Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 1 (12 ounce) package elbow macaroni

  • 4 hard-cooked eggs, chopped

  • 3 stalks celery, minced

  • 1 (6 ounce) package frozen peas, thawed

  • 2 cups low fat mayonnaise (such as Hellmann's® Low Fat)

  • 3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard

  • ¼ cup white sugar

  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar

  • ¾ teaspoon celery seed

  • ½ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool.

  2. Stir eggs, celery, and peas together in a large bowl. Whisk low fat mayonnaise, yellow mustard, sugar, vinegar, celery seed, and salt in a separate bowl, dissolving the sugar. Pour dressing over vegetables and stir in macaroni until thoroughly coated with dressing. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

One-Bite Thai "Flavor Bomb" Salad Wraps (Miang Kham)

This is one of the most delicious, most exciting appetizers of all time. I've only had my mind blown a few times, but when I tried miang kham, that was one of those times. A savory, yet sweet sauce pulls together the intense, immense flavors that these salad bombs hold, and they're perfect for serving at parties.

Pouding Chomeur

Pouding Chomeur

Though it translates to 'unemployed man's pudding,' pouding chomeur isn't cheap to make. The good news is you don't really need to eat this more than a few times a year anyway. It's the perfect dessert to pair with summer fruit or vanilla ice cream. If you use a bigger baking dish than I did, and pour over all the maple cream syrup, your cake should float over a pool of what will eventually be your sauce. If you just use a deep pie dish like I did, then just serve the extra sauce on the side.

I was trying to do a simple, wild mushroom-studded sweet corn casserole to reinforce our holiday side dish repertoire, and before I knew it, I was eating the best, most flavorful cornbread dressing I'd ever tasted. Not only that, but we completely eliminated the step of having to make cornbread first!
