I like a salad that has layers of color and texture. I look beyond croutons to find crunchy vegetables and unusual additions to spice things up a bit. Therefore, when some spicy quinoa puffs found their way to my pantry, I knew I had salad gold on hand!
If you have a little time to shred and slice some vegetables, a simple sushi bowl is mere minutes away. When hot weather has you avoiding the oven, dishes like this are a home chef's best friend.
'Tis the time of the year when time is in short supply and quick, easy meals are a must. But before you order pizza delivery, consider one of our many slow cooker or pasta dishes. Look in our archives. Plus, in less than 20 minutes, you can have warm rolls filled with melted cheese to enjoy alongside them. Need I say more?
Since Turkey Day, there's a southwestern feel to my posts. Maybe I'm leaning in that direction because Tex-Mex flavors don't often factor into our fall and winter holiday menus. And while I'm all for tradition and enjoying sentimental meals, sometimes I just want tacos.

Every once in a while, I share lunch with readers. And by that, I mean I let folks know what I had on a particular day, not that you should be expecting a delivery at any moment. That said, this one's simple enough that you might want to take a few minutes to make it for yourself!
Enjoy the best of the holidays by hosting a casual party. Forget dinner. Forget dessert. Just focus on cheese, a few items to complement cheese, and a couple of bottles of wine. Suddenly, you get a fun evening without a hassle.
When left to my own devices, I'll incorporate stone fruit into most meals this time of the year. So when I find myself in the possession of a bunch of greens and a need for lunch, these normally sweet-centric fruits become the stars of a savory salad.
Let's face it: pie is amazing. However, it can be time consuming and fussy … unless you have a couple of secret ingredients and then it can be yours with about 10 minutes of time and effort on your part!
