Brussels have come a long way since grandma used to boil them and serve 'em up plain. If you haven't jumped on the brussel bandwagon yet, today is your day, my friend. The addition of bacon, shallots, and apples in this brussel sprout dish makes it more a one-pot meal than a side. This would be a great accompaniment to pork, but I like to eat a big bowl by itself! We'll just be impressed if you ...

Kale, Apple, + Roasted Chickpea Salad with Garlic Tahini Dressing
Now that honeycrisp apples are in season, I've found myself eating this salad way too often. Between the crunchy roasted chickpeas and the chopped apples, this salad has great texture. It's very satisfying as a stand-alone meal, but you can always add sliced chicken if you'd like.

But until recently, I had no idea how the humble radish transforms in the oven. The flavor of the radish changes during ...
