Roast chicken for Sunday lunch is a tradition in many cultures. This Mexican version is gently spiced and makes a terrific meal. Pass the chips!

Seafood pasta is always a little luxurious—even on Wednesday night, and even when the pasta in question is ready in half an hour.

Our testers likened this to the magical, scrumptious offspring of a blondie and a classic PB&J. Sounds like heaven to us. And it kinda sounds like breakfast, too.

Chock full of vegetables and healthy protein, orzo salad will save your work lunches, on-the-go dinners, and leisurely brunches by the pool.

A classic that’s loved by nearly everybody. A chewy center and delicate flavor of vanilla give them an appeal beyond your everyday oatmeal biscuits. Perfect for sharing, too.

Crisp at the edges. Chewy within. Peanutty through and through. A classic perfected. Pass the milk, please.

The unexpected combination of cider vinegar and tarragon makes this classic French chicken dinner impressively spectacular.

Don’t try to rush this ham. It’s slow roasted in a maple glaze that imbues the porky deliciousness with cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg.

All the cream cheesy goodness of an individual Danish that you’ve come to love. But in pillowy bread form. Which makes it oh so easy to snitch just a smidgen more.

Juicy meatballs in a subtly spiced tomato sauce that comes together quickly thanks to your Instant Pot. Another weeknight saved!
