Scenario: You're having a dinner party and your guests show up starving. Or let's say you're running a little bit behind on the main entree. Contributing Editor Alison Roman suggests a simple Green Goddess dip with crudités and a punchy-but-not-too-boozy cocktail (served as concentrate so you don't have to play bartender) to keep your guests busy.

Play
Join Chris Morocco as he makes baked lunch nachos. Chris relies on some version of these lunch nachos at least once a week as he brainstorms what to feed his two young kids.
