Simple recipe for when it's hard to chew.  For Jen.

When I was but a callow youth, my mother used to make the most delightful Swedish meatballs.  I will now share our family recipe, and an alternate recipe that you might find tasty.

This is the traditional Woltman Turkey Stuffing. It is simple but also very good and probably better than whatever you grew up with.

This is a codification of my family's prime rib recipe. It has been refined over the years and produces great results. This recipe is very expensive, but don't let that intimidate you, because it is also very simple.

This is a recipe for my favorite chocolate cake.  It comes, mostly unaltered, from the treasure trove of culinary art that is Ann Brooks.  If you dislike this cake, you are objectively a bad person.

This is a recipe for good, some might even say great, fruit-and-cream-cheese-topped sugar cookies.

This recipe is based entirely on the Serious Eats version, but I edited it down for reasons I hope are self-evident.

The crab soup that my mom has made for as long as I've known her (i.e., all my life).

Ah, French Boursin cheese, just the way your Irish-Polish mother makes it.
