Does the true beauty of this cake lie in its stunning silhouette? Its intensely chocolatey chocolatiness? Or its lazy-day ease? You tell us.

More tart than sweet is what you'll find this perfectly puckery little limeade to be. And that's exactly the way it was always intended to be.

Get out your go-go boots, halter tops, and cocktail umbrellas. The '60s are back. In a big way. And they're groovier than ever.

Bread. Cheese. Egg. Hot sauce. Five bucks says you've got the makings for this easy and oozy sandwich waiting in your kitchen.

Honest grub with demolish-the-entire-panful-while-standing-at-the-counter allure. Grab some napkins.

"So satisfying." "Cakey and chocolatey." "Everything a brownie should be." That's what folks are saying about this crowd-pleaser of a chocolate fix.

An obscenely easy, sweetly tart rhubarb crisp that you simply must experience at least once. (Although we doubt you'll be able to stop at just once.)

These oatmeal cookies are like the baking version of those Choose Your Own Adventure books, which means your cookies end up exactly the way you like them.

Quiche for one? It sounds a lot more ambitious than it actually is. It's truly a cinch to make. So go on. Love yourself a little. Or a lot.

A classic. And it's even better than we remembered. And we mean that in the best possible way, moms.

A better way to start your day. Uh, we mean, end your day. That's what we meant. Yes. End it. Ahem.

Green beans? Check. Creamy mushroomy sauce? Check. Can opener? Uh...no thank you. Not this time.

We could blather on and on about this surprising (and stealthy healthy) riff on a Southern classic that everyone is swearing is the best cornbread they've ever had.

We got nothing against the Larabars we've been noshing for years. Save for the crazy price tag. Here's a less expensive, more customizable alternative.

What's easy peasy to make, lovely to look at, even lovelier to taste, and certain to impress? This cake.

An impressive impromptu dinner that's done in less than 30 minutes and a cinch to clean up. You're welcome.

All the scintillating, fall-off-the-bone magnificence of smoked ribs. None of the standing outside in the snow or sleet to tend your grill or smoker.

Wanna know how to stretch a single steak into supper for four without seeming skimpy? Your answer awaits.

Eggs in hell? It's an edible incarnation of Dante's inferno. Don't worry, it's far more fetching than that old grump would have you believe.

This won't bring you the satisfaction of a proper preserving project that'll last the year. But it will bring you instant gratification.
