In this rustic French farm dish, chicken and earthy vegetables are slowly braised in herb-infused red wine. The slow cook not only makes this dish full of rich flavor, but lends itself to a great make-ahead dish. Even though it requires a long cook time, you can make this dish several days ahead and it will only taste better because of it.

Trying to find the “World’s Best Chili Recipe” is a daunting task. One that, I am afraid, even I am not up for. Chilies considered as “the best” seem to involve smokers, chili spices from three different states, and wearing a hat. This chili has the best of worlds without being overwhelming: three different kinds of meat, kidney beans, and a solid blend of spices.

Andrew Zimmern is a Minnesota treasure, and we have to put at least one of his delicious recipes on our menu. This super easy dinner is full of protein and warm, cozy flavors. Butter-steamed shrimp cooks with a white-wine sauce of watercress and parsley, and is served with crusty bread.

This unassuming recipe was a family hit. Cumin-seasoned potatoes are mashed, then stuffed inside corn tortillas and pan-fried for a crunchy treat, that is topped with cabbage, tomatoes, cotija cheese, and an easy salsa that we make for you.

A perfect bowl of hearty, flavorful chili must involve layers of beans, vegetables, and seasonings. This chili has all the necessary markings — two different kinds of "meat", two different kinds of tomatoes, two different kinds of pepper and two different kinds of beans.

Sweet potato and jalapeño bisque is a delightful combination of sweet and tangy flavors and happens to be chock full of nutrients, which is perfect when you are surviving a Minnesota winter.

You probably have never prepared a recipe with this much paprika, but the rich, sweet and spicy flavors in this rustic Hungarian chicken dish with creamy pepper sauce will pleasantly surprise you. While we will deliver ready-to-boil hungarian noodles, making them from scratch is very easy (even a good kid-task).

There is something perfect about this dish that is hard to describe. The sweetness of the squash and tang of onion, the richness of pork — all bound up in a little crunchy ball. A super quick sauté of cabbage and mushrooms on the side, along with white rice, make this an excellent meal for the winter blues.

This is another meal that comes together quickly. After marinating the fish for 15-20 minutes, it cooks for about 5 minutes for a medium rare steak that nestles neatly in a brioche slider bun. Comes with slider toppings.

In this recipe, you'll make your own frijoles refritos (which I recently learned actually means “well-cooked beans,” not refried beans), then roll them up with cheese into corn tortillas, top with red sauce and bake until bubbly. This is a tasty dinner you can make-ahead.

When I hear a dish described as being very popular in a foreign country, I am game to try it. (If it's good for 89 million, it must be pretty good!) This dish did not disappoint. Sweet chili sauce and mayo make umami for these crunchy pumpkin nuggets. Served with cabbage and mushroom sauté on the side, and Jasmine rice.

Who doesn't love wonton soup? Pillowy wontons filled with black peppery carrots, cabbage, garlic, and green onions float in a mushroom broth with softened cauliflower and organic tofu.

Chicken Cacciatore is an all-around winner dish: hearty and filling, full of vegetables, low-fat, and a Clean Plate Club winning recipe. Full flavor comes together when chicken is browned lightly, then simmered with peppers, onion, carrots, tomato, and mushrooms with herbs served on a bed of linguine.

The most important part of this dish is the holy basil. While it can be prepared with regular basil, holy basil imparts a special flavor, straddling between basil and mint, with a fruity and peppery flavor. Finely minced pork is sautéed with holy basil, chili-garlic paste, Asian sauces and served with jasmine rice.

How is possible to get so much flavor in so little time? Good question. Fresh, plump shrimp and fresh, plump pasta dance together in garlic, olive oil and parmesan and bring home how simple can be simply wonderful.

We live in the Midwest (or North, as is the new trend), and Beer Cheese Soup is know to most. But have you had Mexican Cheese Soup? An onion and tomato base with potatoes, layered with Mexican aromatics, Mexican melty cheese, and chipotle peppers = a delicious, comforting, hearty soup.

The most important part of this dish is the holy basil. While it can be prepared with regular basil, holy basil imparts a special flavor, straddling between basil and mint, with a fruity and peppery flavor.

This Cauliflower Cheese Pie recipe comes from the legendary Moosewood Cookbook by Mollie Katzen. It embodies the cornerstones of comfort food — potatoes, eggs, and cheese. A creamy cauliflower filling is flanked with a crunchy hash brown crust and gooey cheddar cheese top. This is one vegetarian recipe that everyone will love.

Long pasta ribbons entwine with thin-sliced chicken breast and minced porcini mushrooms in this irresistible dinner. This dish is easy to prepare, but big on warm flavors that are familiar and satisfying. Best of all, it is done in under 30 minutes.

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, these Reubens come with thinly sliced corned beef from our favorite local butcher, and perfectly pickled cabbage and a homemade Russian dressing that pulls the rest together quickly. For the side, this dinner comes with everything you need to make a quick and easy carrot salad.

This is the second Irish fish dinner that has really impressed me. In this recipe, monkfish gets browned on the stove then finishes by roasting in the oven. The monkfish is served on a blanket of creamy potato sauce, covered with Irish-style cabbage (meaning with carrots and ham mixed in) and spooned with a scallion butter.

My love affair with mushroom soup started with Campbell’s, as a child. And when you’re the type of person who orders the mushroom soup every time it is on a menu, you end up with really high standards. This recipe is result of years of mushroom soup critiques and models after the best of the best — rich, complex, earthy, comforting.

Forgot that beef — this glorified grilled cheese has all the flavors you're looking for this St. Pat's Day, with the bonus of an extra helping of vegetables. Gruyère cheese, our scratch-made Russian dressing, pickled cabbage, pumpernickle bread, and an easy carrot salad on the side.

I grew up eating Sarma, a meat and rice filled sour cabbage roll (though I didn’t acquire the taste for the sour cabbage until I was an adult). This vegetarian version is so good — and so different — that you won’t miss the meat. In fact, my husband who loves to say “You know what would make this better?…Meat.”—He fully approves of this recipe.
