Raisin Coleslaw

  My absolute favorite recipes are the ones where I don’t have to do anything aside from get the ingredients together, and that includes only having to clean the one dish they were combined in. During winter, that means a lot of soups in the Instant Pot and pot roasts in the oven. And when the weather warms up, there’s nothing more refreshing than a ...

Hot and Sour Soup

  This mildly spicy Hot and Sour Soup makes a wonderful side dish to any Asian or Asian-inspired entree, but can also become a main dish itself with the addition of half a pound of cooked, shredded chicken during the arrowroot step. (But if you do turn it into an entree, the recipe will serve two rather than four.) The heat comes from just a ...
