Coffee Cake with Chocolate Streusel
Crumble-y, chocolate-y goodness makes this a treat worth getting out of bed for.
There's a New Margarita in Town and It Has Cilantro
It's time to add some cilantro to your margarita.
Cilantro Margarita
Attention: Also delicious with mint in place of the cilantro (some people really hate cilantro).
New-New Bloody Mary
Our favorite Bloody Mary is an instant classic. Great-quality tomato juice, bright lemon juice, savory Worcestershire, and a tangy hot sauce deliver on all fronts.
BA's Best Cream Scones
This basic scone recipe is perfect as is, but the upgrades and flavor add-ins are nothing to scoff at, either.
Lentil Soup With Sausage and Mustard Greens
Any type of lentil will work in this weeknight soup. Or, substitute a couple cans of cannellini beans in their place.
Apple Raspberry Crumb Bars
Two different types of apples give you a mix of textures and an ideal sweet-tart filling. If you’re looking to streamline, use one or the other (Pink Ladies are less sour).
Lemon-Lavender Pound Cake
Look for culinary lavender at specialty food stores, tea and spice shops, or online.
BA’s Best Hash Browns
There are two kinds of hash browns: The chunky, floury, vaguely brown but not crisp kind, and the lacy, crunchy, shredded version here. Guess which one we prefer? This is part of BA's Best, a collection of our essential recipes.
Red Wine-Braised Brisket
You know those dishes that everyone says taste even better if you make them ahead of time? This is a perfect example. The flavors continue to deepen as the braise sits, and it’s that much easier to skim the surface when the sauce has a chance to chill.
BA’s Best Beef-and-Bacon Meatloaf
Seasoned stock keeps this meatloaf juicy and flavorful. A doctored ketchup delivers just the right amount of tang, spice, and sweetness. And the bacon? We think it speaks for itself. This is part of BA's Best, a collection of our essential recipes.
BA’s Best Buttermilk Pancakes
To feed a larger group for breakfast, double the recipe and keep pancakes warm in a 250° oven between batches.
Bittersweet Chocolate Truffles
Three ingredients: Make sure they count. Great chocolate makes great truffles. These will soften quickly at room temperature, so chill them well before rolling, and don’t let them sit out before serving. This is part of BA's Best, a collection of our essential recipes.
