October 8, 2026

This is one of my favorite recipes when in need of an elegant and tasty treat. This cake is unbelievably moist with a light floral and fruity flavor thanks to the olive oil. I love pairing flavors such as lemon or orange with this cake to enhance the taste of the olive oil.

Browned Butter Mushroom & Thyme Cream Pasta

A rich, silky pasta with browned butter, sautéed mushrooms, fresh thyme, garlic, and just enough lemon to brighten the sauce. The creamy béchamel-style sauce comes together entirely in the skillet, then the pasta is finished right in the pan so every strand of pappardelle is coated.

German Pancakes with Warm Berry Compote

There’s something wonderfully simple about a plate of homemade German pancakes. They’re thin, tender, and lightly crisp around the edges, less fluffy than an American pancake and perfect for stacking, folding, or topping with whatever you have on hand. For this version, we’re keeping things classic: a simple, lightly sweetened pancake cooked in butter on the Lancaster No. 8 Griddle, then topped with a warm berry compote made with fresh lemon and a touch of vanilla.

Classic Cherry Skillet Pie with Red Wine

This is a classic cherry pie at heart: a buttery, flaky crust, plenty of juicy cherries, and a sweet-tart filling that bubbles into the crust as it bakes. The little twist is a splash of red wine in the filling, it doesn't overpower the cherries, but adds a subtle richness and brings out their deeper, almost jammy flavor. Baked in cast iron, the crust turns beautifully golden and crisp while the filling bubbles around the edges.

Classic Stuffed Peppers

Stuffed peppers are one of those timeless dinners that never really need reinventing. Sweet bell peppers are filled with a hearty mixture of browned beef, tender rice, tomato, onion, and herbs, then baked until the peppers are perfectly tender and the cheese on top is melted and golden. Cooking them in cast iron gives the tomato sauce and beef filling beautifully caramelized edges and makes this an easy, comforting meal to bring straight from the oven to the table.

Apple Cider Glazed Brussels Sprouts

This is one of those recipes that makes Brussels sprouts feel like something you actually look forward to eating. The sprouts get beautifully browned and crispy, then tossed in a sweet-tart apple cider glaze that soaks into all those little crispy edges.

Maple Glazed Carrots

There’s something about carrots cooked in cast iron that makes a simple side dish feel a little more special. They get tender in the middle, pick up a little color around the edges, and the maple glaze turns glossy and caramelized without making them overly sweet. This is an easy one to throw together for a weeknight dinner, but it’s just as good next to a roast chicken or sitting on the holiday table.
