Simple extras to round out a meal, from cozy drinks and comforting sides to light, easy treats.
A light, sugar-free gelatin dessert with only about 10 calories per serving. It is an easy, guilt-free way to satisfy a sweet craving, and you can stir in protein powder for a more filling snack.
A warm, fragrant mulled apple cider gently simmered with cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, and star anise. It fills the house with a cozy autumn aroma and has about 75 calories per cup. Add a splash of brandy for the grown-ups if you like.
A rich, moist corn casserole made with Jiffy corn muffin mix, whole and cream-style corn, sour cream, and eggs. This classic comfort-food side bakes up golden and soft, somewhere between cornbread and corn pudding.
Strips of soft dough wound in a spiral around firm white cheese and fried until blistered and golden. The Venezuelan party pasapalo, served hot with garlic sauce.
A layered iced strawberry matcha latte with a homemade strawberry puree, whisked matcha, and cold milk. Looks like a sunset in a glass and takes about five minutes.
Chewy brown-sugar tapioca pearls in a creamy iced matcha latte. The whole thing takes about 20 minutes and tastes better than anything from a boba shop.
A clean, minimalist cup of matcha made the pique way — sun-dried crystallised matcha dissolved in cold or hot water for a bright, smooth, no-whisk drink in under a minute.
