Apple Pie
Does anything taste quite as good as warm apple pie?
Comfort Food
What is comfort food? Something that makes us feel safe? Something that reminds us of home? Whatever it is, comfort foods tend to be soft, warm, and easy to prepare. Potatoes, pasta, and soups feature prominently. Here are some of my favorite comfort foods.

Applesauce
Sure you could just buy it at the store, but homemade applesauce is one of the all-time great treats.
Avocado Soup
Chilled soups are wonderful in the summertime, and they tend to be incredibly easy to prepare. This spicy, creamy avocado soup is no exception.

I love polenta, but I hate cooking it on the stove. Turns out there's a ridiculously easy way to make it - in the oven!

Baked ricotta cheese with herbs makes a savory, slightly spongy cake - a very simple yet delicious appetizer.
