Pepper and Portobello Fajitas

Pepper and Portobello Fajitas
View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Portobellos have such a meaty texture, you might not miss a traditional protein in these simple grilled veggie fajitas--but there's enough marinade to dress a steak, if you want. (Plus the recipe, which comes from the book Pretty Simple Cooking, includes a simple bean side dish to make on the grill, too!)

A brilliantly simple and delicious way to cook salmon, this 25-minute recipe is done in the time it takes to cook a pot of rice. Don't be tempted to skip the fresh basil; its flavor seals the flavor deal on this weeknight meal.

Roasting the vegetables is an extra step, but it adds incredible depth of flavor to this Latin-inflected pizza (and you have to heat up the oven anyway!). The recipe comes from the blog A Couple Cooks .

Kissed with lemon and ginger, this easy freezer jam from the cookbook Savory Sweet calls for minimum sugar. It has a looser texture than traditional jams-all the better for spooning over oatmeal or ice cream!

Mediterranean Potato and Green Bean Salad

Mediterranean Potato and Green Bean Salad

This beautiful, French-inspired, veggie-ful potato salad says "au revoir" to mayonnaise and instead features a light garlic vinaigrette. That means the dish can safely sit out for a while (and even tastes better at room temperature).

This simple three-ingredient freezer jam from the cookbook Savory Sweet gets wonderful depth and complexity from the addition of wine. It's sublime with vanilla ice cream.

Lentil and Rice Summer Salad

Lentil and Rice Summer Salad
View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

This is a fab potluck salad. If you make it for dinner at home, try it topped with a salmon fillet or, for a vegetarian entree, served over spinach or other salad greens. (A word of warning: Don't substitute a different rice. Arborio, the type used in risotto, definitely works best.) The recipe comes from the blog A Couple Cooks.

Cajun Pizza

Cajun Pizza

This easy pizza from Alex and Sonja Overhiser of the blog A Couple Cooks isn't overly spicy, but has enough flavor and kick to stand out from a standard pizza. We love how it relies on basic pantry ingredients.
