Kimchi gives this porridge recipe a spicy twist, while the 6-minute egg keeps it hearty and perfect for breakfast.
Stuffing Fried Rice

Winter Slaw With Red Pears and Pumpkin Seeds
Trimming a generous amount of the stem from the brussels sprouts makes it quite a bit easier to tease apart the leaves for this winter slaw recipe.
Fennel-Celery Salad with Blue Cheese and Walnuts
Fennel and celery share more than just the dubious honor of being incredibly underrated vegetables. Their snappy crunch is awesome raw, as proven by this densely textured salad recipe.
Skillet Cornbread With Chives
A true Southerner wouldn’t dare add sugar to this cornbread recipe, but a Yankee might miss it. Do what you will; we don’t judge.
Oat and Apple Pancakes
The oats, nuts, and fruit in this batter will start your day on the right nutritional foot—even with a generous glug of maple syrup poured over the top.

This recipe for raw vegetables is the only conscionable thing you can serve right before sitting down to a heavier meal.

Roasted Winter Vegetable Baklava

Winter Panzanella With Stuffing Croutons
Stuffing salad still counts as salad, right?

Mashed Potato Skordalia
Traditional Greek skordalia is mostly garlic and olive oil with some potato or nuts added to thicken it. We flipped the ratio in this recipe: more potato, less garlic. Serve as a dip, or thin out with lemon juice and olive oil and use as a sauce for fish.
