Dairy Free

It’s fast, it’s easy, it’s totally repurposable. Making extra steak tonight means a stress-free dinner tomorrow, a little strategy we call nextovers.

This quick salmon dish, flavored with a garlicky za’atar dressing, proves that meals are better in bowl form. Add radishes, chickpeas, and arugula, then drizzle the dressing over it all.

If you can find it, try making this green sauce with hoja santa, a robust aromatic Mexican herb—if not, any hardy green will work (we call for kale).

What’s better than a griddled burger with the crispiest exterior? One that comes sandwiched between a vibrant tomatillo salsa and topped with a runny fried egg.

Cooked and raw brussels sprouts are matched with a rich umami dressing and a spicy nutty sauce in this surprising but winning taco.

Pickle brine lends a distinctive tang to the rice, giving the whole dish a nice, lively jolt. This recipe can work with any kind of pickling liquid, even the ordinary stuff from a jar of pickles or cornichons (we tested it with a few kinds). If brown rice isn’t your thing, use another grain: Try barley, farro, or freekeh.

We love the roasted sweet potatoes in this bowl, but any hardy vegetable would be just as delicious. Try delicata squash, cauliflower, or eggplant.

My fried rice axiom is this: always use a little more ginger than seems appropriate. This is especially true with this fried rice version, enriched with smoky pork and rich bites of sautéed mushrooms.

Shallow-fried scallops get extra crispy on the outside and super tender inside when double-dredged in an Old Bay–seasoned cornmeal mixture. Bonus: they’re gluten-free.

This nutrient-dense, gluten-free quick bread keeps for days and is a great vehicle for nut butters, dips, and spreads. Snacktime, solved.

This frittata intentionally takes much longer than the usual version. Cooked over a low flame, the act of folding the curds over themselves again and again in the skillet creates soft layers like those found in Japanese-style omelets.

You know the old saying: Sounds weird, tastes great! For real, though, you are going to love this super sippable, refreshing beverage.

A sweet and gingery soy sauce mixture is used to both braise and glaze skinless, boneless chicken thighs in this quick, kid-friendly dinner.

Cinnamon, ginger, and dates add spicy, bright, sweet dimension to this warming lamb stew.

Sweet potatoes and maple syrup add natural sweetness to these muffins—perfect for prepping for a week of breakfasts, dinners, or lunches.

This simple, large batch of seasoned rice can be frozen and repurposed in endless ways for easy, family-friendly meals.

Bone-in lamb shoulder chops turn meltingly tender and enrich the garlicky rosemary-infused broth in this Instant Pot dinner. Serve it with crusty bread for mopping up all of the juice.

Pancakes made with bananas and almond butter? Enough said. Four eggs may seem like a lot, but they’re what give these sweet, nutty pancakes a light, crepe-like texture.

For this gorgeous salad, choose persimmons that are super soft. The riper the fruit, the sweeter the flavor.

Radishes, contrastingly crunchy and peppery to tender and sweet pears, take rather well to modern pickling, the sort that is less about preserving and more about making something to shake other flavors from their shyness.
