This recipe comes with its own list of not-to-miss tips to ensure the creamiest mashed potatoes ever to hit your table. Make sure you know where you've stashed the ricer (or food mill). My colleague Chris Morocco probably didn't expect his recipe to reach the gold standard for green beans. Yet they've enjoyed the title year in and year out. No cream of mushroom soup here, but there will be French's Crispy Fried Onions.
With a buttery, flaky pastry base and a rich, savory filling, quiche strikes the perfect balance between elegance and heartiness. This brunch favorite is typically made with eggs, heavy cream, cheese, and a medley of meat- or veggie-based add-ins, yielding a creamy, protein-rich dish that can feed a crowd. Quiche can be enjoyed warm or cold, and it makes for a delicious addition to a buffet-style lunch, served alongside a selection of complementary sides.
I have to confess that I'm a bit of a rice hater. Of all the starchy sides I could put on my plate, it's always going to fall behind two of my favorite comfort foods: potatoes and pasta. But as groceries get increasingly expensive, I think it's time to reexamine the humble side of rice. Because really, rice is what you make of it - and you can make it into pretty much anything. These simple rice recipes for dinner and sides will teach you new ways to use up your bag of rice, from elevated side dishes to complete meals.
