Tips for Making Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizza Dough The dough is layered with butter, rolled and fitted into a cake pan. The high-sided crust makes room for a substantial amount of filling. To create its buttery flavor and light crust you laminate the dough and give it an extra rise. Laminate means to create alternate thin layers of butter and dough (think croissants or puff pastry.) While those pastries require folding, rolling, and folding again a few times over, in this simplified version, all you do is spread a layer of softened, room temperature butter over the dough and roll it into a cylinder, creating layers....

With so much to do, it’s nice to have a few recipes in my back pocket that can be prepared ahead of time, cooked in one pot, and on the table in about 30 minutes. Chinese 5-Spice Skillet Chicken fits the bill! Orange, fennel, and Chinese 5-spice blend come together in this dish for a flavorful one-skillet chicken dinner. I make it a complete meal by adding fresh green beans and strips of sweet bell pepper....

Could I Use Other Fish? If you don’t have cod, any white fish like sole or pollock will do.

Adapt This Recipe for Leftover Fish or Potatoes Leftover white fish works for this recipe. Flake a few cups of the cooked fish, removing any bones....

Crockpot Roast Beef and Vegetables Crockpot Roast Beef and Vegetables is one of those meals that instantly transports me back to my childhood. Even before the days of slow cookers, my grandmother and mother would roast vegetables and meat it in the oven. I loved coming in from church on a Sunday to the smell of fragrant meat, carrots and potatoes. Of course you can still use the oven for this recipe, but it requires the oven being on for hours and heating up the house....

It’s an unapologetic homage to vibrant green veggies (in this case spinach and parsley), wrapped in silky sharp cheddar béchamel, tossed with elbow macaroni pasta. There is a salad dressing called “Green Goddess” that was popular for a time in the 70s. It has garlic, sour cream, parsley, tarragon, and anchovies, and is absolutely delicious. This mac cheese is sort of a riff on that dressing. I’ve even included anchovies as an option if you have them (if you’ve never cooked with anchovies, they don’t make food taste like fish, they just make savory food taste better), but you can use Worcestershire sauce instead if you like, or leave either out entirely if you want a vegetarian dish....

Low Calorie Sesame Chicken Stir Fry This Sesame Chicken Stir Fry is kind of my knock-off version of the Lean Cuisine Sesame Chicken. I have to admit, when I was working in an office and only had 30-minute lunch-breaks, I had the Lean Cuisine Sesame Chicken all the time. In fact, it was my favorite quick, frozen, lunch. My biggest gripe about it was that there wasn’t enough and I still felt hungry after eating it....

This Homemade Donuts recipe is so much fun to make. Our good friends shared this recipe with us years ago and we’ve been making them ever since. Coated with cinnamon and sugar, powdered sugar, glaze or maple and chocolate frosting, I just can’t pick a favorite! The dough couldn’t be easier to make and the process of making your own donuts is not as complicated as it seems. My kids love getting involved by cutting out the shapes and seasoning them up all sorts of ways....

This taco seasoning is a spice blend that’s smoky and herby. It eliminates the need to pull out multiple spice jars when you get a craving for big, bold flavors. It will cover all the spice bases for your next epic Taco Tuesday. What’s in My Taco Seasoning This taco seasoning begins with chili powder. Chili powder is not spicy. In fact, it’s a blend of spices: ground red chili peppers, oregano, garlic, and sometimes salt....

But what if you’re miles away from a Thai restaurant and just want to recreate the experience at home? Well, that’s what I set out to do. I spent some time talking with Chef Peter, who came to the United States from Bangkok via California and now runs the kitchen at 1001 Thai in Easton, PA, my favorite local Thai place. The recipe below is how he makes pad Thai....

Don’t be fooled by the lack of color, though! Its flavor runs the full spectrum of hearty, creamy, tangy, and well-spiced (but not too spicy!), so it’s both adult- and kid-friendly. Creamy White Chicken Chili White chili can be brothy or creamy, with a ton of toppings or served with just a handful of fresh cilantro and some warm, charred tortillas. This one has a touch of dairy, but it’s not super thick....

I’ll see them less, but in some ways I’ll think about them more, as the lead lunch packer and chaperone for our family. Oliver needs an extra packed snack because he has a playdate after school. Remind Ethan to check lost-and-found for his water bottle, again. Pick up frozen pizzas for nights I don’t have it in me to make dinner—Hugh likes pepperoni. Likewise, Simply Recipes has back-to-school top of mind....
