Homemade Whole Wheat Bread
A standard loaf for beginner and experienced bakers alike, this whole wheat bread recipe turns out a superb product—tender crumb, chewy crust, and nutty flavor.
Chocolate Meringue Mousse Cake
A chocolate lover’s dream come true, in the form of a lightly textured, dark chocolate mousse. Not too sweet, not too rich—just right.
Orzo Salad with Grilled Vegetables
A light dinner for when you just can’t face the thought of heating up your kitchen in the summer. Just slice and grill your way to a sublimely citrusy, veggie-filled pasta salad.
Roasted Carrots with Dukkah
Carrots are blistered and then sprinkled with a deconstructed dukkah made of nigella, coriander, cumin, and fennel seeds along with a sprinkle of roasted hazelnuts and almonds. And it just happens to be healthy.
Pain au Fromage
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.
Easy Chicken Enchiladas
An uber-quick and less traditional approach to chicken enchiladas gets you a tasty dinner, weeknight or not. The secret? Your toaster oven.
Braised Carrots with Orange and Rosemary
Everyday carrots turn shyly sophisticated when infused with flavor and coaxed to tenderness in this no-hassle side dish.
Adobo Chicken
A sweet and vinegary, sesame and garlicky, oniony chicken dish that’s seriously irresistible. You’re gonna want to put this dish on repeat.
Lemon Pull-Apart Coffee Cake
“Absolutely the best thing I’ve put in my mouth in a long time!” That’s what we’re hearing about this buttery, citrusy, playfully easy-to-eat coffee cake. We’re not arguing with that sentiment.
