My mom used to make hamburger gravy when I was a kid. Frequently, she made it with white gravy, which I didn’t like so much. But when she made it with brown gravy, I loved it. I don’t like it over noodles, though – it’s delicious over mashed potatoes.

Vogue magazine used to include recipes in its home entertaining articles. One of my favorites was a creamy dip I found in a piece about garden parties. Fresh herbs give this dip a delicate green color while garlic adds an assertive flavor. To slim down the original, which was made with heavy cream, my version of this refreshing dip uses low-fat cheeses and sour cream. I serve it with carrot sticks; red, yellow, and orange pepper strips; and cherry tomatoes.
Fast Fact: Dill is rich in antioxidant carotenoids.
Quick Tip: Use a sharp scissors to snip both chives and dill, rather than chopping them with a knife.
