Blue Hawaiian
Adjacent to a piña colada, this tropical cocktail gets a splash of citrusy blue liqueur.
Twice-Baked Potatoes
No one—and we mean no one—can resist crispy potato jackets stuffed with velvety mashed potatoes.
Glazed Carrots
An easy side dish for weeknights and holidays, these glazed carrots are coated in a buttery brown sugar syrup.
Chocolate Cream Pie
This easy chocolate pie recipe is a dream: creamy chocolate custard piled into a chocolate cookie crust and topped with whipped cream.
Chocolate Mousse
This rich and silky chocolate mousse recipe is really just two easy recipes—chocolate custard and whipped cream—combined to make one elegant dessert.
Quick Pesto
This Italian pesto recipe comes together quickly thanks to a food processor. Freeze extra for homemade pesto well beyond basil season.
Extra-Juicy Mai Tai
This mai tai stars two types of rum, with orange juice, lime juice, orgeat, and Cointreau for a fruity but balanced take on the original.
