Larry the Turkey Cupcakes

Ingredients:
24 standard Pumpkin Spice cupcakes baked in white paper liners
24 mini Pumpkin Spice cupcakes baked in white paper liners
1 cup vanilla frosting
1/2 cup chocolate frosting
24 thin ginger-flavored scalloped cookies (Anna’s Ginger Thins)
2 cups candy corn
1 1/2 cups caramel jimmies
1 can (16 ounces) plus 1 cup caramel frosting
24 pieces Indian candy corn
48 brown chocolate-covered sunflower seeds (available at gourmet candy stores)
1 roll red fruit leather (Fruit by the Foot)
24 graham cracker sticks (Honey Made Graham Sticks)
12 marshmallows

Instructions:
Spoon the vanilla and chocolate frosting into separate ziplock bags, press out the excess air, and seal. Snip a 1/8 inch corner from the bag with the vanilla frosting and pipe a dot of frosting on 7 adjacent scallops on each ginger cookie to make the tail fan. Add a piece of candy corn to each dot of frosting, pointed end facing in.
Place the caramel jimmies in a small shallow bowl. Spread the caramel frosting on top of all the cupcakes, standard and mini, and smooth. Roll the edge of the standard cupcakes in the jimmies. Dip the top edge of the mini cupcakes in the jimmies.
Press 1 piece of Indian candy corn into the center of each mini cupcake, flat side down, for the break. Pipe 2 dots of the vanilla frosting above the break for the eyes and insert 2 brown sunflower seeds, pointed end down. Cut the red fruit leather into twenty-four 1 1/2 inch long teardrop shapes and lay them over the beak to make the wattle.
Snip a 1/8 inch corner from the bag with the chocolate frosting and pipe names on the flat side of the graham cracker cookies.
Enlarge the hole in the corner of the bag with the chocolate frosting to 1/4 inch. Using clean scissors, cut the marshmallows in half on the diagonal. Place 1 marshmallow half, cut side down, near the edge of one of the standard cupcakes, with the tapered end facing the center, to make a support for the tail. Pipe a dot of chocolate frosting on the tapered end. Place the tail cookie on the marshmallow, pressing the undecorated edge into the frosting on the marshmallow. Add the mini cupcake head on top so that half of it is resting on the undecorated edge of the cookie and the other half is pressed lightly into the frosting to secure.
Add the graham cookies at the base of the mini cupcakes, securing with a dot of frosting.
Arrange the turkeys on the table as place cards. Place 2 candy corns on the table in front of each turkey to make the feet.
Pumpkin Patch Cupcakes

Ingredients:
12 standard Pumpkin Spice cupcakes baked in orange paper liners
24 mini Pumpkin Spice cupcakes baked in white paper liners
4 green licorice twists (Twizzlers Rainbow Twists)
1 can (16 ounces) plus 1 cup vanilla frosting
Orange food coloring (available at baking supply stores)
1 cup orange decorating sugar (available at baking supply stores)
Green licorice laces (Watermelon Madness Fruit Streamers)

Instructions:
Cut the licorice twists into thirty-six 3/4-inch pieces for the pumpkin stems. Tint the vanilla frosting orange with the food coloring. Tint 1/2 cup of the orange frosting a darker shade of orange with more food coloring, and spoon into a ziplock bag. Press out the excess air, seal the bag, and set aside.
Place the orange decorating sugar in a shallow bowl. Spread the lighter orange frosting on top of the cupcakes, mounding it slightly. Starting on the edge, roll the cupcake tops in the sugar to cover completely.
Use a wooden skewer to mark ridges in the top of each cupcake. Starting in the center or slightly off center, lightly press the skewer down toward the top of the paper liner to create 5 or 6 indentations. Snip a 1/16-inch corner from the bag with the darker orange frosting and pipe a line in each indentation to make the ribs. Insert a cut green twist for the stem. Arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter or a cutting board and add the green licorice laces, trimmed to various lengths, for the tendrils.
Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

Ingredients:
1 box (18.25 ounces) French vanilla or yellow cake mix
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
Follow the box instructions, putting all the ingredients in a large bowl and using the buttermilk in place of the water specified, using the amount of vegetable oil that is called for, and adding the eggs. Beat with an electric mixer until moistened, about 30 seconds. Increase the speed to high and beat until thick, 2 minutes longer.
Spoon half the batter into a ziplock bag. Snip 1/4 inch corner from the bag and fill the paper liners two-thirds full. Repeat with the remaining batter. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the baking pans, place on a wire rack, and allow to cool completely.
Creamy Mac and Cheese

Ingredients:
1 (13.25-ounce) box whole wheat elbow pasta
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3 cups unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions:
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
In the same pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the flour and mix with a wooden spoon, stirring continuously for about 5 minutes, or until you have a lightly browned paste (this is the roux).
Add 1 cup of the almond milk and whisk well, breaking up any lumps. Stir in the remaining 2 cups almond milk and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring continuously and occasionally scraping the bottom of the pan with the wooden spoon, until the mixture has thickened and coats the spoon with little to no transparency. Turn off the heat.
Stir in the pasta until it’s covered in the sauce. Add the cheese and mix until it has melted and is evenly distributed.
Serve with a crunchy green salad.
Eggplant Cannelloni with Pine Nut Romesco Sauce

Ingredients:
2 large eggplants, peeled and sliced lengthwise 1/2-inch thick
2–3 tablespoons water
2 medium red bell peppers, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup chopped celery
4 cloves garlic
8 ounces baby spinach
No-salt seasoning blend, adjusted to taste, or 1 tablespoons Dr. Fuhrman’s VegiZest
1 cup cooked quinoa, Kamut, barley, spelt, or brown rice
2 cups no-salt-added or low-sodium pasta sauce
3 ounces nondairy, mozzarella-type cheese, shredded
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 tomato, chopped
1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
1/2 cup roasted red peppers
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons pine nuts (see Note)
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly oil a nonstick baking pan. Arrange eggplant in a single layer in the pan. Bake about 20 minutes or until eggplant is flexible enough to roll up easily. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons water in a large pan, add the bell pepper, onion, carrots, celery, and garlic and sauté until just tender, adding more water if needed. Add the spinach and VegiZest or other no-salt seasoning blend, and cook until spinach is wilted. Add the cooked quinoa.
Transfer to a mixing bowl. Mix in 2-3 tablespoons of the pasta sauce and all of the shredded cheese. Spread about 1/4 cup of the pasta sauce in a baking pan. Put some of the vegetable mixture on each eggplant slice, roll up, and place in the pan. Pour remaining sauce over the eggplant rolls. Bake for 20 minutes, until heated through.
To make romesco sauce, sauté the onions, garlic, and tomatoes in a little water or white wine until the onions are translucent, add chili powder, and sauté an extra minute. Put onion mixture in a high-powered blender with the remaining ingredients and puree until smooth. Serve eggplant with a drizzle of romesco sauce.
Thai Beef Salad

Ingredients:
1 pound (455 g) strip steak (about 1 inch/2.5 cm thick; see Tip), trimmed and at room temperature
Vegetable oil
Salt and pepper
1 large head of butter lettuce, also known as Boston or Bibb, leaves torn into bite-size pieces
1/2 English cucumber, halved lengthwise and sliced
1/2 pint (120 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 small red onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
Handful of fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
Large handful of fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
Chile-Lime Sauce
Handful of roasted peanuts
whole or roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions:
Preheat the broiler, with a rack positioned so that the meat will be 3 to 4 inches (7.5 to 10 cm) from the heat. Line the bottom of a broiler pan with foil for easier clean-up, if you like, then top with the broiler rack. Put the meat on the broiler rack, lightly coat with the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Broil the meat for 5 to 7 minutes per side for medium-rare (err on the side of caution with the time; you can always cook it more). Transfer to a cutting board, sprinkle with salt, and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, mint, and cilantro.*
Cut the meat against the grain into very thin slices and add to the bowl. (If the meat is still hot, wait a few minutes until it is warm or it will wilt the lettuce and herbs.) Drizzle the salad with just enough Chile-Lime Sauce to lightly coat and gently toss together. Top with the peanuts, if you like.
Prepare to *, then cover and refrigerate the lettuce mixture and the unsliced meat separately for up to 1 day. The meat can be sliced and added to the salad cold or you can warm it in a 300°F (150°C) oven, if you prefer.
If the salad will be served within 1 hour or so, cover the lettuce mixture and meat separately and leave them on the counter. People can help themselves and then toss their individual portions with the dressing.
Baked Penne with Green Chiles

Ingredients:
2 cups (480 ml) whole milk
1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
One 15-ounce (425-g) can crushed tomatoes
One 4-ounce (115-g) can diced green chiles, drained
2 cups (230 g) shredded sharp Cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
1 heaping tablespoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper
1 pound (455 g) penne or ziti
1 cup (100 g) freshly grated Pecorino or Parmesan cheese

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C), with a rack in the middle position. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, in a 13 by 9-inch (33 by 23-cm) baking dish, stir together the milk, cream, tomatoes, chiles, Cheddar, and mustard. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper, then set the tomato mixture aside.
When the water boils, season it generously with salt; it should taste like seawater. When it returns to a boil, add the pasta, quickly stir to separate the noodles, then cover the pot. When the water returns to a boil again, uncover and boil the pasta until very al dente, stirring occasionally.
Drain the pasta thoroughly, then pour the noodles on top of the tomato mixture and toss to combine. Gently “shake” the dish to distribute the ingredients, then top evenly with the Pecorino.*
Bake until bubbling and lightly browned, about 12 minutes. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Prepare to * without preheating the oven, then keep, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Bake, covered, at 350°F (175°C) until hot, about 30 to 60 minutes (if frozen), uncovering for the last 10 minutes or so.
Serve hot or warm. It will keep, loosely covered, in a 200°F (90°C) oven for up to 2 hours.

Salt and pepper
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups (275 g) long-grain white rice, rinsed
1 bay leaf
3 cups (720 ml) low-sodium chicken broth or water
1 cup (135 g) frozen peas (optional)
Handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 [3–4-pound (1.6–1.8-kg)] chicken, cut into 8 pieces, or 2–3 pounds (1.2–1.4 kg) chicken parts, patted dry
Salt and pepper
1/2 pound (225 g) mild pork sausages, casings removed or 1/4 pound (115 g) mild pork sausages, casings removed, plus 1/4 pound (115 g) chicken livers, roughly chopped
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 small bell pepper (any color), diced
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups (275 g) long-grain white rice, rinsed
1 bay leaf
3 cups (720 ml) low-sodium chicken broth or water
Handful of sliced scallions (optional)

Instructions:
In a large skillet or high-sided sauté pan with a lid, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat until the foam from the butter begins to subside. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper, then put it in the pan skin-side down. Cook—resisting the urge to repeatedly poke, prod, and look underneath—until it doesn't stick to the pan and is golden brown, about 6 minutes.
Flip the chicken over and cook for 5 minutes more. Transfer to a platter, then pour off all but about 2 tablespoons of the fat from the pan. Add the sausages and livers (if using) and cook over medium-high heat, stirring often and breaking up the meat, until browned, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onions and, if using, the peppers, celery, garlic, and cayenne. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, about 8 minutes. Add the rice and bay leaf and cook, stirring often, until the rice is lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.*
Add the broth, stir to combine, then add the reserved chicken, skin-side up, and any accumulated juices. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the chicken is just cooked through and the rice is tender, about 20 minutes (see Tip). Let the pan sit, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes after taking it off the heat. Taste the rice and stir in a little more salt and/or pepper, if needed, then sprinkle with parsley or scallions, if you like.
Prepare up to * and refrigerate, covered, for up to 1 day. Let sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before continuing with the recipe. You may need to add a few minutes to the cooking time.
Serve hot or warm. It will keep, covered, in a 200°F (90°C) oven, for about 1 hour.
Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons cinnamon, 2 tablespoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground allspice, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

Simple One-Skillet Chicken Alfredo Pasta

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Kosher or coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 cups chicken broth, preferably low-sodium
1 package (1 pound) penne rigate or ziti
1 1/2 cups heavy (whipping) cream or half-and-half, warmed
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (optional)

Instructions:
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
Melt the butter in a very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, in batches if necessary, and sauté until nicely browned on the outside, but still a bit pink inside, about 4 minutes (the pieces don’t have to be browned on all sides; two sides is fine). Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
Do not clean the pan! Those brown bits on the bottom of the pan are going to add flavor to the sauce. Add the garlic to the pan and sauté over medium heat until you can smell it, 30 seconds. Turn the heat to high, add the chicken broth, and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen up all of those delicious caramelized bits. Bring to a simmer, lower to medium heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the pasta, stir well, and simmer until the pasta starts to soften, about 8 minutes. Stir in the warm cream and the browned chicken with any juices that have accumulated on the plate. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender, most of the liquid has been absorbed, and the chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes more.
Stir in the Parmesan until well incorporated, and adjust the seasonings.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and sprinkle with the parsley, if desired. Serve hot and pass extra Parmesan at the table.
When you add the Parmesan in Step 4, you can add any of the following to the pot, alone or in combination; stir over medium heat for another minute or two. 1 tablespoon puréed chipotles in adobo sauce 4 cups sliced mushrooms, sautéed 3 cups lightly cooked tiny broccoli florets 2 tablespoons fresh herbs, such as oregano, thyme, or parsley Or, you can serve up portions of Chicken Alfredo Pasta for those who like it plain and simple, and add proportionate amounts of any of the add-ins to the pot.
While it's certainly reasonable to thrill over a meal of reheated leftover Alfredo pasta, either warmed on the stovetop or in the microwave, this dish is best when it's made just before serving.

3 tablespoons (or more) sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar
Kosher salt
3/4 cup (or more) olive oil

Instructions:
Purée cucumbers, garlic, and 1/2 cup water in a blender until smooth. Add arugula, herbs, vinegar, and a large pinch of salt and purée, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed, until very smooth. With the motor running, slowly stream in oil; blend until emulsified. (The mixture will turn pale green and look creamy, almost like a salad dressing; add more oil and/or water if needed.) Taste gazpacho and season with more salt and vinegar as desired—you want it to be borderline too salty and acidic at room temperature. Transfer gazpacho to an airtight container; cover and chill until very cold, 4–12 hours.
Taste gazpacho and adjust with a little more salt and/or vinegar as needed just before pouring into chilled glasses.
