This recipe for Pain au Potiron comes from The Best of Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day cookbook by Jeff Hertzberg, M.D., and Zoë François. It's a moist whole-wheat bread with tender bites of pumpkin and hints of pepper — perfect for winter squash (and soup!) season.

Grilled Mexican Corn Dip

This easy app is inspired by grilled Mexican corn, and incorporates jalapeños, lime juice, and Mexican cheese for a dip with zip. Nothing draws a crowd like a cheesy dip, and when fresh sweet corn is the main ingredient, be prepared for a stampede at the appetizer table.

This homemade caramel-popcorn-and-peanuts mix is a golden Cracker Jack copycat. All that’s missing is the little prize at the bottom of the box.

Coconut Paletas

Coconut Paletas deliver creamy, cool, fresh flavor, making them the epitome of a summer treat.

The second recipe, Pineapple-Coconut Paletas, incorporates pineapple (or strawberry) purée to flavor the coconut milk and add extra fruitiness.

Bacon Pesto

Bacon and pesto are a match made in heaven — so why not mix them together?! This Bacon Pesto is THE pasta sauce for the avid bacon lover.
