A list of all the recipes Linda M. has tested.
Challah Bread
Rich, slightly sweet, and chewy in the best way, this Jewish challah is a stunner. Perfect for shabbat and Rosh Hashanah.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Crisps
Crisp as a cracker. Less sweet than a cookie. And certain to be safe from the kids as they have a distinct adult dark chocolate allure.
Brownies with Marshmallow Topping
These sassy brownies lack nothing in terms of the classic s’more and come together any time you have a craving. No campfire required.
Egg Salad Without Mayo
Don’t let those leftover Easter eggs go to waste. This easy egg salad with caramelized onions is so lovely, you won’t even notice that there’s no mayo.
Cinnamon Toast Bars
Just like cinnamon toast. Except better. Your kids will worship you. So will your inner kid.
Bucatini all’Amatriciana
All’Amatriciana—go on, roll that “r” like they do in Italy—means a spicy pasta sauce of tomatoes and pancetta or bacon. Prego.
Cherry Tomato Tart
Got a ton of cherry tomatoes and a craving for a creamy, cheesy, gorgeous summer tart? Lucky for you, we have the perfect solution.
Cheddar Biscuits
“Lovely.” “Perfectly light, fluffy, and irresistibly good.” “Easy peasy!” “Wow. Just wow.” That’s what folks are saying about these biscuits.

We just can’t get enough of this peachy, simple, skewer-y, summer salad of sorts that comes together in far less than an hour. Prep, grill, toss. You’re done.
Smoked Spare Ribs
Authentic barbecue joint flavor from your own backyard. No smoker required. Actually, no smoking experience required, either.
Homemade Lemonade
Pucker up, cuz you’re going to want to sip the bejeebers out of this ridiculously easy, sweetly tart lemonade. Wowza.
Chocolate-Covered Potato Chips
Next time someone asks you to bring chips and dip, bring these. You just did the dipping at home. We swear you’ll hear no complaints.
How To Grill Fish
Scared of fish? We understand. And actually, it’s not the fish that scares most folks, it’s not knowing how to cook said fish. Banish fears with these foolproof fixes.
Cosmopolitan
If ever a drink symbolized an era, the bright pink, citric Cosmopolitan SCREAMS the 1990s and then into the present.

Lemon Horseradish Butter
Slather, schmear, and otherwise anoint all manner of things with this nifty flavored butter. Mmmm. Butter.
Maple Pork Chops
Expect a subtle sweetness from this pork chop sensation that comes together from pantry standbys. We suspect that, like us, you’re gonna wanna add it to your weeknight rotation.
