Dijon Crusted Rack of Lamb With Garlicky Green Beans
We were really excited to brainstorm some new ideas for Hanukkah dinner and try to put a fresh, exciting spin on a traditional menu. If you know Nana, you know that our holiday mains have typically been some type of red meat. Instead of the usual brisket recipe, we present you with these mustardy, Parmesan…

Bucatini Carbonara
During a recent trip to Minneapolis, we had dinner at Martina and ate one of the most delicious dishes: Bucatini Carbonara. Bucatini has been a long time favorite pasta and having it Carbonara style was a first for us and a huge treat. For those unfamiliar, bucatini is a long, spaghetti-shaped pasta with a hole in the…

Homemade Caesar Salad
Caesar Salad is one of those recipes that takes 5 minutes to buy bagged from the grocery store and maybe 20 minutes to make completely from scratch. If it’s a Wednesday night and traffic stinks and you’re already running late, go with option A. But if you have some time and want to expand your…

Detox Bowls
After a long weekend of carb overload, it’s time to get the week back on track. We love a good “bowl” recipe at Tuck & Tate. We often find tasty flavor profiles and use what we have in the house to make it a weeknight dinner or lunch to take to work. This recipe is…

Thanksgiving Hangover Leftover Breakfast Sandwiches

They give your house that fresh-baked smell that instantly welcomes guests into your home. You can make these biscuits a few days in advance of Thanksgiving to…

Cranberry & Chickpea Stuffed Delicata Squash
Not sure about you, but we can’t be the only people on Thanksgiving that wish there was just one healthy or crunchy item on the table. Don’t get us wrong, we are HERE for the mashed potatoes and stuffing, but just one little thing to help balance out the decadence goes a long way. We…

Cast Iron Green Bean & Mushroom Casserole
This dish has a bit of a history with Tuck’s mom and dad. Tuck’s mom had just finished culinary school and was admittedly a bit of a food snob at the time. It was going to be her first Thanksgiving with Tuck’s dad (this was before Tuck and before marriage) and he insisted on having…

Best Ever Mashed Potatoes
Nana has a few rules when it comes to Thanksgiving and one is that mashed potatoes should never be healthy. While we do love a good cauliflower mash and finding ways to make our favorite foods healthier, Thanksgiving is not the time that we mess with a classic. The recipe below calls for butter, milk…
