Cucumbers with Scallions and Chili Oil
Why waste time with a knife? A simple whack to a cucumber yields jagged surfaces eager to soak up this tangy dressing.
Fennel-Honey Granola
What you really want to do with this granola is make the be-all, end-all of yogurt parfaits.
Sweet and Tangy Roasted Tomatoes
These tomatoes are doused in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire, and garlic before going into the oven. The results are melt-in-your-mouth tomatoes with flavors reminiscent of homemade ketchup. Use it in Charred Romaine Greek Salad With Quinoa-Crusted Feta .
Garlic and Herb Spatchcock Grilled Chicken
Spatchcocking (or splitting and flattening) this Italian-flavored chicken before grilling helps it cook more quickly and evenly.
Grilled Maple-Butter Apricots with Vanilla Ice Cream
Step aside pancakes; butter and maple syrup is a combination worthy of the ripest grilled summer fruits. Can't find apricots? Try this recipe with peaches or plums for a fantastic ice cream topping.
Brown Sugar BBQ Pork Butt
You could bake this hunk of meat in an oven, but you'd be missing out on all that smoky flavor you'd be getting from the grill.
Foil Pack Potatoes With Rosemary and Garlic
These potatoes steam away in the coals while you grill the rest of your meal. If you're not eating them right away, keep them in their foil pouches and rewarm them on the grill or in a 350°F oven before serving.
Bo Ssäm Grilled Pork
Invite the gang to make their own lettuce wraps with fall-apart tender pork, rice, and pickled radishes and carrots.
Pok Pok-Style Hot Wings with Peanuts and Cilantro
Want crispy and delicious wings fast? Avoid the mess of frying oil and go for a quick oven-roast. Inspired by the version served by chef Andy Ricker at his Brooklyn and Portland Pok Pok restaurants, these wings get doused in a sweet and savory glaze and rolled in a spicy, crunchy topping.
Quinoa PB&J Cookies
This classic combination, in cookie form, is not to be missed. The texture of these cookies is similar to shortbread: crumbly, sandy, and fine. Serve them with a tall glass of cold milk for a walk down memory lane.
Fresh Raspberry-Quinoa Pancakes
These pancakes are lighter than those in your standard stack: slender and slightly crisp on the outside, light and lacy with assertive raspberry flavor. The raspberries are blended into the milk before being added to the batter—a solution to having pockmarks of berry flavor only here and there. You'll want a mile-high pile.
Spiced Chicken Stew with Carrots
We use a slow cooker with a browning option to crisp the chicken skin for this Moroccan-flavored dish. The stew is great on its own but couscous would be an easy and fitting side dish.
Lemon Herb Chicken Burgers with Thousand Island Dressing
There's really no other word for these burgers except: YUM. The flavoring and the satisfaction of a meal you can wrap your hands around is unmatched.
Chicken Nuggets with Mango and Avocado Salsa

Charred Romaine Greek Salad With Quinoa-Crusted Feta
I live in New York, where Greek salads are a reliable diner staple. I love the combination of briny Kalamata olives and salty feta cheese mixed with crisp romaine lettuce and refreshing cucumbers. This somewhat deconstructed, twenty-first century version applies the "warm goat cheese salad" method to a Greek salad, coating fresh feta slices in egg wash and quinoa and then pan-frying. The result is incredibly delicious—and as good as it looks in the picture!
Andouille-Stuffed Pork Loin with Creole Mustard
If you want to add great flavor to a pork loin, brine it. If you want to add super flavor to your pork loin, stuff it with your favorite Cajun-country sausage. This recipe is worth all the effort.
