A ginger-forward chicken tonic soup that will provide some much-needed relief when you’re not feeling too hot.

This salad recipe hits all the flavors we crave in a weeknight dinner: a hit of spice from the chiles, heartiness from the beef, crispy crunch from fresh veg, and even a bit of sweetness from the honey. We highly endorse cooking off extra rice noodles to keep on hand for low-maintenance stir-fries and soups for later in the week.

Sweet-spicy chipotle chicken, zippy roasted tomatillo salsa, and spice-rubbed squash all on one sheet pan.

We're topping all of our braises with bacon from now on.

Turkey burgers always sound like a great idea, but they too often taste like a fat sawdust patty. No more, friends! Mashing avocado into the turkey mixture helps prevent the meat from shrinking and drying out during cooking, which is why these stay awesomely juicy, even when they’re cooked all the way through.
