Cook the Book: 'One Big Table'

I'd have to agree with pie- it's flexible enough to allow regional reflections of What Pie Should Be (and it's delicious).

Healthy & Delicious: Swiss Chard and Turkey Sausage Over Polenta

I want this! But- the boy is vegetarian. Any ideas for good veggie substitutes? I'm not wild about the soy sausages, but am thinking mushrooms or zucchini might be nice with some fennel seed to echo my favorite sausage flavoring. Thoughts?

Cook the Book: 'The Essential New York Times Cookbook'

ATK Best 30 Minute Recipe maybe? All the recipes seem way more delicious than they should be for so little time investment. Moosewood simple suppers is moving on up, though.

Cook the Book: Barefoot Contessa, 'How Easy Is That?'

Perhaps Thai red curry with vegetables and crispy tofu? I love the steaming bowl of rice alongside and the fiance always helps out with this dish (it's his recipe!), so that makes it even simpler.

Alton Brown's Sardine-Avocado Sandwiches

@volkstricken
I think I'm conditioned to cringe when someone substitutes in a recipe on first try, but your idea of arugula sounds AWESOME. :)

6-year-old me: Velveeta YUM!!! 26-year-old me: Help!

Such great advice already! I should clarify that the reason I ask is because I made the meatball casserole last week (with Velveeta) and it was SO good- even if I were to get the perfect 'gourmet' solution here, I can't say I'd NEVER make it with Velveeta again.

It's more that I started wondering what I could replace it with if I wanted to- and wasn't quite sure. I'm very fond of both recipes and wanted some options (just like these!) in case I ever want to 'class it up' for company- and for that matter, all of your options seem like they could lend a complexity to the dishes I'd be interested in exploring. But the taste of the big V is definitely pure, irreplaceable nostalgia, and I'd never swear it off entirely :)

Healthy & Delicious: Avocado and Corn Salsa

I started reading without seeing who had written this and upon reading "Oh, sweet Bea Arthur," I thought, "This HAS to be written by Kris from CHG." And shore 'nuf. Did I just pass some sort of Best Friend Test? (fingers crossed)

by the way.. I post as Lindsey on CHG :) and yes, I'll be making this deliciousness soon.

Cook the Book: 'The Bon Appétit Fast Easy Fresh Cookbook'

Pasta, for sure- I always keep whole wheat pasta, whole canned tomatoes and onions on hand and throw in whatever leftover meat and veggies I have in the fridge- it's ridiculously simple but I'm somewhat addicted to it.

John Legend's 'Nutmeg' Song on Stephen Colbert's Christmas Special

Hmmm... I am wondering if you are a fan of Colbert's show normally? I think if you are a fan of his show, it was an extension of the type of special Colbert the Character would love, which made it more enjoyable (but on its own, not the best). But I'm probably not to be trusted, since I can't do Christmas without watching the Andy Williams specials (I'm only 25, I swear it!)... the more singing, the more dancing, the more kitsch... the better.

Serious Grape: The Next Big Grape

My favorite wine description ever: "A wine that tastes like a very-berry Zinfandel that walked through a tannic Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard with a dark chocolate bar clutched in its fist."

I respectfully request that the flavor profiles of all wines be personified from this point forward. Much obliged.
