Warm Savory Brie Dip 🍄🫒 Consider your holiday appetizer handled. ✨ This warm, savory brie dip is one of those appetizers you put on the table and somehow it’s gone five minutes later. 😂 Creamy melted brie with mushrooms, garlic, green onions and olives, served warm with plenty of crusty bread for dipping. It feels a little elevated, takes hardly any effort, and is exactly the kind of cozy appetizer I want on the table when friends and family are gathered around during the holidays. And seriously… do not underestimate how much bread you’ll need. 😂 🤍 Comment “BRIE” and I’ll send you the recipe! Save this one for holiday entertaining, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or your next cozy dinner party. #HolidayAppetizer #BrieDip #HolidayRecipes #EasyAppetizer #HolidayEntertaining

Ricotta Gnocchi with Braised Beef 🍅🤎 Okay… I think I’ve officially been converted to an air fryer person. 😂 I’ve always been hesitant about air fryers because I’m really particular about the materials my food comes in contact with when I cook. So when I discovered the @cookmagnifique Combo Air Fryer + Multi-Cooker and saw that the food-contact surfaces are glass and stainless steel, THAT got my attention. But what really surprised me was how much this thing can actually do. It has 12 different cooking modes — everything from air frying and baking to braising, slow cooking, steaming and even proofing. First, a whole air-fried chicken. Then sweet potato fries. And once I realized how beautifully it cooked those, I wanted to see what else I could do. So we went full comfort food. I seared beef chuck, added wine and broth, and let it braise until it was fall-apart tender. Then I made little pillows of homemade ricotta gnocchi and finished everything with homemade heirloom tomato sauce from the garden, Parmesan and fresh basil. Ricotta gnocchi + fall-apart braised beef + homemade garden tomato sauce = HEAVEN. And being able to sear, braise, slow cook AND air fry with one appliance? @cookmagnifique, I get the hype now. 😂👏🏻 Comment “COMBO” and I’ll send you the full recipe for the homemade ricotta gnocchi + braised beef with all the Combo Air Fryer Info! Save this one for a cozy fall dinner. 🍂🤎 #Magnifique #AirFryerRecipes #RicottaGnocchi #BraisedBeef #FromScratchCooking Thank you again! I’m excited to hear what you think. Kendra

Some dishes stay with you long after the last bite. Sometime between 2008 and 2010, I had a pasta dish at @CaféCruz that I have thought about ever since. I couldn’t remember every detail, but I remembered the richness, the subtle tang of mustard, and how beautifully it paired with steak. So, all these years later, I finally recreated it from memory: ravioli tossed in a creamy Alfredo sauce with toasted mustard seeds, Dijon, Parmesan, and cracked pepper, served alongside a perfectly cooked ribeye. I have no idea if this is how they originally made it, but after one bite, I felt like I might have nailed it. ✨ Thank you, @cafecruz, for inspiring a dish I never forgot.
