This easy meal of tender bucatini pasta all tangled up with sautéed shrimp and a lemony garlic butter sauce is on the table in just 30 minutes. You're welcome.

Why should you have to choose between chocolate and Oreo ice cream when they taste so magnificent together?

This mixed berry snacking cake comes together in one bowl and couldn't be easier. We've already committed the recipe to memory.

If you're a peanut butter cup lover (and really, who isn't?), then this is the dessert of your dreams. Creamy peanut butter filling is encapsulated by a milk chocolate shell. Enough said.

This pretty cake is so simple to make and so darn delicious that we see no point in waiting until dessert to enjoy it. Bring on breakfast.

Buttery, cinnamon and orange flavored, and rolled in sugar, these fluffy buns are a serious reason to get out of bed. Get ready to fall in love!

Often the first sauce we think of when we think of pasta--Bolognese is a rich, meaty, tomatoey sauce that is as comforting as it is satiating.

Who says Brussels sprouts aren't comfort food? When roasted with potatoes and pancetta, nearly anything becomes a comfort, we say.

This dip is creamy for sure, but it's really all about the dill. Loads of fresh, green, herby dill. As much as we love potato chips, try it on everything.

An easy toss-it-in-the-oven-and-forget-about-it sorta dish that’s still gonna make everyone ooh and aah at the dinner table for its tender, wine-imbued spectacularness.

Pumpkin pie. Cheesecake. And no, that’s not a choice you have to make. You get both. You’re welcome. (New Thanksgiving tradition, anyone?)

Those days when meal planning goes south and weeknight weariness looms, simple salvation can be found in this easy skillet lasagna made with store-bought ravioli.

Bun cha. In true Vietnamese fashion, it's an enticing collision of tastes (sour and smokey and sweet), temperatures, and textures. And it's gonna leave you wanting more.

This unique spud salad is full of pleasant surprises and is gonna upend your notion of how things—or at least potato salad—ought to be.

Quite possibly the best mingling of blueberries, lemon, mascarpone cheese, and pastry to ever grace a dessert table. We swear it's going to make you a legend among friends.

Crisp at the edges, chewy in the center, and (sorta) wholesome through and through, these are a revelatory riff on the classic.

No need to ever reach for that boxed or bagged popcorn. And the recipe itself is better than any Cracker Jack prize.

Taco meets casserole in this clever and crowd-pleasing approach to perfectly seasoned tacos.

An easy weeknight meal that's an unassuming melding of red lentils, harissa, sautéed onions, and garlicky tahini sauce that can only be described as magical. (Yes, lentils can be magic.)

Eggplant, celery, fennel, zucchini, onion, tomatoes, olives, raisins, and pine nuts, oh my! Sicilian heaven in the form of a pleasingly tart side dish of sorts.
