A hearty, comforting dish full of saucy, tomato-laden beans, salty cheese, and crisp bread crumbs.

Peanut sauce is like the chocolate sauce of dinnertime. I’m pretty sure I’d eat my shoe if it were covered in enough of it.

The ability to serve French toast for a brunch party without slaving at the stovetop for hours is a beautiful thing.

A quick toss of fresh fruit with flavor-enhancing salt and olive oil, some strategic (or rather, mindless) unwrapping of cheese and crackers, and you’re pretty much there, appetizer-wise.
