This version adds a smoky element with the grilled chicken and the grilled garlic croutons. The Ingredients for Caesar Salad This salad comes together quickly and easily with simple ingredients, many of which you probably already have on hand. I’m using boneless and skinless chicken thighs, which stay juicier than chicken breasts and cook very quickly. You can prepare the chicken ahead of time, either by marinating it up to 24 hours in advance or by grilling the chicken up to two days before and serving it as a cold salad....

In her recent post on making Homemade Hot Cocoa Mix, Sally offers this genius solution: Make a paste with the hot cocoa mix and one or two tablespoons of the milk. Make sure all the cocoa mix is moistened, and then stir in the rest of the milk....
I mean it’s hard enough to get people to eat their greens, let alone to try something raw that they would normally only eat cooked. But when my friend Katie brought this kale salad to a dinner party, it was the one dish, among a multitude of fabulous dishes, that I kept going back to. (Oh, I’ll have seconds. Uhm, thirds. Okay I’ve stopped counting, this is good.) This kale salad has now become a favorite at our house, and one of the most requested sides for holiday meals....

I still laugh when I remember standing over a giant pot on a giant restaurant stove adding one pinch of salt at a time when a quarter of a cup or so would have been closer to the mark. That lentil soup became a vegetarian staple in our restaurant. Since then, I’ve tweaked it to make it even more flavorful. Carrots and celery added to the mix, along with caramelized onions and tomato paste, bring forth an even tastier bowl, which vegetarians and carnivores alike can relish with gusto....
This is why watermelon with feta is such a classic summer salad. We’ve taken this idea a little further by adding a touch of zing from chiles to our melon salad. Don’t overdo it with the chiles! There should be just enough to make your tongue tingle. That along with the sweetness from the melons, a little lime or lemon juice, some mint, and a dash of salt, and you have a summer melon symphony....

Add chorizo? Sure. Make the cheese smoky? Absolutely. Would you like some chicken? Or veggies? Even better. What about pesto? And veggies? Double yes! But sometimes taking a chance on a recipe can be a little risky if you’re feeding someone other than an adult—i.e, someone who may or may not politely articulate how he or she feels about the food—and who therefore may or may not eat said food....

Red velvet is flavored with both cocoa powder and vanilla extract, but it’s not just a simple compromise between chocolate and vanilla. It has its own characteristic red velvet flavor because of the tart buttermilk and vinegar. The acidity in these ingredients also gives the cake an extra lift for a fluffy, soft texture, like velvet. Older recipes used to use a classic ermine frosting but this recipe instead uses rich cream cheese frosting to emphasize the sweet and tangy flavor of red velvet cake....
Chowders tend to be more stew-like or chunky, and bisques puréed. Bisques are traditionally made with shellfish, though these days a puréed tomato, cream-based soup can be called a bisque too. We half-puréed this smoked salmon bisque, which accounts for the photograph. My father made this delicious soup the other day after being inspired by a bisque we had at a local bistro and wine bar. So creamy and good!...
Grilled Steak Quesadillas I love steak quesadillas but up until recently, I had never tried putting them on the grill. Now that I have, I may never go back o the “old” way.

Yet it tastes like you really went all out....
