How To Make Quinoa Bowls Building bowls is kind of like combining leftovers to create a whole new meal. You take small amounts of many things and mix them together. For this recipe you will roast sweet potatoes, sauté spinach, cook quinoa, and toast seeds. This may seem like a lot, but every component is cooked in the same two pans, which saves time on clean up. Better still is that bowls are a great make-ahead meal....
Tomatoes, kalamata olives, red onions, cucumbers, feta cheese—it’s summer in a bowl! You know what tastes amazing with all of those ingredients? Quinoa. Quinoa behaves like a grain, but it’s really a seed, and it happens to pair very well with cheese. The nutty flavor of the quinoa balances the acidity of the tomatoes and dressing, while warm softness of it plays well against the cool crunchiness of the cucumbers....
This is a pasta sauce I came up with when I recently spent a night working the pasta station at Grange restaurant in Sacramento for Chef Michael Tuohy. It is a Spanish-inspired sauce of roasted red peppers, plenty of garlic and a hit of sage – it’s similar to the flavors in my favorite wild game stew, a dish from the Spanish region of Aragon called chilindron. I originally made the sauce to go with pici pasta, a hand-rolled, fat spaghetti-like shape that is a little like a marriage between bucatini and Japanese udon noodles....
But after I asked if he wanted a bite of my slice, he proceeded to eat the entire piece, which was not part of my initial offering! Thankfully, I had more pie left. I took a sip of coffee, cut myself another slice, and made sure not to offer him anymore bites off of my plate. What Is Shoofly Pie? This uniquely-named pie is sometimes lumped together with other “desperation pies” like chess pie, vinegar pie, and sugar pies....

This recipe is for canned beans, a “quick” version of baked beans using three different types of beans—kidney beans, black beans, and cannellini beans. My father adapted this recipe from one in an old issue of Bon Appétit magazine years ago. It has a tangy, rich flavor from the vinegar, molasses, and bacon and is a cinch to put together. A great side for pork or steak. Alternatively, cook in a slow cooker 4 hours on high, or 8 on low....

You have some options: If you have a food processor with a slicer attachment, I would highly recommend using it.

Messy, spicy, filling, did I say messy? Some claim that you can actually eat it with your hands. Maybe, if it’s right off the grill, and you don’t have much chili on it, and the bottom is wrapped in foil or wax paper. If you do attempt such a thing, for goodness sake don’t wear white. I personally have never had much luck with these without utensils, and even then if I’m thinking ahead I’ll tuck a paper napkin in my shirt....
Tomatoes and fish are a natural pairing. Their sweetness and acidity livens up lean, white fish such as cod, walleye or sole, and it cuts some of the fattiness of oilier fish such as bluefish and mackerel. This is a deceptively easy dish that requires a little attention while you are cooking it. You are cooking the fish very gently in the pan, then making what is essentially a warm vinaigrette with the tomatoes and olive oil....

It’s common on some popular Chinese take-out menus—and with good reason, because it’s delicious. What Is Firecracker Chicken? Firecracker chicken is lightly fried on the stovetop and then baked with a simple spicy sauce, which is typically made with a mix of buffalo sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. (My favorite buffalo sauce? Frank’s or Sweet Baby Ray’s.) The sauce bakes down into a glaze, and the resulting dish is a little crispy and a little sticky, a litte spicy and a little sweet....
