Recipe: Polenta with Swiss Chard and White Beans — Vegetarian Recipes from The Kitchn
When I started working for myself full time, I had this idyllic notion that since I would be working from home, I’d have time to cook the types of meals I wanted to eat. I dreamed that dinner would be my time to unwind and cook what I wanted to cook. It turns out, however, I do not know how to say “no” to projects, and instead of those nice, long dinners, most weeknights I’m in a rush just to whip something up in between projects.
That is where this pared-down dish comes into play. This casual assembly of store-bought polenta, white beans, and silky chard make a quick and filling meal that’s easy to pull together on even the busiest of evenings.
How To Make Mashed Potatoes in the Slow Cooker — Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
Mashed potatoes are a requirement on the Thanksgiving table, and a hearty side dish for any meal throughout the fall and winter. But they do require some labor: Peeling, chopping, boiling, mashing. One of my favorite Thanksgiving tips is to do all this labor ahead and keep the potatoes warm for hours in the Crock-Pot.
But then it hit me: Why not use the slow cooker from start to finish? Could you take half the labor out of mashed potatoes? Turns out, you can — and, guess what? I’m never going back. Here’s a step-by-step recipe for the best mashed potatoes, made from start to finish in the slow cooker.

Recipe: Southwestern Butternut Squash Soup — Recipes from The Kitchn
Butternut squash soup is one of those meals that defines autumn for me. Pretty much as soon as the leaves begin showing hints of orange, I start scooping up these big-bottomed squashes at the market and putting this creamy soup on the regular meal rotation.
This fall, I thought I’d mix things up a bit and add a Southwestern spin to my usual butternut squash soup. Cumin and coriander add spicy warmth while a squeeze of orange and lime give it a hit of late-fall sunshine.
My Family Had a Side Dish-Only Thanksgiving, and It Was Awesome
A few years ago, my family decided not to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving. We didn’t replace it with turkey breast or Tofurkey. We didn’t sub in a glorious stuffed pumpkin. We just cut out the main dish entirely.
How could we have a Thanksgiving meal without the main course, you ask? I’ll tell you how: Side dishes. Because let’s be honest — side dishes are the best part of Thanksgiving, so we decided to make our meal entirely about them.
Low-Fat Recipes: Chicken Soup with Adzuki Beans, Escarole, and Sweet Potato

“This absolutely delicious soup was created to help use up the Adzuki beans, wild rice, and sweet potatoes in my pantry. I decided to use the sweet potato instead of regular potatoes, and was delightfully surprised by the wonderful flavor blend it created with the sweetness of the onions, garlic, and Adzuki beans. I also wanted to try escarole in a soup, and the result was fantastic. Adzuki beans are found in any health food or specialty store, and in many national grocery chains. They have a great nutty, slightly sweet taste, and are especially tasty added to chicken soups of any kind.”
