Food & Drinks
Katie, The Egg Connoisseur’s, Pick: Shakshuka with Feta
Shakshuka may be at the apex of eggs-for-dinner recipes, though in Israel it is breakfast food, a bright, spicy start to the day with a pile of pita or challah served on the side. (It also makes excellent brunch or lunch food.) It’s a one-skillet recipe of eggs baked in a tomato-red pepper sauce spiced with cumin, paprika and cayenne.
Annie, Resident Cocktail Maker’s, Pick: Maple Ginger Hot Toddy
How cute is this hot toddy?! Perfect for cold nights, it’s cozy, warming, and bright, made with whiskey, lemon juice, ginger tea, and maple syrup. Mix one together, put on some smooth music, light a candle - you have the perfect recipe for a cozy night in!
Kelly, Global Palette Queen’s, Pick: Pork Chops with Cranberry-Maple Pan Sauce
You can make these tasty pork chops in just about 30 minutes. Serve them with some rice pilaf and a salad, and you'll have a pretty fabulous and easy meal. The sauce is a combination of fresh or frozen cranberries, pure maple syrup, and chicken broth, and brightened with some apple cider vinegar and Dijon mustard.
