Who doesn't love a calzone? Word to the wise: double this recipe and freeze the leftovers individually so they're easy to grab for a quick dinner on busy school nights–just re-heat in the oven until warmed through.
Have you wanted to try making Indian food but were too intimidated by the laundry list of spices? Try this easy, lightened-up yet flavorful version of Chicken Korma, a subtly-spiced dish combining chicken, spices, and yogurt, which introduces you to the flavors of the subcontinent from the comfort of your kitchen.
If slow cooking isn't your thing, this dish is just as easy when it's made on the stovetop. The cinnamon, raisins and olives in this dish are truly transformative—if you're not a fan of this classic Latin dish yet, you will be.
Here's a hearty lasagna that will make you forget about the old standby versions. The best part? The rich, creamy sauce in each layer will help even the pickiest eaters forget they're eating their veggies.
Looking for an easy spring dish that'll dazzle at your next potluck picnic or dinner party? This one is your best bet—the bright, fresh lemon and mint flavors are a perfect compliment to tender chicken breast.
Roasted Acorn Squash Stuffed Shells is a perfect in season meal for a fall/winter night. When you gather acorn squash from your garden or farmers market take it home, roast, puree and place in baggies until you are ready to use. Makes its easier for those busy weeknights.
For a bright green pop of color and a peppery counterpoint to the squash's sweetness, try stirring in some chopped fresh arugula or watercress.
This scrumptious dish and side dish offer a sophisticated complexity of sweet and spicy tastes, the hearty nutrition of meat, fruit, vegetables and dairy, and no gluten.
Brown rice fusilli can be a fantastic, whole-grain and gluten-free substitute for traditional pasta, especially when bearing the right sauce, like this remarkably tasty pumpkin seed and spinach pesto.
Unless you make Beef Stroganoff regularly, you generally assume it's a complicated dish that takes a lot of time. Not so: you can make it from start to finish in less than half an hour. It's traditionally served over egg noodles but in my house we accompany it with brown rice.
In these delicious duck quesadillas, the fontina cheese complements the sweet and juicy plums in much the same way cream complements berries.
It's usually a weekend when I find a little extra time for making something more than an ordinary ham sandwich for lunch. This sandwich is a rich and delicious complexity of hearty, fruity and nutty flavors. Be sure to use a fresh, hearty bread. -Meg
Here's a turkey sandwich with a twist: a creamy and spicy chili sauce. Do something new with those turkey leftovers!
The amount of vegetables in this chunky sauce makes it great for eating solo, as a side dish or on top of couscous, barley or rice. It can also be used on top of chicken, shrimp or swordfish.
