Roasted Tomato Chilaquiles

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Our shortcut chilaquiles use corn chips to avoid frying tortillas. The sauce is a quick puree of canned fire-roasted tomatoes, onion, garlic and chipotle peppers. Serve with fried eggs, quick-pickled radishes, and an appetite for adventure.

Meat-and-Veg Hand Pies with Cheddar Pastry

Credit: Cameron Sadeghpour
View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Inspired by Nebraska's Runzas and Michigan's pasties, these pocket pies hold beef, sausage, onion, and shredded greens. The crust is like a buttery, flaky Cheez-It, but pastry-phobes can use purchased pie crust and add cheddar to the filling.

In Australia, gorgeously topped fluffy pancakes are a bonafide Instagram phenomenon. Down Under, they're served individually at cafes; our version is scaled up to be cut into wedges for a crowd.

Rosy Rhubarb, Raspberry and Cheese Danish

These beauties use frozen puff pastry for ease, but the filling has an optional fancy ingredient: rose water. It gives a lovely, floral je ne sais quoi to the punchy fruit.

We love a mimosa's two-ingredient simplicity—but oh, this ambrosial riff is good. The recipe scales up easily to serve from a pitcher.

Flaky Biscuits

This is our all-time favorite biscuit recipe. The flavor is fabulous with pure butter, but it can weep out a bit in baking. For a cleaner pan, use the butter-shortening combo option.

Green Veggie Pasta

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Go green with three superfood veggies—collard greens, asparagus, and peas. It's delicious as a meat-free meal, but if you like, add some ham for extra flavor and protein.
