French toast is one of those comfort foods that’s always hard to pass up, but when it’s made with Challah or buttery brioche, resistance becomes utterly futile.

Packed with immune-boosting vitamin C and loaded with vibrant flavors, this citrus lassi is incredibly refreshing. It’s also lighter than most lassis (or smoothies) – a perfect treat for breakfast, or something to enjoy anytime you might need a pick-me up.

The inspiration for this recipe arose a few years ago, when my mother-in-law gave me a huge bag of freshly picked pecans. I was absolutely delighted of course, but wondered what I would end up making with all these pecans.

Some of my best recipes are born out of necessity. Today’s recipe is a perfect example.
A few weeks ago, on an unnaturally warm late-winter day, I decided to poke around my vegetable garden. I hadn’t done so since last December when temperatures had started to dip into the deep-freeze zone.
To my astonishment, I noticed that the carrots I’d never had time to harvest before the ground froze were growing new tops! I gingerly pulled on one and a huge carrot came out of the ground. I pulled on another and the same thing happened. This was nothing short of a miracle. My Danvers carrots had survived an entire winter, and were still growing!
I harvested over 5 pounds of carrots that day and they turned out to be incredibly sweet, snappy – and juicy, even.
As I looked through my repertoire of recipes, none seemed to do justice to these beauties. I wanted to make a dish that brought out their deliciousness to the max. Braising them, I thought, would do just that.

There are few things as comforting as the smell of baking apples… except perhaps digging your spoon into a warm apple dessert.
Here’s a crisp that will fill your kitchen with those irresistible baked-apple aromas for sure. But once you’ve taken the first bite, your taste buds will be smitten not just by the delicious warm-apple flavors, but by the zestful orange and the zingy tequila too.
