Tacos may not seem like the kind of food that you should assemble an hour before eating, which is why I've never thought of them as a particularly good potluck dish. But that's because, until recently, I'd never encountered tacos de canasta, a special variety of taco sold by bicycle vendors in Mexico that are made in advance and get better as they sit. This is the potluck taco you've been waiting for.

This recipe combines everything we love in banana bread—its mellow flavor, gentle spice, and nutty crunch—into a tender yet crisp granola that's loaded with dried fruits, whole grains, crunchy seeds, and macadamia nuts. It's perfect over a bowl of yogurt for breakfast, but it's a bang-up topping for ice cream and banana pudding as well.

With a little patience and the help of a food processor, it's possible for 100% whole wheat bread to bake up as fluffy, light, and chewy as a classic white loaf, but with all the nuttiness, flavor, and virtue of whole grains. The key is patience and power, with an autolyse to hydrate the flour before kneading in a food processor. This powerful tool makes short work of the dough, allowing for rapid and intensive gluten development in 75 seconds flat.

Chocolate-Caramel Monkey Bread has a gooey chocolate caramel candy melted in every bite. It's loaded with both chocolate and caramel plus a few pecans for some crunch. You won't find a sweeter, more dessert-like Monkey Bread than this one. It's a tradition for us to have Monkey Bread every Christmas morning. We nibble at it while we open presents and it is filling enough to tide us over to our Christmas dinner. Along with some candy from the Christmas stockings. :) My go-to basic Monkey Bread recipe is THIS ONE and I love this Bacon Maple Monkey Bread.

Be honest. How often do you actually use your Bundt pan? It certainly turns out beautiful cakes, but you can't eat dessert all the time. Luckily, just like your Instant Pot and stand mixer, Bundt pans are good for more than one thing—so break yours out, dust it off, and put it to work more often.

We all love to start our day with a steaming, aromatic cup of Joe, right? And every dedicated home barista has his or her preferred method of brewing.

Here's how to make it perfectly every time.

Cold and briny, with the fresh, salty-air scent of the ocean, oysters are the only animals commonly consumed live in the Western world.

Toasting sugar in a low oven allows it to slowly caramelize without sacrificing its crystalline structure. The result is a sort of "granulated caramel" that can be used in any recipe as a one-to-one substitution for plain sugar. A mere hour of toasting will dramatically tame the sugar's sweetness, while extended periods of time will build a more intense caramel flavor. This technique works best with large batches of sugar; for smaller batches, check out our guide to quick toasted sugar. Whatever the case, play around and find out what style works best for you.

Just as there are great burgers and bad ones, not all indoor pulled pork is created equal. My goal with this recipe was to come up with a technique to produce pulled pork that shreds into large, tender chunks that are moist but not wet, with a flavor that balances sweet molasses, bright vinegar, heat, and just a hint of smoke. Oh, and I wanted it to be darn easy to boot.

Tamale pie is a dish that screams for an update. I mean, it's cornbread and chili all rolled into one! Just imagine how great it could be if we took the time to make a real, deeply flavored, meaty chili from scratch, eschewing the dump-and-stir approach and instead building up layers of spices and aromatics. Now imagine that chili topped with tender, moist, crisp-edged, buttery cornbread with those chili juices seeping up into it as it bakes in the oven. That's the kind of meal I'd love to come home to after a long day out in the cold. Wouldn't you?

These savory one-bowl biscuits are as easy as they are cheesy, which is to say: very. Best of all, the dry mix can be prepped in advance and refrigerated until the expiration date stamped on the package of cheese, so you can keep a bag on hand to bake whenever you need an easy side for a batch of chili or lobster bisque. Don't be afraid to tinker with the garlic and spice ratios listed below: their intensity will vary by age and brand of the ingredients you have on hand.
