A refreshing finish to dinner, or just to cleanse your palate, this sparkling sorbet is easy and utterly delish.

Watermelon might be a surprising twist, but a welcome one. Our testers loved the cool, sweet, and savory combination. We think you will too.

A terrifically easy (and, yes, slightly healthy) pizza that'll satisfy your craving in no time, whether on a hectic weeknight or a lazy weekend.

Take advantage of the freshest, most tender spring stalks au naturel. Uncooked, lightly dressed with lemony yogurt, and very little else. Spring has sprung, indeed.

A remarkable rustic loaf that's cheese inflected and crusty yet tender and contains a little whole wheat flour (so it's healthy!). Your sandwiches are gonna thank you.

A different spin on waffles, these breakfast beauties from King Arthur Flour make an outstanding nosh thanks to the addition of cornmeal. Perfect with fried chicken, too.

Satiating and healthy-ish, this salad is a vibrant and quick dinner. No peeling required. Just a little chopping and cooking.

A grain bowl that stands out from the rest thanks to the addition of warm spices to the bulgur and a sweetly tart blood orange vinaigrette. Healthy at its most enticing.

A quick bread that pretty much captures the essence of autumn with a sigh-inducingly, knee-wobblingly inviting aroma and compelling blend of sweet spices. Idyllic? Heck yeah.

The kid classic goes glam here with brown butter and sea salt. Sorta like your four-year-old trying on your heels and pearls...but with a heck of a lot more grace.

Because some things don't change. Including the lure of old-fashioned, uncomplicated, chewy chocolate chip cookies with crisp edges and soft centers.

Sensual. Sumptuousity. Sexy. Just a few of the lovely words we’re hearing in conjunction with this stunner of a summer supper. Can't quite be described. Just experienced.

Incredibly elegant and delicious and versatile and easy to make. Chalk it up as a success.

Tart and sweet, silken and crumbly, these easy lemon bars have a sweet cookie crust, a tart lemon filling, and a dusting of confectioners' sugar. A classic, perfected.
