Maple-Glazed Roasted Carrots with Ginger

Whole-roasted carrots are an effortlessly glam side, perfect with ham. But the real genius here is the matchstick-sliced ginger that bakes with them. Candied in the glaze, it's a chewy, intensely gingery topping you'll be pinching right off the pan.Maple-Glazed Roasted Carrots with Ginger

Malted Strawberry Cream Puffs

The malted whipped cream in these fruity cream puffs is a revelation--make it alone to top pies, sundaes or hot cocoa, and be sure to lick the beaters!Malted Strawberry Cream Puffs

Candied Lemon Pound Cake

This moist, buttery pound cake has a triple threat of lemon: Chopped candied peel speckles the interior, and thin strips dance along the top, over a sheen of puckery lemon icing. The recipe comes from Nathaniel Reid Bakery in St. Louis.Candied Lemon Pound Cake

Carrot Tart with Goat Cheese, Lemon and Mint

Since no one wants the soggy middle piece of a square tart, we cut a sheet of puff pastry in half to make two small ones: crisp edges for everyone! Eat as a meal with a salad or slice into petite wedges for a grab-and-go party app.Carrot Tart with Goat Cheese, Lemon and Mint

Earl Grey and Raspberry Pound Cake

No food coloring here--just the brilliant hue of pureed raspberries. Fresh berries also ripple through the cake, which has subtle floral and citrus notes from tea in the batter. The recipe comes from Nathaniel Reid Bakery in St. Louis.Earl Grey and Raspberry Pound Cake

No doubt, this is a chocolate-lover's cake, richly flavored and crusted on the outside with a coating of mini chips and a dusting of cocoa powder. The recipe comes from Nathaniel Reid Bakery in St. Louis.Double Chocolate Pound Cake

Carrot Soup with Tarragon and Cream

Thickened with a little potato and flavored with leeks, shallot, white wine and the faintly anise-y herb tarragon, this sleeper hit of a soup is subtle, springy and unexpectedly special.Carrot Soup with Tarragon and Cream

Flank Steak with Carrot Top Salsa Verde

Italian salsa verde-no relation to the Mexican one-is a classic herb sauce made with parsley, garlic and capers. Our version includes carrot tops, too. The bold, tangy flavor is a perfect match for steak (or any protein or roasted vegetable).Flank Steak with Carrot Top Salsa Verde

Spring Salad with Lemon-Thyme Dressing

At Dante in Omaha, chef Nick Strawhecker serves a deceptively simple house salad that's all about letting good-quality greens shine. Finely grated cheese and chopped nuts add salt and crunch. It's perfect for spring and fall, when local lettuce is available.Spring Salad with Lemon-Thyme Dressing

Salmon Grain Bowl with Carrot-Miso Dressing

Sit down on a Wednesday to a bowl of hearty whole-grain farro, seared salmon, and fresh spinach, cucumber and radish. The carrot-flecked dressing riffs off one that's a standby at Japanese restaurants.Salmon Grain Bowl with Carrot-Miso Dressing

Hazelnut and Milk Chocolate Pound Cake

Under the candy-bar coating of chocolate and nuts, this cake from Nathaniel Reid Bakery in St. Louis is flavored with ground hazelnuts and hazelnut butter (easily made in a food processor in one step), plus a whisper of orange and lemon zest. Note: If you don't have a food processor, make the cake with toasted almond flour and almond butter instead.Hazelnut and Milk Chocolate Pound Cake

Peas 'n' Carrots Salad with Buttermilk Ranch

Bright with lemon and dill, the blanched carrots and snap peas get "dipped" in the pool of creamy dressing underneath when you spoon up a helping--a playfully pretty twist on two nostalgic carrot classics.Peas 'n' Carrots Salad with Buttermilk Ranch
