Pumpkin Butterscotch Pudding

Savor a warm spoonful of Pumpkin Butterscotch Pudding and get ready to be thankful. How can anything be so fragrant, creamy, and rich while being downright healthy, thrifty, and easy?

My notes say Pumpkin Butterscotch Pudding is "superb+" warm. But the delightful fragrance and taste fades as it chills. It's good at room temperature, OK straight from the fridge, and bland made into ice cream. Lesson? Get it while it's hot.

Grown-Up Mustard Greens

Leave mild spinach to Popeye and the kids. Sometimes you just want food with a jolt that engages all your senses. Grown-Up Mustard Greens do the trick. Mustard greens come with a built-in whiff of horseradish. Some recipes tame them by boiling and draining. Here we cook them with onion, garlic, and jalapeño, then steam until tender but still springy-chewy.

Serve Grown-Up Mustard Greens as a side dish, stuffed in a burrito with refried beans, or layered thickly on toasted bread with a schmear of ricotta for an unusual and thrilling sandwich. (Thanks to Toast in Durham for the sandwich inspiration.)
