And, on the eighth day, there was gianduia (zhahn-doo-yah). Namely, hazelnuts harmoniously cozying up to chocolate. Aka Nutella. And the world has been a more glorious place ever since.

This spicy tomato soup gets its heat from Thai Sriracha sauce and depth from blue cheese. San Marzano tomatoes are used, so the soup can be made anytime.

Perhaps the simplest way ever to gussy up a piece of plain fish, a bland chicken breast, even out-of-season veggies.

Toss together everything for dinner on a single sheet pan and shove it in the oven while you tend to other things that need to get done. You're welcome.

Every bit as boozy and as brilliant as it sounds. Inspired by the old-fashioned rum cake made in the Caribbean with dark rum in all its magnificently spiced glory.

Quick, easy, healthful, spectacular in terms of taste, and exactly what you need these last couple of Fridays before Easter.

Whoever created this classic American casserole knew a thing or two. Layers of chicken, roasted peppers, and tortillas smothered in cheese. Gobsmackingly delicious.

So magnificently and outrageously incredible that folks have literally applauded it at the dinner table. Swear. Easy enough for weeknights. Elegant enough for impressing guests.

This crazy satisfying, ridiculously cheap, pantry-minded dinner consists of just pasta, cheese, oil, salt, pepper, and a nifty technique.

Making your own pumpkin pie spice is as easy as dumping some spices you probably already have, into a bowl and stirring them together. No need to run to the store. You're welcome.

"Your family will think you are AMAZING." "A straightforward, real deal Cajun gumbo that everyone loved." "Easy and affordable." "A keeper!" That's what we're hearing about this.

Blue as the blue lagoon, this conversation-starting cocktail tastes as stunning as it looks. Blue margarita magic.

These wee biscuits are spectacular just with a smidgen of butter, but slap some ham or turkey on them and woah.

Sweetly salty. Crunchy tender. Unexpectedly familiar. Simply complex. We confess, we're dumbstruck by these little contradictory lovelies.

One of our trusty tactics for disguising Halloween candy so it turns into something new and eminently shareable.

This pork loin, with its fennel and garlic rub and apples and onions roasted on the same sheet pan, is about to become your new favorite supper salvation.

Pancakes are swell, but breakfast doesn't have an exclusive on maple syrup. Especially not when this maple roast chicken is in the house.

Pucker up, cuz you're going to want to sip the bejeebers out of this ridiculously easy, sweetly tart lemonade. Wowza.

All’Amatriciana—go on, roll that "r" like they do in Italy—means a spicy pasta sauce of tomatoes and pancetta or bacon. Prego.

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.
