I love this community so much. And I know that youโ€™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 youโ€™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! Todayโ€™s recipes are easy to make but donโ€™t taste easyโ€”the best kind of meal. Hereโ€™s whatโ€™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 youโ€™ve already cooked a huge feast this week, hereโ€™s a hearty option thatโ€™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 donโ€™t have to worry about packing your fridge with more leftovers.
