We love sandwiches because they’re easy and portable, customizable and delicious. While sandwiches have a long and storied history, the category is one of constant reinvention, from the bread choices to the condiments to the main fillings. Plus they’re the best friend leftovers ever had. Sandwiches can range from the […]
Boneless skinless chicken thighs are weeknight dinner MVPs. They’re easy to deal with, quick-cooking, and play nicely with a range of flavor profiles. For this recipe, they roast on a sheet pan with some onions while you pull together the rest of the meal – the dish comes […]
People are often stumped by what to do with ground turkey; it’s so lean, and it doesn’t lend itself quite as well to a burger or meatball treatment. But add a lot of spice and some fat (in the form of coconut milk) and ground turkey really rises to the […]
Here’s a simple recipe that works equally as well for lunch as it does for dinner. It’s also easily tweaked: Cook the salmon ahead and serve it cold over the cold noodles; add shredded cabbage or watercress to the noodles to get more veg into the meal; or use boneless […]
Mix it up on Taco Tuesday with this simple recipe for blackened cod tacos. Fish is a great candidate for “blackening, ” a technique for flavoring and cooking proteins in Cajun cooking. We skip the initial coating in butter to streamline the process a bit. Cooking on relatively high heat […]
Where would we be without capsicum? Fiery or warm, tingly or smoky, often fruity and a little bit sweet —the chili pepper genus is the botanical and culinary equivalent to a rock supergroup. Native to the Americas but found all over the world, cuisines globally would be nowhere near as […]
So there’s roasting, the technique, and then there are roasts, the cuts of meat named for the way they’re most commonly cooked. Roasts are larger cuts of meat that are too big to cook on the stove, and might be unwieldy on the grill. They’re happiest in the oven, whether […]
A pork loin roast can be cooked in a low, medium, or high-heat oven until it hits 145°F. As in all oven-roasted meat recipes, the pork benefits from being seasoned ahead of time. In addition to a generous rub of salt on the roast, the optional seasonings are limitless—try a […]
Bone-in pork chops are one of our favorite cuts of meat to cook for dinner on a weeknight. They’re quick cooking yet incredibly satisfying, and they play nice with basically any flavor profile you want to throw at them.

Pork butt (from the shoulder, not the rear-end) is one of our favorite large cuts of meat to roast because it’s delicious, versatile, and one of the all-time crowd-pleasing MVPs. Because pork butt is marbled with both fat and connective tissue, it needs a long, slow roast in order to […]
Boneless, skinless chicken thighs should be in every home cook’s arsenal. Quick-cooking and full of flavor, they’re equally great on the grill or as an ingredient in a soup as they are roasted in the oven. Because they’re boneless and skinless though, these thighs don’t have as much protection from […]
