Masala Popcorn
This popcorn is a take on the Indian snack chiwda, a sweet and savory mix often made with puffed rice, dried fruit, nuts, spices, and herbs. It's a mainstay during Diwali, much like you'd have Chex Mix during the American holiday season.

Red Sauce for Pizza
The only trick to this uncooked sauce is finding good canned tomatoes: If you can’t find Jersey Fresh, look for ones from California, New Jersey, or Italy—the only ingredients should be tomatoes and salt.
Kale-Dusted Pecorino Popcorn
Given that this popcorn is green and has the word "kale" in the title, it has proved to be shockingly popular among the preschooler set (to whom I'd bring it for class snacks when it was our turn) as well as adults.

Marinated Anchovies with Bread and Butter

Herb and Garlic Baked Camembert
Baked Brie and Camembert, rescued from the ordinary, are even better with an herby garlicky mess slathered over them before hitting the oven.

The Witching Hour
Burning sage, a common practice for ritual cleansing, is also a simple way to coax out the herb's essential oil, which gives this gin and pear juice cocktail a pleasantly smoky, herbaceous finish.
