Recipes
Limoncello Prosecco Spritzers
Set up a bar with a bucket of ice-cold (and affordable!) prosecco, a bottle of limoncello, seltzer, fresh lemons, and ice cubes. Prosecco is perfect for this cocktail, but seltzer is great for a lighter option.
Minty Melon Mojitos
Frozen cantaloupe cubes make this cool cocktail even more perfect for warm evenings with friends.
Fried Chicken Katsu
This easy recipe with tonkatsu sauce, made of malt vinegar, yeast, and fruit and vegetable purées, may be your new favorite way to eat fried chicken.
Asian Chicken Tacos
Inspired by the Vietnamese sandwich bahn mi, these tacos will have you counting and recounting the number of ingredients because the flavor punch you get with each bite defies the laws of five ingredients.
Chicken Shiitake Marsala
We’ve taken this Italian American dish and added our own flair. We love the rich flavor of the shiitake mushrooms with the mildly sweet Marsala wine.
Curry Pork Chops
A creamy, spicy coconut milk sauce keeps pork chops moist and vegetables tender. Serve over brown rice to make sure not one bit of this deliciously addicting sauce gets left behind.
Crispy Gnocchi Primavera
It’s time to let the pot of water take a back seat, because your sheet pan is the hero in this. With fresh flavors— and plenty of sharp pecorino cheese— you’ll be wondering why you haven’t roasted gnocchi before now.
Whipped Cream
Raspberry-Banana Pudding
Try this fruity new spin on the classic summertime sweet.
Strawberry Pretzel Tart
Use the leftover strawberries from making the syrup to dollop on ice cream.
Frozen Berry Swirl Sheet Cake
No time to make the raspberry sauce? No worries. Use ¾ cup seedless raspberry jam mixed with ¼ cup water instead of the homemade sauce.
Shoestring Okra
These little strips of fried okra get tossed in a homemade lemon pepper seasoning; serve this dish right away, as the okra will lose its crispness if it sits too long.
