The Casserole Queens are making it their mission to resurrect the classic American casserole. This fantastic recipe for French Toast Casserole from The Casserole Queens Cookbook (Clarkson Potter, 2011) can be made the night before and kept chilled in the fridge overnight. It’s a great recipe to have on hand when hosting guests for brunch or for the weekend. All you’ll have to do the next morning is pop it in the oven!

This sandwich recipe from Try This at Home: Recipes from My Head to Your Plate (Clarkson Potter, February 2013) by Top Chef Richard Blais is a new twist on the classic BLT. Instead of bacon, Blais uses cured, smoked pork belly and slow-roasts it in the oven; it is an interesting way to coax flavor and texture out of an unexpected source.

This refreshing and delicious salad from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage Veg has the perfect little kick.

In his new book, VB6: Eat Vegan Before 6:00 to Lose Weight and Restore Your Health . . . for Good, chef and author Mark Bittman is a huge proponent of stir-fry dinners. Stir-fries are endlessly customizable, fast, fresh and delicious. Unlike some of my coworkers, I haven’t started trying out the VB6 lifestyle yet, but that didn’t stop me from wanting to make a ton of the recipes from the book! One night last week, I decided to try out his dinner (non-vegan) recipe for Steak and Broccoli Stir-Fry.

This Fish-Free Salad Nicoise would make a delicious and substantial lunch that your mom is sure to love this Mother’s Day.
