Keep chugging along with those soups and casseroles, but throw in these four fun foods this month, too.

An Irish souffle. Who says you need to make soda bread on St. Patrick's Day? This collection of Irish comfort food recipes features shamrock soup, a seafood bisque, apple and chive flower salad and other "who knew?" dishes. (Traditionalists, relax: There are also recipes for tried-and-true dishes like shepherd's pie and fish and chips.)

Oreos. The iconic cookie turns 100 years old this month, and while we're loving all the tributes, from using the treat to illustrate the phases of the moon, to a taste test of the real deal versus a homemade "Fauxreo," Ina Garten's recipe for Outrageous Oreo Crunch Bars is at the top of our must-make list.




Homemade pizza. What's holding you back from making perfectly crunchy pies in your own kitchen? Don't let the prospect of endless rounds of kneading dough and letting it rise stop you. Master baker Jim Lahey's new book My Pizza has a foolproof, no-knead method that'll have you turning out crisp yet chewy, slightly charred-around-the-edges pizzas in no time.
