Easy Pesto Crostini: The Perfect Appetizer
Pesto crostini, nothing more than toasted French bread with a generous swipe of pesto, is the fastest appetizer I know — about 9 minutes from loaf to platter. With only two components, quality does all the work: a good baguette and a pesto you would happily eat with a...
Easy Curried Eggplant Dip Recipe

Crispy Oven-Roasted Home Fries (Easy Recipe!)
The easiest, crispiest home fries ever come from waxy potatoes, a hot pan, and the patience not to stir: Yukon Gold or red potatoes, a good soak for extra crispness, and a crust that forms only when you leave it alone. Paprika gives the diner color; diced onions make...
