“Delicious, we liked the carbonara. It was simple to make. I followed Kim’s suggestion not to salt the water. The carbonara definitely didn’t need more salt. I used bacon because the grocery store didn’t have any pancetta.” —Lela

With a tender, cake-like base and a gooey almond frangipane topping, these strawberry-rhubarb bars strike the perfect balance of rich and bright. The sweet-tart fruit complements the nutty almond flavor beautifully. They’re delicious served warm, at room temperature, or chilled, though you’ll want to store them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh longer.

This Cattle Drive Casserole is the kind of hearty, comforting dinner that never goes out of style. Packed with seasoned ground beef, onions, poblanos, tomatoes, and beans, it delivers plenty of savory flavor in every bite. A creamy, cheesy sour cream layer adds richness and tang, while golden biscuits baked on top create an irresistible contrast of textures and a dose of homestyle charm.
