Kale

What recipe can be made-ahead to feed an early breakfast crowd, serve as a great savory main at lunch, and play well as a side dish for a fancy dinner? Savory bread pudding can do it all.

"Hasselback is a Swedish method to slice potatoes halfway through and roasting them to achieve crunchy, chip-like edges with a soft center," writes cookbook author David Frenkiel

You can't beet this kale salad

In this easy meal, a fragrant curry simmers while the rice steam-cooks over top. Garnish with cilantro.

Add a slice of crusty bread and a tossed salad to this soup for a quick, satisfying cold-weather meal.

Eat without guilt or regrets. This rich, comforting pasta is lightened up with a cauliflower “cream.” For a more filling dish, stir in 2 cups small, steamed cauliflower florets before serving.

This is a great party salad because the hearty greens won’t turn limp or mushy once they’re tossed with the dressing.
