I love this community so much. And I know that you’re probably all busy getting ready for celebrations happening tonight and tomorrow, so I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a happy, healthy holiday. You guys are my present!

Here are a few recipes to keep you nourished, body and soul, during this wild holiday week. Who cares what day it is when you’re eating well?

  • Whether you make latkes on one night or eight, here are my tips for making them as delicious as possible.

  • Create holiday memories with a cute gingerbread house or bake a batch of your favorite cookies.

  • Take it easy! Today’s recipes are easy to make but don’t taste easy—the best kind of meal. Here’s what’s on the menu this week for your post-holiday ease:

    • Short Rib Stew

    • Leftover Chicken Soup

    • Steak & Slaw (or Tofu & Slaw)

Short Rib Stew

If you’ve already cooked a huge feast this week, here’s a hearty option that’s equal parts cozy and easy. It takes about 30 minutes to prep, then you just have to pop it in the oven to finish. This makes just enough for 2-3 people as a meal, so you don’t have to worry about packing your fridge with more leftovers.
