Weeknight Winners®

Ever heard that little ditty, "Winner, winner, chicken dinner?" We like to think of it as "Winner, winner, chicken piccata dinner."

Soon to be known as "what's for dessert tonight" in your house, this old-fashioned dessert made from everyday ingredients takes its name from a simple glaze that makes the cake.

5 ingredients. 15 minutes. And dinner is done.

A chili that you can dress up or down, whether you need something really impressive for game day or relatively inexpensive for Tuesday night dinner.

Inspired by a stuffed baked potato, this stovetop mac and cheese is loaded with bacon, Cheddar, and sour cream. Indulgence, baby.

A little spicy, salty, and sweet and altogether satisfying. A weeknight salvation when you need dinner pronto but you want something that's not predictable or boring.

Linguine pasta, clams, mussels, langoustines, and shrimp are tossed in a light tomato-garlic sauce spiked with pepper flakes. A simple quick dinner.

An easy-peasy dinner of oven-roasted fish that's ready in less than an hour. Compound butter isn't just a fanciful addition—it bastes everything with incredible flavor.

These unconventional quesadillas are gooey with tangy goat cheese, salty tapanade, and earthy grilled radicchio. Equally impressive as an appetizer or solo supper.

This peas and eggs dish, so typical in Portuguese homes, especially in spring and Easter, is a cinch to make. Just sear the bacon, poach the eggs, and assemble. Oh, and eat.

Gala Apples. Walnuts. Parmesan. And mixed baby greens. It seems like a recipe for autumnal perfection, yes?

This rice pilaf with cherries and pistachios is a perfect side dish for poultry. The pistachios add a bit of crunch and the cherries add sweetness.

Steak marinated in a soy-ginger sauce is grilled, and wrapped with lettuce and peppers, before being wholly devoured. They're about as cool and fresh as you can get.

A simple seared fish fillet with a tart citrus lilt, this recipe comes together with ease even on the craziest of weeknights.

A riff on the classic sausage and broccoli rabe pairing, this mixes it up with a little more healthfulness and the intriguing shape of cavatelli (though to be honest, any pasta will do).

Jumble together pasta, tomatoes, eggplant, ooey gooey mozzarella, and a splash of cream in just 35 minutes. Jamie Oliver's quick pasta dinner also makes a mean casserole.

An elegant yet uncomplicated chicken dish that seems much fancier and fussier than it actually is when it comes to making it. Lucky you.

Dinner doesn't get any easier or more elegant than pasta tossed with butter, olive oil, Parmesan and pecorino Romano cheeses, and dusted with lots of black pepper.

A classic Thai trick for imparting a lot of oomph without a lot of ingredients or expense.
