Roasted carrots are a crazy-simple side dish. There are a couple of things to remember to make them delicious: keep the oven hot enough to develop some caramelization; look for carrots that are consistent in size so they cook at the same rate; don’t worry about peeling them — a little scrub under running water does the trick. This recipe dresses the simple roasted carrots with a tasty sauce that’s tangy from vinegar and orange juice, with depth and sweetness from maple syrup.

My mother and I love making these empanadas together! We make a lot of different kinds of empanadas, but this sweet dessert is the perfect way to celebrate the apple season. The pastry is crunchy and flaky, the cinnamon sugar adds wonderful texture, and the frying process makes them absolutely decadent. People think they are a fancy food, but they are easy to make ahead, freeze, and then fry the day of a party. I like to serve them with small jars full of the bourbon whipped cream for dipping.

I love this dish because it feeds a good amount of people and is a meal that the entire family can enjoy! It can be made ahead of time, frozen, and then baked when the time is right. The combination of sweet, creamy corn and salty pancetta is delicious and comforting. The béchamel (white sauce) with corn acts as a layer and ties this entire lasagna together.
