Lunch

A crunchy, salty salad that proves (once again!) that it’s worth having a mandoline slicer.

Why choose between boiled or fried? The key to these pierogies is doing both. 

Fava beans most likely require a trip to a farmers’ market and take a while to peel. Sugar snap peas cut into bite-size pieces are a fine alternative.

The pungent garlic notes in ramps make them the perfect accompaniment for any pasta dish.

You can make the dough, you can buy the dough, or you can simply assemble these same toppings on slices of toasted country-style bread.

Is there any time of day when a pancake isn’t welcome at the table? What about a Savory Dutch Baby that mixes up in seconds? Didn’t think so.

Butter and sweet onions are all you need for these warm, flavor-packed sandwiches.

Kanye-themed lunch menus, house-made ice cream, and energy drinks on tap—it's no surprise these are the companies everyone wants to work for.

It’s breakfast! It’s brunch! It’s a snack! It’s a glorious mess. And in case you’re wondering, the waffles are pretty amazing just on their own.

This is ideal for a brunch party; the entire casserole can be assembled the night before so all that’s left to do is bake it the next day. And let’s be real: We’d happily eat it for dinner, too.

Stuff your face with all the foods that are, well, stuffed.

Visit an Italian deli and splurge on the cold cuts, but hit the supermarket for everything else, including the not-too-crusty rolls that are usually loaded into bins in the bakery section.

Winter’s answer to the grain bowl, this feels super hearty and satisfying.

Use whatever bread you have lying around, but we like the earthy flavor combo of rye and beets.

Beans can roll with virtually any flavor profile, including bright fresh citrus, lime juice, and chiles in this wintery salad.

All that sour cream keeps these drop biscuits super moist and tender—they reheat well, even after sitting out for hours (pop back into 350° oven for 5 minutes).

Bob’s Red Mill makes a coarse cornmeal that’s perfect for these, but don’t stress if you can’t find it. A finer grind will just have less crunch.

Stop paying $$$ every day for grain bowls. Build a healthy and satisfying lunch on the cheap with a 6-layer bento box.

This fresh take on tabbouleh eliminates the bulgur entirely and uses the golden seeds of millet instead, which give a nutty, cornlike taste to the salad. (Here's how to master millet). But it's really all about the green herbs: Feel free to add too many!

The not-so-secret formula behind Sweetgreen and other DIY salad spots? And the key to making this smoked salmon recipe? It's called mise en place. Prep the components in advance, then put it all together later.

This is the kind of healthy, satisfying food that we all wish would simply materialize at home for dinner.

Give an hour to prepping these components, and thank yourself all week long.

Try this versatile protein-packed side/condiment/snack tossed into stir-fries, as a burrito filling, or folded into sautéed greens.
