  1. Dinner tonight! Croque-madame

    La Dijonaise's take on this classic French comfort food sandwich is rich b&eacute;chamel sauce and ham between two slices of pullman bread, topped with cheese that's melted to gooey perfection. On top of that goes a fried egg (this is what distinguishes the "madame" from the "monsieur").&nbsp;<a href="http://www.latimes.com/features/food/la-fo-sos2-20100318,0,6237197.story" target="_blank">Yes, it's unapologetic goodness on a plate.</a>

  2. Dinner tonight! Tuscan kale salad with grilled carrots

    Because of their rather tough texture, greens such as kale are often cooked to tenderize them before serving. But gently rubbing a bright vinaigrette onto the cut greens also works to soften their texture, making for a wonderfully fresh salad with crisp, assertive notes. Top it with a few grilled baby carrots for an extra touch of color and you have a finished dish in under 30 minutes.&nbsp;

  3. Dinner tonight! Sauteed chicken with red wine vinegar sauce

    The secret to this crisp but succulent chicken? High heat. After sauteing the chicken briefly in a large skillet, the chicken -- skillet and all -- is placed a 500-degree oven. Finish the dish with a pan sauce made from the drippings. A little red wine and red wine vinegar bring depth and a nice sharpness to the sauce. It's dinner in under an hour.

  4. Dinner tonight! Italian-sausage-and-kale gratin

    Aromatic vegetables suspended in a rich sauce, maybe a little melted cheese, all of it hidden under a crisp golden brown crust. Behold the glory that is the gratin. One of the oldest dishes in the comfort-food playbook, the gratin is a celebration of lush creaminess and crisp crust that is often based on the simplest of ingredients.

  5. Culinary SOS: Market Garden Brewery's sweet potato pie

    Los Angeles Times
    Dear SOS: A while ago, on a visit to Cleveland, our son took us to eat and drink at the Market Garden Brewery. I believe it is near the interesting Garden Market on the near west side of Cleveland. I ordered the sweet potato pie. It was out of this world!...

  6. Dinner tonight! Caesar salad

    Rich and creamy Caesar dressing, crunchy lettuce, fried capers, crisp croutons, shredded parmesan and a little lemon vinaigrette. That's how <a href="http://www.latimes.com/features/food/la-fo-sos-caesarsalad-20101021,0,4139250,full.story" target="_blank">Michael Mina does Caesar</a> at American Fish at Aria in Las Vegas. Sure, the recipe calls for more than a few ingredients, but it can be assembled from start to finish in about an hour. And I must warn you: Try this once and you may want to fix it again another night this week.

  7. Dinner tonight! Sizzling shrimp with garlic and hot pepper

    Dinner doesn't get much simpler than a nice helping of sizzling shrimp with a touch of garlic and a sprinkling of hot pepper, and it comes together in less than half an hour. That's just enough time to slice a baguette (to soak up all those amazing juices) and pour a couple of glasses of wine before you settle in for the evening.

  8. Dinner tonight! Chicken, chorizo and green chile hash

    When you're looking for a dinner idea with a little more substance, but still want to put food on the table fast, you can't go wrong with hash. It's one-pan comfort food -- simple and no fuss. For this recipe, take that leftover chicken in the fridge (or pick up a rotisserie chicken from the store on your way home) and cook it up with some cubed potatoes, crumbled chorizo, roasted green chiles and&nbsp; and you can put dinner on the table in less than an hour.

  9. Dinner tonight! Grilled blue cheese and pear sandwich

    For a slight twist on a classic comfort food, wedge crumbled blue cheese between slices of raisin brioche, along with thinly sliced pear. Cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is soft and oozing, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. If you have enough self-restraint to keep from eating the sandwich over the stove (I totally understand if you don't), plate your creation, drizzled with a little chestnut honey. Grilled cheese never looked so good.

  12. Dinner tonight! Warszawa's cold borscht

    <a href="http://www.warszawarestaurant.com/" target="_blank">Warszawa</a> is a wonderfully homey little restaurant that has been quietly serving amazingly sophisticated Polish food in Santa Monica for more than three decades. It may be most famous for its roast duck and pirogi (and its terrific collection of Polish vodkas), but this borscht is simply unbelievable. The layering of flavors &mdash; sweet beets, fresh dill, green onions, tangy buttermilk &mdash; makes it one of the best any of us has ever tasted, and one of our Top 10 recipes of 2010.
