Green Chili with Hominy and Buttermilk Corn Bread
This meatless green chili relies on canned fire-roasted chiles for its sauce, avoiding the work of roasting and peeling fresh ones. It can be prepared up to three days in advance. The accompanying moist corn bread can also be made a day ahead—cool it completely, wrap it tightly in foil, and keep it at room temperature.

Creamy Vegan Potato Soup with Crispy Peel Topping
This dairy-free soup turns russet potatoes into a cozy, chunky bowlful, using cashew milk and vegan sour cream for richness.

Creamy Cheddar Potato Bake With a Crispy Cornflake Topping
For potlucks, holidays, and just about any occasion where a warm casserole is welcome, this cheesy potato bake delivers. Rather than leaning on canned soup, the sauce is built from scratch with a butter-and-flour roux, milk, chicken bouillon, and a pinch of cayenne, then enriched with sour cream and plenty of sharp Cheddar. Testing fresh against frozen potatoes settled the question: fresh russets give the soft, sauce-soaking texture the dish needs, and a cornflake topping adds crunch.
