I was working the soups and sauces station at a popular restaurant in the late '80s when the chef handed me a recipe to make as the special of the day. The chef, who was also the owner, had lived in France and taught me to make several authentic French dishes. This one, called a pan bagnat, opened my eyes to a whole different way to sandwich.

If you are a fan of both cheesecake and Pop-Tarts, these homemade blueberry cheesecake Pop-Tarts are the perfect fusion of the two treats. The soft, tangy cream cheese and the sweet and fruity blueberry jam balance each other well. Recipe developer Milena Manolova says, "The blueberries provide a fruity flavor and a beautiful purple color, and they blend into the tanginess and richness of the cream cheese." The texture of the pastry is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which contrasts perfectly with the creamy filling.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Some like it smothered in a robust Bolognese or tossed with a simple fresh tomato sauce. Others like it swirled in a creamy spinach sauce or mixed with pungent garlic and anchovies. However you like it best, there’s no denying that pasta is one of the most popular dinner choices. And for good reason. It’s fast, simple and delicious and just about everyone loves it. But have you ever noticed that pasta at a restaurant just tastes better than homemade? Well, there’s a reason for that, and it’s not necessarily that chefs are adding more salt or fat. In fact, there are simple techniques (and a little culinary know-how) that can help you replicate restaurant-quality pasta at home.

This easy Bacon and Corn Quiche makes a delicious breakfast or brunch using just a few ingredients that are easy to keep on hand! The prep for this recipe is quick and easy, but it’s a crowd-pleaser that works equally well for a fancy holiday brunch or to just make for a casual week of breakfasts. It uses a pre-made pie crust and frozen corn kernels, so it comes together quickly enough to serve anytime! I like to serve it with fruit at breakfast time or a side salad at brunch/lunch. The sweetness of the corn is perfect with the smoky, salty bacon and sharp cheddar cheese, and the flavors all come together in fluffy eggs and a flaky pie crust! Better still, a slice of this Bacon and Corn Quiche is just 189 calories or 5 WW Points (or 6 Points if following the diabetic Weight Watchers plan).
