Recipe: Creamy Spinach and Dill — Recipes from The Kitchn

Classic creamed spinach is good in the same way that mashed potatoes or mac and cheese is — it's usually all cream and flour, with the spinach adding only color. This is a different dish, and that's why I call it creamy (not creamed) spinach.

The cream's function here is to mingle with the garlic and nutmeg, adding just enough richness to elevate things above straight-up sautéed spinach. And the dill stands as a green, too, combining with the spinach to make something like spanakopita in a bowl.

Recipe: Asparagus Bacon Pasta — Recipes from The Kitchn

My daughter Sadie and I went to Italy during the time I was writing Eating with the Ground Up, and although the trip was all pleasure and no work I couldn't help but scribble notes down in my little book when a vegetable had been prepared well.

Sadie ended up doing the same — often at the end of the day we'd compare notes, trying to figure out exactly what had made that particular cream sauce or pizza so mind-blowing. We both agreed that this dish of asparagus bacon pasta needed to be recorded and reproduced.

Recipe: Gingery Poached Egg Soup — Lunch Recipes from The Kitchn

Poached eggs show up on eggs benedict, frisée salads, and noodle bowls, but one of my favorite ways to eat them are in a bowl of steaming hot broth. There's something soothing and comforting about breaking open a yolk and watching it meld into the savory soup underneath, and I love how the whites soak in some of the soup too.

When I need a super-quick lunch that has some protein and a good dose of greens, this is my go-to. In under 15 minutes, you can make this ginger- and garlic-infused soup that's full of greens and eggs that are poached right into the soup. It's warming and satisfying yet won't weigh you down. Plus, most of the ingredients are pantry or refrigerator staples.
