Cozy Weekends ☕️

A simple, comforting recipe for fall suppers 🥣

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

I’ve been cooking a lot of cozy food lately, and this week I finally finished a recipe that always feels a little special to me: creamy mashed parsnips.

If you’ve never cooked with parsnips before, they taste a bit like a sweeter, brighter version of a carrot. When you simmer them with a little milk and blend them with an immersion blender, they turn into a smooth, lightly sweet mash.

(The immersion blender is optional, though; using a potato masher also works and creates a nice rustic mash instead.)

They’re wonderful with turkey, roasted chicken, salmon, beef stew and more.

I’m also resharing my Easy Thanksgiving Recipes collection this week because I’ve added new dishes and wanted to make sure you have everything in one place.

A hand holding a crisp plain potato chip topped with a piece of smoked salmon, a dollop of creme fraiche, and a fresh chive.

Hi Reader, As we get ready to welcome the new year, I wanted to share two easy little treats you can make for New Year’s Eve. The sparkling cranberry punch is festive, refreshing, and alcohol-free. You can make most of it ahead of time, just wait to add the ginger ale until you’re ready to serve. And the potato chip canapés are one of my favourite low-effort appetizers: crisp, salty chips topped with smoked salmon, a little creaminess, and fresh herbs. I imagine they’d be good with champagne,...

A clear glass of frothy eggless eggnog on a fancy coaster.

Hi Reader, My idea of a little treat is a cozy, warm drink. Usually, it's tea that gets me through the workday, but now that I'm taking some time off (FINALLY!), all I want are warm holiday beverages. This week I’m sharing two of my go-to holiday drinks:eggless eggnog (which is non-alcoholic) and my spiced hot chocolate. The eggnog is creamy and lightly spiced without being too sweet, and it comes together in just a few minutes. I love to drink this warm, but it's great cold, too. The hot...
