Meatballs are meatballs, right? Not even close. These little babies take ground turkey and make it taste like a healthier, umami-packed heaven.

That's right—we made the famous TikTok tomato and feta pasta and adapted it to include shrimp because that's how we roll. And it's just as good as everyone says it is.

A staple of Syrian snacking, moutabal is smoky and richly flavored. Spread it on everything that needs a pick-me-up of the delicious kind—you'll never have a boring lunch again.

Easy, healthy, and perfectly spiced, these creamy lentils are simple to whip up at a moment's notice. Lucky you.

We like this recipe because it’s both kid-friendly and kid-chef-friendly. But it doesn’t taste like it, we promise...even the adults will clamor for more. Did we mention barely any cleanup?

Kid-friendly. Quick. Easy. Healthy as can be. Vegetarian. And tastes delish. What's not to love?!

An Italian tradition that, in true form, transforms simple ingredients into something sublime.

The holidays incarnate. That's what these cookies are to us. They're magnificently and traditionally spiced and are crinkly and chewy. All in the best possible sort of way.

When it's Thanksgiving for just a few of you, your response is game hens with a sweetly tart and pleasingly peppery glaze and a lovely little pine nut bread stuffing. Makes just enough.

Got a mere 20 minutes? If so, you've got all it takes to merge the vibrant sweetness of mango with all the indulgence of gelato. 

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

This simple supper recipe requires only that you rub some spices on a hunk of pork, shove it in the oven, and not forget about it.

No matter how much soggy steamed zucchini you were forced to choke down as a child, you won't turn away this moist zucchini cake that tastes just like grandma used to make.

Inspired by the tropics, this simple single-layer cake is quick and easy yet lacks nothing in terms of satisfying richness.

Creamy, cheesy, and just like Grandma used to make. That's what we're talking about when it comes to these easy scalloped potatoes.

Cook once. Eat twice. This baked pasta casserole cleverly relies on a big batch of tomato soup as its sauce. Leftover soup means you have lunches done for the rest of the week.

Hearty and satisfying and reheats beautifully. Our sorta winter dinner, office lunch, afternoon nosh, and midnight snack.

A breakfast classic. And rightfully so. Tasting is understanding.

You read that correctly. Pork wrapped in bacon. Need we say more?

This gingerbread Bundt cake has all the warm spicy goodness of gingerbread cookies. And, as if that wasn't enough, it's gilded with a sassy sweet-tart citrus glaze.
