Lentil soups are popular throughout the Middle East. Most are pretty simple, just lentils, some aromatic vegetables, and stock or water, but with a complex blend of spices, and are eaten as starters or side dishes. The Lebanese version has a brighter flavor, spiced only  with cumin, and then finished with lemon. With potato and fresh leafy greens, it can be eaten as a light meal on its own or with just some toasted pita.

This recipe is for when you’re craving restaurant-style shredded chicken in a hearty, savory broth loaded with veggies.

This recipe is adapted from the March 1998 issue of Taste of Home, a tattered page my parents referenced for years as they served this soup to our family. I remember topping the soup in my white, ceramic mug with a thick layer of parmesan so that every spoonful included a bit of melty, salty cheese. This simple, but hearty soup comes together in as quickly as 30 minutes and utilizes a number of delicious, seasonal Market ingredients. But feel free to make your cooking process last a little longer by making your own bone broth from pasture-raised Market meat or soaking some dried beans from the Market. Choose your adventure and enjoy your creation!

I didn’t used to like applesauce, it just reminded me of baby food – mushy and bit sweet, but without a lot of real apple flavor. But that was apple sauce from a jar. Homemade applesauce, cooked slowly with warm winter spices, is a very different thing.

This recipe is great for an easy, protein-heavy weeknight dinner!

Borsch! This beet packed stew is full of iron, folate, and Vitamin C. Whether you’re making a baby (like me) or not, the wholesomeness of this stew cannot be denied. Think smooth, pink, savory, and hearty. Give beets and chance!

Matt’s Chicken Pot Pie won first place in this year’s Harvest Fest Pie Contest! His flaky crush revealed a lush and savory filling of creamy veggies and chicken. This recipe would be a great one for any leftover Thanksgiving turkey! Try it with other proteins or other seasonal veggies.

Looking for something a little different for Thanksgiving? Kar Assaly is a classic Egyptian dessert of spiced winter squash, topped with nuts, raisins, and coconut, and then covered with a bechamel sauce. While it’s called “pumpkin pie,” it’s really neither, as it lacks the crust of a pie and can be made with any sweet winter squash, not just pumpkin. But it can easily take the place of pumpkin pie in your holiday meal.

It’s November, so our pie series is BACK! Starting off with Harvest Fest’s third place winner🏅Caramel Apple Pie by Marie Miller.

Indian cooking can be very complex, with sauces containing dozens of ingredients that take hours (if not days) to cook. But that’s high-end cooking, the kind the maharaja’s ate and restaurants specialize in. Home cooks in India make much simpler dishes, using the same flavor palate, but with less complex techniques. Here are some very common, Indian home-cooking dishes.

Made with hearty soaked whole grains, a tangy roasted red pepper sauce, and filled with olives and other veggies, this salad is great as a side or add a protein for a power packed bowl!

Late summer vegetables are bursting with flavor. Eggplant and tomatoes are a classic pairing, but because eggplant takes so long to cook through, it can be tricky getting them to cook together without ending up with a mush. The hasselback technique, where you cut an ingredient most of the way through in parallel slices, is usually used for things like potatoes, butternuts, beets, and even chicken, but it also works brilliantly to combine eggplants and tomatoes. By stuffing the eggplants with tomato, cheese, and seasonings, all the delicious flavors cook together while holding their shapes. One eggplant per person makes a generous, vegetarian main dish, or you can cut them into thirds to serve as sides.
