3. Easy Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Sandwiches (4 Ingredients!)

Looking for easy crockpot chicken recipes? This shredded buffalo chicken is made with just 4 simple ingredients! It's so dang good in a hoagie roll, or even on a salad if you're keeping it low carb. Cook it on high or low in your slow cooker, and enjoy it for lunch or dinner recipe.

healthy dinner recipes

INGREDIENTS

3-4 large chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds)

1 (12oz) bottle of Frank's Buffalo Wing Sauce

1/2 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 2 tbsp)

2 tbsp butter

hoagie rolls for serving

DIRECTIONS

Spray your slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place the chicken, buffalo sauce, and ranch seasoning mix in, and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or high for about 3 hours.

Once the chicken is fully cooked, use a couple of forks to shred the meat (I find it easiest to place the chicken on a cutting board to shred, and then put it back into the crockpot with the juices).

Once shredded, add 2 tbsp of butter to the crockpot and allow it to melt; stir to combine.

That's it! I find it best served on hoagie rolls drizzled with a little ranch dressing. You can also serve with blue cheese crumbles or coleslaw.

4. Oven Baked Chicken Parmesan

This delicious Oven Baked Chicken Parmesan recipe is easy and doesn't require any frying. Because this chicken Parmesan is baked, it is healthy, quick and easy! Make this crispy baked Parmesan crusted chicken for dinner tonight in about thirty minutes!

Healthy Dinner Recipes

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 chicken breasts About 1 pound of chicken total

1 egg

1 cup panko bread crumbs

1/2 cup parmesan cheese fresh grated

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup marinara sauce

1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella

2 tablespoon minced parsley optional, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

Line a baking sheet with foil, brush foil with olive oil. Adjust oven rack so that is in the second from the top space. Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Cut the chicken breasts in half and pound to even thickness: Cut through the middle of the chicken breast as if you are going to butterfly it (cutting it open like a book), but cut all the way through to make two equal sized pieces.

After cutting the chicken breasts in half, place them in a gallon sized zip top bag in an even layer, seal it, then pound them to an even thickness using a meat pounder or a rolling pin. You can also place the chicken breasts between two layers of cling wrap instead of a zip top bag if you prefer.

Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then season with salt and pepper.

In one shallow dish, mix together panko bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and black pepper.

In another shallow dish, whisk one egg.

Dip one chicken breast into the egg, then into the bread crumb mixture. Ensure chicken breast is fully coated in the crumb mixture, and gently press with your hand do help the crumbs stick to the chicken. Place chicken breast on prepared baking sheet, repeat with remaining pieces of chicken.

Place baking sheet in oven on the second from the top rack. Bake for 15 minutes, or until cooked through.

Flip chicken, pour 1/4 cup of marinara sauce over each piece of chicken, then top with cheese. Place back in the oven. Turn on the broiler. Broil for 2-4 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly and edges of chicken are browning.

5. Whole30 Steak Bites with Sweet Potatoes and Peppers

This recipe for Whole30 steak bites is packed with tons of flavor and huge pops of vitamins thanks to colorful sweet potatoes and bell peppers. It's an easy, approachable weeknight dinner recipe that's ready in under 45 minutes.

healthy dinner recipes

INGREDIENTS

1 large sweet potato (about 12 ounces), diced into 1" pieces

1 tsp sea or kosher salt

1 lb flat iron steak, diced into 1" pieces

3 tbsp olive oil, divided

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 bell peppers, seeded and diced into 1" pieces

4 green onions, thinly sliced

2 tbsp coconut aminos

2 tsp cracked black pepper

2 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro

DIRECTIONS

Place the diced sweet potatoes into a microwave safe bowl, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt. Cover with a plate and microwave on high until just barely tender, 4-6 minutes. Stir once halfway through. The potatoes are ready when you can piece one with the tip of a knife and meet just a bit of resistance. Take care not to overcook at this stage or they'll turn out mushy later.

Heat a 12” skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and heat until shimmering. Add the steak in a single layer. Cook, turning every two minutes, until the pieces are browned and the center is medium, about 10 minutes. Remove the steak from the skillet using a slotted spoon and set aside onto a plate.

Add the third tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add the sweet potatoes, toss to coat in the fat and cook until browned, stirring occasionally, until browned, 3-4 minutes.

Make a well in the center of the pan and add the garlic. Sautee, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the bell pepper and scallions and toss with the potatoes. Sautee, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are bite tender, 3-4 minutes.

Add the steak and juices back to the pan along with the coconut aminos. Toss all ingredients and cook an additional 1- 2 minutes until the liquid has evaporated.

Add the pepper and cilantro, toss, and remove from heat. Portion onto plates, top with additional fresh cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.

7. Spicy Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Crema

These Spicy Shrimp Tacos are marinated in delicious spices and sit on top of a homemade slaw with an avocado crema perfect for taco tuesday or any day of the week!

healthy dinner recipes

INGREDIENTS

Shrimp Marinade

1lb shrimp, uncooked, peeled, deveined, tails removed

1 tsp dark chili powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp garlic minced, (or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1/2 tsp kosher salt

Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tbsp)

3 tbsp avocado oil

Taco Elements

1 cup shredded green cabbage

1 cup shredded purple cabbage

8–10 small flour or corn tortillas, lightly toasted

Garnish:

Fresh cilantro

Lime wedges

Avocado Crema

1 medium avocado, seed removed and flesh scooped out

1/2 cup cilantro

1 jalapeño, seeds removed

3 cloves of garlic, peeled

2 limes, juiced (3 tbsp)

1/2 cup plain greek yogurt

3 tbsp avocado oil

3 tbsp water

1/2 tsp kosher salt

DIRECTIONS

In a small bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients: 3 tbsp avocado oil, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, and kosher salt. Add in prepped shrimp, stir to coat all the shrimp with marinade. Place in refrigerator and marinate for minimum 30 minutes.

While the shrimp is marinating, in a food processor add the avocado crema ingredients: avocado, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, lime juice, yogurt, olive oil, water and kosher salt. Pulse until all the ingredients are smooth. If the consistency is too thick, add another tbsp of water. Set aside.

Using a mandoline or knife, shred the cabbages. Place in a small bowl, add a few spoons of the crema and toss to combine. Save the rest of the crema to drizzle over the tacos at the end.

You can either cook the shrimp in a cast iron skillet or grill them.

Grill method: Skewer the shrimp on either soaked bamboo or metal skewers. Preheat the grill. Over medium direct heat, cook the shrimp for 5-7 minutes, flipping them midway through. You want the outside slightly charred and pink, with the inside white.

Cast iron method: In a seasoned cast iron skillet over medium/high heat, give each shrimp a good shake (to get rid of some excess marinade) and add it to the pan. Cook the shrimp for 5-7 minutes flipping halfway through. You are looking for the same preparedness as above.

Assemble the tacos: Place the tortilla down, add a few spoons of the cabbage slaw, add a few shrimps, drizzle avocado crema over the top, garnish with fresh cilantro, serve with lime wedges!

12. Crispy Garlic Parmesan Brussels Sprouts

Easy-to-make roasted brussels sprouts that will win anyone over. Even the little ones! This recipe comes together in under 30 minutes and is FULL of amazing flavor!

healthy dinner recipes

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 lbs brussles sproouts, (ends trimmed and sliced in half)

2 tbsp unsalted butter, (melted)

2 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp salt, (more or less - to taste)

1/4 tsp pepper, (more or less to taste)

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs, (or regular breadcrumbs)

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.

Trim the ends off of the brussels sprouts. If you have a mixture of large and small brussels sprouts, slice the larger ones in half or quarters. Keep the small brussels sprouts intact.

If using all small brussels sprouts, slice in half or keep whole. I prefer mine sliced in half if they are not too small to get a nice crisp edge when they roast cut-side down.

To a large bowl, combine the melted butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to fully combine. Add in the brussels sprouts and gently toss to thoroughly combine with the butter mixture.

Next, add in the panko and parmesan cheese. Toss gently to combine.

Transfer the brussels sprouts to the prepared baking sheet, making sure to create a single, spaced out layer. Arrange any sliced sprouts cut-side down.

If you have any leftover breadcrumb/cheese mixture, simply sprinkle overtop of the sprouts and press down slightly to help it stick.

Bake 15-20 minutes or until sprouts are fork-tender and lightly browned. Check at 15 minutes. Roasting time will vary based on the size of the sprouts. It's important to keep an eye on them to avoid burning.

Best served right out of the oven. Garnish with additional parmesan cheese, if desired.

NOTES

BAKE TIME: Please keep in mind that roasting time will vary depending on how large OR small the brussels sprouts are. The bake time listed above (15-20 minutes) is based on 1.5 lbs of smaller brussels sprouts. Check at 18-20 minutes for larger brussels sprouts and go from there.The sprouts should be lightly browned, crisp, and fork-tender when done. It's very easy to overcook them, so keep an eye on them.

MAKE AHEAD? I do not recommend making these ahead of time. They are best served freshly roasted out of the oven. Leftovers will soften as they sit and will be difficult to crisp up again without overcooking them.

.87 oz. packet Brown Gravy Mix

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Take out your chicken strips and let them sit at room temp for about 5 minutes if you prefer to slice them first.

Spread the potatoes on the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish.

Note: If your mashed potatoes are cold, warm them first.

Top with corn and cheese.

Carefully slice the chicken strips into pieces of desired size and top the casserole dish with them.

Bake for 20 minutes, until the chicken is crisp.

Prepare the gravy on the stove top according to package instructions while the casserole finishes baking.

Drizzle desired amount of gravy over the casserole dish and serve!

NOTES

Milk may be used instead of half and half. You can also use cream for ultimate decadence.

If you prefer a creamier consistency, additional milk or half and half may be added to the mashed potatoes until your desired consistency is reached.

For quicker mashed potatoes, you can peel them and slice them into thirds of equal size so that they finish boiling more quickly.

Don’t forget to pin and save for later! 🙂

19. Healthy White Chicken Chili

Healthy white chicken chili that's easy, creamy and dairy free. This family favorite recipe includes options to make it in the slow cooker!

healthy dinner recipes

INGREDIENTS

½ tablespoon olive oil

1 medium white onion, chopped

1 can mild green chiles (or sub 2 seeded and diced jalapenos)

1 tablespoon ground cumin

2 teaspoons chili powder

¼ teaspoon coriander

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

4 cups low sodium chicken broth

2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained

¾ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste

Freshly ground black pepper

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (or chicken breast)

½ cup frozen corn

1 medium lime, juiced

1/3 cup fresh, chopped cilantro

For garnish:

Tortilla strips or chips

Extra cilantro

Avocado slices

Extra lime wedge

INSTRUCTIONS

Add olive oil to a large dutch oven or large pot and place over medium high heat. Add onion and green chiles and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Next stir in cumin, chili powder, coriander and dried oregano; allow the spices to cook for 30 seconds, then add in chicken broth, 1 can of drained chickpeas (about 1 1/2 cups chickpeas), uncooked chicken breast and salt and pepper. Simmer on medium low heat for 20-30 minutes.

After 20 minutes, remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and shred with two forks. Next add in fresh lime juice and cilantro.

Finally, add the remaining can of rinsed and drained chickpeas (1 1/2 cups chickpeas) and ½ cup water (or broth) to a blender. Blend until somewhat smooth, adding a little more water if necessary.

Pour blended chickpeas into soup pot and then stir in the corn, lime juice and cilantro. Allow soup to cook and simmer for 5-10 more minutes. Serve with tortilla chips, an extra lime wedge and avocado if you’d like. Serves 4. Enjoy!

NOTES

Make this in your slow cooker:

Making healthy white chicken chili in the slow cooker is EASY.

Simply add all ingredients except the lime juice and cilantro to your slow cooker.

I also recommend reducing the chicken broth in the recipe by 1 cup as your slow cooker will create condensation and additional liquid as the soup cooks.

Cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6-7 hours.

Remove chicken and shred, then add back to the slow cooker and stir in lime juice and cilantro.

Season to taste.

That's it!

Don’t forget to pin and save for later! 🙂

Hot Chicken Philly Cheesesteak Dip

If you like hot, melty Chicken Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches, you’ll love this dip! This is one dip you’ll want to have at any party, perfect for the super bowl coming up.

Hot Chicken Philly Cheesesteak Dip

More party dips I love are Buffalo Chicken Dip, Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip (or a version with added crab!), Taco Dip and easy Guacamole. Check out a full list of Skinny Party Dip ideas.

I have a weakness for Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches, so when my sister-in-law brought this philly cheesesteak dip to my Mom’s on Christmas, I couldn’t stop thinking about it for days – it was that good! I needed to figure out a way to make this lighter so I played around with it and came up with a solution, worthy to bring to any party!

I replaced the steak with chicken, cut the cream cheese in half and used light instead, and replaced the rest with light sour cream (I tried it with Greek yogurt but didn’t taste as good). The final result was DELICIOUS!

For dipping I bought a whole wheat baguette, sliced it thin and toasted it but bagel thins, pretzel thins, tortilla chips or even crudites would work! This can be made one day in advance and stored in the refrigerator before baking.

Bye, Bye, Birdie: 22 Grilled Chicken Recipes to Devour This Memorial Day

[Photographs: J. Kenji López-Alt, Shao Z.]

If I show up at a barbecue and don't trust the chef, I steer clear of any chicken I see—more often than not it's going to be mediocre. But grilled chicken doesn't have to be stringy and flavorless—use the right technique and it'll be perfectly juicy and still have shatteringly crispy skin. And, of course, it will taste great. To show you how it's done, we've rounded up 22 of our favorite grilled chicken recipes, from a simple spatchcocked bird and Thai-style satay to homemade chicken sausages with roasted garlic and feta.

[Photograph: J. Kenji López-Alt]

Spatchcocking works just as well for grilling as it does for roasting—I never cook a whole bird any other way. To cook the chicken right use a two-step process, starting with the chicken skin-side up on the cooler side of the grill before finishing it over the coals to crisp up the skin.

Bigger birds aren't well-suited to conventional grilling because it's hard to cook them through evenly. Barbecue is the way to go for large roasting chickens—the low-and-slow technique cooks them gently and imbues them with tons of smoke. For extra flavor we like to brush the chicken with barbecue sauce toward the end of cooking.

Without question, the best grilled chicken I've ever had was on a little island in the Gulf of Thailand. In a country full of wonderful grilled meat, the chicken stands out. The secret is marinating the meat with fish sauce and sugar, which helps create an intense, caramelized crust on the grill.

Thai-Style Grilled Chicken (Gai Yang) Recipe »

In American Thai restaurants, satay is the grilled chicken dish you're most likely to find on the menu. Our version is marinated with coriander, white pepper, palm sugar, garlic, ginger, shallot, turmeric, lemongrass, and a handful of other ingredients and served with a tamarind-peanut dipping sauce.

The average yakitori joint will serve dozens of cuts of chicken, but at home it's easiest to stick with boneless, skinless chicken thighs, which are good for grilling because they're harder to overcook than breasts. These skewers are super easy—just alternate the chicken with big pieces of scallion, grill, and glaze with teriyaki sauce. If you want a riff on the same theme, you could also try grilling up some skewers with nanbansu, a sweet-sour sauce that can pull double duty as a dip and a marinade.

If you've got your skewers and chicken out already, you could also give this combination of chicken, sage, prosciutto, and peach a try. The meat and fruit take a brief bath in a white wine marinade, which adds flavor even as it helps the chicken retain its moisture on the grill, and that same marinade gets reduced and served alongside as a dipping sauce.

If you're not going to cook with wood, then next best option is to cook on wood. Here we cook chicken on wood planks set onto the grates of the grill to give them a little bit of wood flavor. We use a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, and fresh herbs to both marinate and baste the chicken to keep it moist.

Planked Chicken Quarters With Lemon and Herb Recipe »

[Photograph: J. Kenji López-Alt]

The marinade for Jamaican jerk chicken is pretty straightforward—allspice, thyme, and Scotch bonnet peppers will get you that classic jerk flavor, and habaneros make fine replacements for the Scotch bonnets. Unfortunately, true jerk chicken is smoked over hard-to-find pimento wood. The good news? Using bay leaves instead works remarkably well.

Moving from the Caribbean to the Middle East, this recipe seasons grilled chicken with the earthy spice blend za'atar. I grew up eating the store-bought version of this mix of sesame seeds, sumac, and other herbs, but our homemade version is worth a little extra effort.

Sprinkling chicken with lemon juice as it grills is a typical Greek technique that sounds great until you realize that the juice keeps the skin from crisping up until long after the meat overcooks. To get the same flavors without sacrificing the quality of the chicken, we make a lemon-heavy vinaigrette and use it as a marinade and sauce.

The chicken itself in this recipe is nothing too special—just a spatchcocked bird rubbed with salt, cumin, paprika, pepper, garlic, vinegar, and oil before grilling. The real magic of Peruvian grilled chicken is in the spicy-yet-cooling green sauce, which is made with a mayo and sour cream base and flavored with jalapeños, cilantro, and aji amarillo pepper paste. Make extra, because your guests are going to want to put it on everything. If you're feeding a crowd, or if you just feel like eating sandwiches instead, we've got you covered.

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts tend to be bland and dry, but that doesn't keep them from being one of the most popular cuts of meat in America. If you're going to give chicken breasts space on the grill come Memorial Day, treat them right by pounding them to a uniform thickness, brining them, and using an instant-read thermometer to avoid overcooking them.

Tandoori chicken is cooked at a high temperature, which leads to a risk of the meat drying out. Our solution? Just replace the chicken with smaller, faster-cooking Cornish game hens. Our tandoor-style marinade is made with yogurt, paprika, cumin, turmeric, and other spices—if you want that vibrant red color you find in restaurants you're going to have to add achiote powder or food coloring.

Despite the name, these chicken wings don't taste like seafood—the fish sauce is there to add extra savoriness to the meat. It's joined in the marinade by Asian ingredients like Shaoxing wine, soy sauce, and as many dried red chili peppers as you can handle. A two-zone grill gets the wings juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.

If you want your grilled chicken wings to be extra crispy, sprinkle them with baking powder and salt and rest them overnight in the refrigerator. This both dries out the surface of the wings and raises the pH, which improves browning. Once you have perfectly cooked wings you can sauce them however you want—here we go with a soy sauce, honey, and hoisin glaze.

Grilled Hoisin-Glazed Chicken Wings Recipe »

If you're going to do the air-drying step of preparing chicken wings you can also add seasonings to the mix—for these Cajun-inspired wings we mix paprika, garlic powder, thyme, oregano, cayenne, and more in with the salt and baking powder. After grilling we toss the wings in a Buffalo-style sauce that replaces the Frank's with Louisiana-style hot sauce.

These sausages, made with juicy chicken thigh meat, sweet roasted garlic, and tangy feta cheese, are a fun variation on the hot dogs or brats you might expect to find on the grill come Memorial Day. We also add shallots, oregano, vinegar, and lemon juice, but in moderate quantities so as not to cover up the flavor of the chicken.

Roasted Garlic and Feta Chicken Sausage Recipe »

[Photograph: Joshua Bousel]

Mixing ground chicken with Buffalo sauce is a recipe for disaster—all that butter makes for sausages prone to exploding on the grill. We get around this by using Frank's Buffalo Wings Sauce, which is made with "Natural Butter Type Flavor." The sauce is a little on the bland side, so we add extra Frank's and cayenne pepper to give it more of an edge.

This Korean bar food is perfect for a beer-filled Memorial Day cookout. Chicken thighs marinated in a spicy gochujang-based sauce are grilled until nicely charred. The crisp thighs are then covered in melty mozzarella, which cuts through the spicy and sweet marinade.

It doesn't take a lot of time or ingredients to turn chicken from boring to bright, flavorful, and exciting. The marinade for these skewers combines Dijon mustard, lemon juice, honey, and tarragon. The honey caramelizes over the grill, while the lemon and tarragon keep the skewers tasting fresh and balanced.

These grilled tandoori chicken patties are a great alternative to the beef or chicken burgers most people will be expecting when you tell them you're grilling. Inspired by tandoori chicken, we toss ground chicken with yogurt and Indian spices, then grill the patties until they're lightly charred. Before serving, we top the patties with a tangy yogurt sauce, and wrap them in toasted flatbread.

These sticky, sweet, and smoky wings are inspired by the flavors of Hawaii. They marinate in a mixture of pineapple juice, soy sauce, light brown sugar, and sriracha, along with a few other flavor-packed ingredients. Once the wings are grilled to golden-brown, with nice charred bits from the flames, they're showered with thinly sliced scallions and served with grilled pineapple.

Cauliflower Recipe Ideas & Nutritional Benefits

New Post has been published on https://bestrawfoodrecipes.com/cauliflower-recipe-ideas-nutritional-benefits/

Cauliflower Recipe Ideas & Nutritional Benefits

All featured products are curated independently by our editors. When you buy something through our retail links, we may receive a commission.

In the past, even in healthy eating circles, cauliflower paled in comparison to more vibrant, assertive vegetables, especially kale. But in the past few years, cauliflower has come to rule the kitchen, especially for those on paleo and keto diets. This cruciferous cousin to bolder broccoli easily nabs the spotlight in a variety of meals and can be a healthy substitute for lots of things including meat and potatoes. Let us impart to you why we adore the almighty cauliflower and how to use this misunderstood vegetable.

What can you do with cauliflower?

The better question might be: What can’t you do with it? Cauliflower is like the LBD (little black dress) of the veggie world. It’s so versatile. You can dress it up or down and take it anywhere. Cauliflower’s mild flavor and sturdy texture hold up well to many preparations. You can roast it, sauté it, steam it, rice it, and purée it.

Once cooked, it can feature in tacos, buffalo-drenched game day grub, or refined dinner party dishes. It can be a side dish, base layer, or centerpiece. Some restaurants even serve the whole head like a roast, front and center (an impressive move to make at home too).

Chowhound

It can work as a vegetarian substitute not only for steak and chicken, but for comforting, carb-heavy accompaniments like mashed potatoes, rice, and pizza crust too. And it can even be blended into a luscious but healthy vegan cream sauce.

What is the best way to cook cauliflower?

If you’re keeping your cauliflower intact or serving as a side (in the form of florets or cauliflower steaks), roasting is the best way to cook it. The excess water evaporates in the oven, resulting in a more concentrated, sweeter flavor. The outer layer browns and caramelizes into a crisp, nutty coating, giving way to a soft interior.

Many in the Chowhound community agree roasting is best. But you can also steam it, saute it (either the florets or riced cauliflower), or even batter and fry it. See the recipe section below for examples of all of the above, and then some. But don’t forget about pickled cauliflower either!

Is cauliflower good for you?

In a word, yes. Cauliflower is blossoming with antioxidants, fiber, and vitamins B6, C, and K, but is incredibly low in carbs, which makes it a close friend to paleo and keto eaters, as well as gluten-free folks. Since it’s high in fiber, it can also help you feel fuller and aid digestion, and it’s high in choline too. Healthline has more details on the health benefits of cauliflower.

Are there different kinds of cauliflower?

Yep! Cauliflower comes in more colors than the common white cloud/brain variety: orange, purple, and a spiraled, pointed lime green guise (a.k.a., cheddar cauliflower, graffiti cauliflower, and Romanesco, respectively).

Cauliflower Recipes

While roasting and adding a few spices is a wonderful way to give cauliflower its deserved respect (just see the first recipe below for proof), you can give cauliflower the lead in these interesting ways too:

1. Roasted Cauliflower with Tahini and Goji Berries

Chowhound

Nutty, earthy tahini and sweet goji berries give extra dimension to roasted cauliflower. The same flavors would work just as well if you want to roast the whole head of cauliflower or cut it into thick steaks. Get our Tahini Roasted Cauliflower recipe.

2. Buffalo Cauliflower with Blue Cheese Dressing

Chowhound

Consider these babies meat-free buffalo wings for game day. They’re battered in chickpea flour for a slightly crunchy texture, plus coated in buttery, spicy wing sauce and roasted in the oven. With a classic blue cheese dressing as dip, no one will miss the meat. Get our Buffalo Cauliflower with Blue Cheese Dressing recipe.

3. Cauliflower Rice

Brent Herrig

The Whole30 creators give us this base that you can change so many ways, from Asian cauliflower fried rice with sesame oil and green onions to Moroccan cauliflower rice with pine nuts and raisins. Whip out your food processor to pulse the halved florets into a rice-like consistency and steam that with some aromatics. Get the Cauliflower Rice recipe.

4. Cauliflower Gruyère Soup

Chowhound

Cauliflower transforms into a smooth, creamy soup that’s enriched with bouquet garni (a fancy French bundle of herbs), chicken stock, cream, and nutty-tasting gruyère cheese. Get our Cauliflower Gruyère Soup recipe.

5. Deviled Cauliflower Casserole

Chowhound

You can still get a great casserole with a creamy, spicy sauce and crunchy topping without resorting to cheese. What? Really. That’s the beauty of butter, flour, and milk, plus Dijon and cayenne. And you can swap in vegan butter and dairy-free milk if need be. Get our Deviled Cauliflower Casserole recipe.

6. Cauliflower Tacos

Chowhound

These little trees are coated in a savory concoction of cumin, paprika, chile powder, coriander, and salt, then roasted for maximum sweetness. Add in the lemon crema and cilantro slaw, and these tacos give you all the tart, savory, sweet, salty flavors and crunchy, soft, creamy textures you crave. Get our Cauliflower Tacos recipe.

7. Cauliflower Pizza Crust

Chowhound

No need to buy expensive wheat flour substitutes for making your own gluten-free pizza crust. When you process cauliflower, blanch it, and squeeze out the water, you can make a pizza dough substitute with creamy goat cheese, an egg, and some spices. Get our Cauliflower Pizza Crust recipe.

8. Curried Cauliflower, Chickpeas, and Tofu

Chowhound

This dish is packed with Indian flavor and provides the nutrition you need with meat-free protein and vegetables. You can either blend your own garam masala or buy the spice mix. Make brown rice instead of white if you want to avoid simple carbs. Get our Curried Cauliflower, Chickpeas, and Tofu recipe.

9. Creamy Mashed Cauliflower

Chowhound

Longtime low-carb lovers know this trick to satisfy your mashed potato needs. This version doesn’t taste like diet food. Steamed cauliflower is pureéd with a rich mix of cream cheese, butter, parmesan cheese, a vegetable bouillon cube, garlic, salt, and pepper. Get our Creamy Mashed Cauliflower recipe.

10. Cauliflower Hummus

Chowhound

If you’re on a keto or other low-carb diet, hummus might be something you miss. Luckily, cauliflower can take care of that craving too—well, okay, it’s not exactly the same as the usual chickpea hummus; in fact, it’s a whole lot different, what with goat cheese, sour cream, cream cheese, and Boursin in the mix. But it is creamy, fluffy, delicious, and perfect for dipping all your favorite veggies. Get our Cauliflower Hummus recipe.

11. Vegan Macaroni and Cheese with Roasted Veggies

Chowhound

A creamy vegan cheese sauce can be achieved in more than one way, but we like to puree coconut milk, nutritional yeast, and toasted walnuts before cooking them into a complex, creamy, and completely dairy-free sauce. It’s so good you’ll be licking the spoon, but pour plenty over pasta mixed with roasted cauliflower, broccoli, and caramelized onions too. (Even if you’re not vegan or dairy-free, it’s a great idea to add the roasted veggies to your next batch of mac and cheese.) Get our Vegan Macaroni and Cheese recipe.

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Buffalo Chicken Dip! Here's how to make buffalo chicken dip that's cheesy, creamy, and spicy. It's perfect for a Game Day party or tailgate, and ready in just 30 minutes.

Photography Credit: Megan Keno

It seems like everyone has their own particular version of Buffalo Chicken Dip – it’s a must-have appetizer for any football party, after all.

My family takes football season very seriously. But in truth, I’m just there for the food. With this buffalo chicken dip, I’m ready for kick-off!

Buffalo Chicken Dip Ingredients

Buffalo chicken dip takes the flavors of buffalo chicken wings and transforms them into one tasty party dip: hot sauce, chicken, and a creamy, tangy sauce made with cream cheese, sour cream, and shredded cheese.

Many recipes use bottled ranch dressing dressing to add extra flavor and creaminess, but my twist is to skip the bottled dressing and make the dressing from scratch.

Make Your Own Ranch Dressing!

Ranch dressing is so easy to make with basic pantry ingredients, so there’s really no need to ever buy the bottled version. This buffalo chicken dip uses a riff on Elise’s Homemade Ranch Dressing, but with sour cream instead of buttermilk. Sour cream (plus some cream cheese) gives the dip a thicker, creamier texture without compromising on flavor.

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Dip

I recommend making this dip in a stand mixer so that you can really beat the cream cheese and sour cream together and achieve maximum creamy texture. This also makes it easier to fully incorporate the shredded chicken into the cheesy sauce mixture so that you’re guaranteed a little bit in every bite.

After mixing everything together, just transfer to a baking dish and bake until bubbly! You can also refrigerate the dip before baking (covered) up do a day ahead. No need to let it come to room temperature before baking; just add a few extra minutes onto the baking time.

Top the hot dip with cilantro and blue cheese crumbles, and serve!

Tip for Quickly Shredding Chicken

To quickly shred the chicken needed for this recipe, just add your cooked chicken breasts to the bowl of a stand mixer outfitted with a paddle attachment. Turn the mixer on low and shred the chicken to the desired consistency. Place the chicken on a plate and set aside. No need to wash out the bowl before continuing with this buffalo chicken dip recipe.

What To Serve with Buffalo Chicken Dip

I love serving this dip with cubes of crusty artisan bread or slices of baguette, but crackers or chips work just as well. Raw veggies like celery or carrot sticks are also a fun option, especially if you need to keep the dip gluten-free.

More Great Party Appetizers!

Updated September 1, 2018 : We spiffed up this post a little to make it sparkle! No significant changes to the recipe.

Buffalo Chicken Dip Recipe

Make sure your cream cheese has softened to room temperature before making this recipe; this makes it easier to mix with the other ingredients.

Ingredients

Super Bowl Appetizers that Won’t Stretch your Waistline

The Super Bowl might have originally been about football, but it’s become so much more than that. The party itself is often better than the game! One thing is for certain, though: As you celebrate the funniest commercials and cheer on your favorite team, you’ll be surrounded by temptation. Fat-filled dips, boozy drinks, and unhealthy snacks will surround you, provoking you to break you diet and wellness plan. You don’t have to worry, though, because you can have a guilt-free Super Bowl experience! Just bring one of these Super Bowl appetizers that won’t stretch your waistline.

The best thing about these recipes is that everyone will enjoy them! They’re skinnied-up versions of your favorite snacks, but we made smart ingredient swaps so you can barely tell the difference between them and the original. We swap saturated-fat-laden chicken wings for cauliflower, and use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. You’ll never tell the difference, but you’ll still get your fill of creamy, comforting appetizers. So get ready to snack-away with your friends and family, and be prepared for more than one person to ask you for your secret recipe!

1. 30-Minute Buffalo Cauliflower Bites

Chicken wings are a classic Super Bowl food, but they’re not exactly great for your health. The skin and fat contain a ton of saturated fat, and the calorie-rich classic blue cheese and ranch dips will wreak havoc on your diet goals. Luckily, this Buffalo Cauliflower Bites recipes delivers all the flavor of wings without the negative nutritional impact! They’re also vegetarian friendly, which many of your party guests will probably appreciate.

2. 2-Minute Creamy Avocado Dip

No Super Bowl party is complete without guacamole! Make your guac even healthier by making this Taste of Yum recipe. It skips popular high-fat ingredient (olive oil) in lieu of healthy Greek yogurt. The end result is completely delicious and satisfying. You may never make classic guac again after trying this tasty recipe!

3. Stuffed Bell Pepper Pizzas

These Stuffed Bell Pepper Pizzas are perfectly portion sized, making them one of our favorite Super Bowl appetizers that won’t stretch your waistline. You’ll get the cheesiest, most savory bite in a gluten-free, low-calorie package. It doesn’t get better than that!

4. Easy Elote Dip

Everyone loves the flavor of Mexican street corn, also known as elotes. It’s the perfect combination of sweet corn, spicy jalapeños, and salty cheese, but it’s usually full of unhealthy mayonnaise. This Gimme Some Oven dip uses healthy Greek yogurt instead, creating a healthy-yet-delicious appetizer that’s perfect for this year’s Super Bowl party. Everyone will love it, and no one will guess it’s healthy!

5. Asparagus, Cherry Tomato, and Feta Tart

Instead of ordering a pizza for the big game, look to this Asparagus, Cherry Tomato, and Feta Tart instead. It has a fraction of the calories as take-out or delivery pizza, but it definitely has a ton of savory, satisfying flavor. You’ll love it, and your party guests will, too!

6. 3 Ingredient Vegan Queso

This dairy-free vegan queso dip from Pinch of Yum will soon become one of your favorite Super Bowl appetizers that won’t stretch your waistline. All you need is some soaked cashews, spicy green chilies, and taco seasoning. The combination tastes exactly like cheese without using any dairy at all. It’s simple, delicious, plant-based, and healthy!

7. Homemade Avocado and Onion Chip Dip

You can’t have enough have enough avocado options at a Super Bowl party, and this recipe healthfully combines two of our favorite dips: avocado and onion dip. Since we use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and keep the unhealthy fats to a minimum, you can enjoy this dip completely guilt-free!

8. Sweet Potato Fries

Who needs unhealthy chips or greasy french fries when you have a healthier version? Make this Gimme Some Oven recipe for your next party and wow your guests with the superfood version of their favorite snack food. It’s perfect for dipping into the healthy dips on this list, too!

9. Skinny Cheeseburger Boats

We figured out a way to deliver all the flavor of your favorite cheeseburger with a fraction of the calories! By cutting out the bun and keeping the portion sizes tight, we made this guilty snack into a fantastic option for Super Bowl appetizers that won’t stretch your waistline. Once you’ve tried these mini cheeseburgers, you’ll know this recipe is a winner!

10. Bacon Wrapped Dates with Goat Cheese

Tangy goat cheese, smokey bacon, and sweet dates fill out these delicious-yet-healthy appetizers. This recipe from Taste of Yum has something for everyone, and they’re so good that no one would assume they’re actually healthy! You can even swap in turkey bacon if you want to make them even healthier.

11 Cheesy Chicken Chili Dip

Dips are an essential part of a Super Bowl party, but that doesn’t mean you have to feel guilty about it! This Cheesy Chicken Chili Dip delivers everything you love about cheesy dips: creamy, spicy, ooey-gooey goodness. But, unlike other cheese dips, our version only has 166 calories per serving. Sounds like a winner to me!

12. Buffalo Cauliflower Dip

The more ways you can mimic unhealthy Super Bowl classics, the better! This Buffalo Cauliflower Dip from Gimme Some Oven will totally remind you guests of buffalo wings, but without all the extra saturated fats. Instead, it’s a vegetarian-friendly dip that’s packed full of your favorite flavors.

13. Avocado Stuffed Deviled Eggs

Almost every tailgating party I go to has deviled eggs on the buffet line. Usually, they’re packed full of mayonnaise and other fatty ingredients. Instead of doing something typical, choose Super Bowl appetizers that won’t stretch your waistline, like these Avocado Stuffed Deviled Eggs. We keep the ingredients list clean and don’t use any mayonnaise at all! Just boiled eggs, creamy avocado, and a few tasty spices.

14. Vegan Mega-Burritos

If you’re looking for a more substantial recipe to serve as Super Bowl appetizers that won’t stretch your waistline, look to these vegan burritos from Pinch of Yum. They’re packed full of delicious flavor, and the combination of sweet potatoes, cauliflower, and avocado will fill you up and keep you feeling fill for hours!

Review: Loaded Mashed Potato Hot Dog in Magic Kingdom! Plus Potato-Topped… Potatoes?!?

So, if you’re thinking, “I sure could go for some potatoes…” well, then, Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom has a little something (or two!) for you!

Loaded Mashed Potato Fries and Hot Dog

The Featured Hot Diggity Dog of the Month for October is the Loaded Mashed Potato Hot Dog! And when we heard about it, we knew we had to try it.

Loaded Mashed Potato Hot Diggity Dog sign

As with all the other hot dogs at Casey’s, you can order it in regular size or in a Foot-Long, which is what you see here.

Loaded Mashed Potato Hot Diggity Dog

Topping the all-beef hot dog are garlic mashed potatoes, caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, bacon, scallions and sour cream, and green onions.

Loaded Mashed Potato Hot Diggity Dog

First of all, they don’t skimp on the toppings on these over-the-top dogs, and this month’s Featured Dog is no exception.

Loaded Mashed Potato Hot Diggity Dog

But wait… there’s more. For a while now, Casey’s has also been serving Monthly Special Loaded Fries. That means you can get the toppings of the Featured Hot Dog on top of French Fries instead. You can purchase them on their own, or upgrade your Hot Dog meal with them for an additional $2.20.

Casey’s Corner Menu

So that means that this month, you’ve got yourself a heaping helping of Loaded Mashed Potato French Fries!

Loaded Mashed Potato Fries

Now, in both cases, the mashed potatoes themselves are quite tasty, with a really nice amount of garlic. And the flavors go well with the hot dog — it’s salty, for sure, but with just a hint of sweetness from the caramelized onions. I thought the texture would be super weird, and I also thought it looked off-putting at first.

Loaded Mashed Potato Hot Diggity Dog

But the mashed potatoes were so soft, it ended up working like a dip, of sorts. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but it was pretty good!

Unfortunately, though, the garlic still didn’t lend enough flavor variety to the French Fries, which ended up being a case of potato overload. (And I love potatoes.)

Loaded Mashed Potato Fries

We’ve seen everything from Cheetos-topped Dogs to Buffalo Chicken Dogs and more at Casey’s as of late. And it sure keeps us wondering, “What will Casey think of next month?”

You’ll find Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom on Main Street, U.S.A. Take a Food Tour of all the food stops on Main Street in our DFB YouTube Video!

A Super Bowl Masterpiece: Bo Ssam-Style Pulled Por...

New Post has been published on http://kitchengadgetsreviews.com/a-super-bowl-masterpiece-bo-ssam-style-pulled-por/

A Super Bowl Masterpiece: Bo Ssam-Style Pulled Por...

amzn_assoc_placement = "adunit0"; amzn_assoc_tracking_id = "c8415-20"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = "search"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = "smart"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = "amazon"; amzn_assoc_region = "US"; amzn_assoc_title = "Shop Related Products"; amzn_assoc_default_search_phrase = "cooking"; amzn_assoc_default_category = "Kitchen"; amzn_assoc_linkid = "51fe4d035c7af8dc5928e6f5e5b79c4e"; amzn_assoc_default_browse_node = "284507"; amzn_assoc_rows = "4"; amzn_assoc_design = "text_links";

On this week’s episode of the Bon Appétit Foodcast, food director Carla Lalli Music, editor in chief Adam Rapoport, and Adam’s friend Gabe Tesoriero (a music exec and excellent home cook who has somewhat inexplicably become a semi-regular on the show) talk about how to create the ultimate Super Bowl menu. They are loud and opinionated in a playoff-style game, pitting specific dishes against each other in the categories of appetizers, mains, drinks, and desserts until they arrive at one winner in each (well, except for appetizers, where there are two winners, because a Super Bowl party with one appetizer is a Super Bowl party nobody wants to attend).

There was queso versus pimiento cheese, chips and guacamole versus nachos, meatball subs versus cheesesteaks, cheap beer versus craft beer… The list goes on.

Photo by Alex Lau

Time to assemble.

One category, though, stumped them: bo ssam (a Korean dish of pork wrapped in lettuce leaves with rice, kimchi, and a variety of sauces) versus pulled pork sandwiches with slaw. After a bit of back-and-forth, the three decided to combine the two into one dish that can only be described as absurdly delicious. Bo ssam-style pulled pork sandwiches.

“I make bo ssam all the time as dinner party food and it always wows the guests,” says Gabe. “People that have never had it lose it, and people that have had it mark it in their calendar.” But bo ssam needs a full table. You have to assemble your wraps multiple times with all the accoutrements, passing kimchi and rice and lettuce around. It’s not as easy to eat on the couch, watching the Super Bowl, with a coffee table crammed with dips and chips and cans of beers. And so this bo ssam-style pulled pork sandwich was born, leaving all the other mains in the dust.

Here’s how to make it:

Start with your pork. The recipe we love comes from Momofuku, with a glazed, little-bit-sweet, little-bit-salty outer crust and falling-apart tender meat on the inside. The process takes a couple of days because you have to salt the meat and leave it in the fridge overnight, but the beauty of it is that if you think ahead, it requires very little else—just a quick rub down of salt and sugar, and then a bunch of hands-off, hanging out time in the oven (besides the very occasional basting of the juices that slowly but surely emerge from the meat). By the time your guests come over, you’ll have prepped all the other pieces of the sandwich and all that will be left to do is assemble.

Speaking of all those other pieces of the sandwich, here’s what else to make. First, a ginger scallion sauce, which in the case of this recipe is tossed with ramen noodles. Ignore the ramen noodle part and make it as a stand-alone condiment.

Next comes a cilantro mayo, which is mayo (we like Hellman’s), a bunch of chopped up cilantro, and lime juice. We like it heavy on the lime to balance out the fat, but taste as you go until it’s to your liking.

After that, there’s kimchi slaw. We combined napa cabbage, mild chili flakes, grated ginger, grated garlic, sesame oil, seasoned rice vinegar, and fish sauce. But you can also grab a jar of kimchi at the store (or here) and your sandwiches will be no worse off for it.

Speaking of the store, the rest of the ingredients are all items to purchase: bread and butter pickles, a few jalapeños that you’ll slice up for people who like extra heat, sprigs of cilantro to bring brightness, and hoisin sauce for that funky, sweet, umami element. Oh, and of course, Martin’s potato rolls to somehow contain the mess of glorious components going inside.

Now Super Bowl party on.

37 Super Bowl Favorites That You Need at Your Party

Alex Lau

BA’s Best Buffalo Wings

Two key steps ensure extra-crisp wings: letting them sit at room temperature evens the cooking time, and the cornstarch dredge transforms into a crunchy shell when fried. If you like your wing sauce super spicy, increase the amount of cayenne in our best hot wings recipe. This is part of BA’s Best, a collection of our essential recipes.

Laura Murray

Bob Armstrong Chile con Queso

The signature dish at Matt’s El Rancho in Austin, Texas, named after former Texas land commissioner Bob Armstrong, who one day asked them to make him “something different.” What resulted was a now-legendary layered dip of taco meat, queso, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo. Important: Don’t used aged or extra-sharp cheddar, which is drier and doesn’t melt smoothly.

Alex Lau

Party-Ready Italian Heros

Visit an Italian deli and splurge on the cold cuts, but hit the supermarket for everything else, including the not-too-crusty rolls that are usually loaded into bins in the bakery section.

Matt Duckor

Alex Lau

Laura Murray

Manicotti

There are two types of stuffed manicotti in the world. One is made with large tubular dried pasta, and the other uses a thin crepe (crespelle in Italian) instead. Both are filled before baking. This recipe is the second kind, and the delicate crepes deliver a lightness that you just don’t get from baked pasta. That said, it’s a process, so do what Brad does: “Double the recipe and freeze one of the trays. Trust me.” And here’s why he calls this manicotti the greatest recipe of all time!

Bobbi Lin

Beef Chili

It’s faster and easier to brown the meat in larger pieces first and chop them afterward. Using intact dried chiles instead of jarred powders contributes a more complex flavor and a saturated color. Adding lager imparts just the right amount of bitterness, rounding out the chiles. This is a part of our Super Bowl party menu—see the rest of the recipes here.

Alex Lau

Vincent Cross

Giant Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie

The batter for this large-format dreamboat of a cookie (crunchy on the edges, chewy in the middle) is made in one bowl with no special equipment, and can be baked in either a cast-iron or large skillet.

Laura Murray

Juicy Lucy Sliders

We’re obsessed with Juicy Lucys, cheese-filled burgers that originated in Minnesota. Here’s our recipe for sliders—appetizers that you can make super-decadent by melting some butter in the skillet before toasting the potato rolls.

Alex Lau

BA’s Best Onion Rings

The secret to our best onion rings is a batter made with beer and club soda; make sure both are very cold before stirring into the batter. This is part of BA’s Best, a collection of our essential recipes.

Alex Lau

Easy Veggie Pizza

What better way to sneak a few more veggies into the day than on top of a super-quick pizza?

Alex Lau

Cheesesteaks

Look for short ribs with the most marbling possible for these cheesesteaks; if you really want to splash out, use boneless rib eye.

Laura Murray

Cheesy Monkey Bread

Start with cold dough—instead of warm or room-temperature—so that the cheese mixture doesn’t melt.

Alex Lau

Black-Bottom Brownies

For the neatest, cleanest edges, freeze the brownies for 15 minutes so they’re nice and firm before cutting, and dip your knife in hot water between each slice.

©Romulo Yanes

Bacon Deviled Eggs

Want to take your deviled eggs recipe to the next level? One word: bacon.

Cedric Angeles

BA Party Mix

More colorful than the bagged stuff (and you can make a triple batch and eat it forever).

Alex Lau

BA’s Best Guacamole

It takes a while for the avocado to absorb all the flavors you add to it. So if you ever find yourself wondering if your guac is spicy (or salty, or lime-y) enough, wait a few minutes before you add more so that you don’t accidentally overseason it. This is part of BA’s Best, a collection of our essential recipes.

Kenji Toma

Christina Holmes

Laura Murray

Beer Cheese

To bring the beer to room temperature faster and make it flat, you can whisk it on the stovetop over low heat or heat in a microwave in short increments, stirring in between. Or, you know, just use the open bottle that you left sitting on the coffee table all night.

Alex Lau

BA’s Best Fried Chicken Sandwich

This sandwich is engineered for maximum impact. Each element is awesome, but it’s the way they come together that puts it over the top. Mmmmm, yeah. This is part of BA’s Best, a collection of our essential recipes.

Jarren Vink

Bobbi Lin

Classic Skillet Cornbread

Don’t expect something sweet and muffiny here. We follow the three tenets of traditional Southern cornbread: There’s no sugar added, there’s no flour (only course-ground cornmeal), and there’s no better way to bake it than in a cast-iron skillet. This rustic cornbread is sturdy and dry and meant to be dunked, like say in this beef chili. Serve it with this hot honey butter. See more Super Bowl recipes here.

Jarren Vink

Matt Duckor

Crispy Potato Skins

Crispy, cheesy, bacon-y—they’re an irresistible Super Bowl snack. So irresistible, in fact, that you may want to make a double batch of this potato skins recipe.

Alex Lau

BA’s Best Peanut Butter Cookies

What makes this peanut butter cookie recipe The Best? Well, there’s a few reasons actually. We call for natural peanut butter so that you can dial the sugar and salt amounts exactly. Instead of just adding roasted peanuts from the can, we roast them a second time for even more peanutty flavor. And the pan of water in the oven creates a burst of steam that gives the finished cookies the perfect crunchy-chewy texture. Now you know! This is part of BA’s Best, a collection of our essential recipes.

Alex Lau

Sausage Meatball Sandwiches

We like the combo of spicy and sweet Italian sausage, but use any uncooked sausage you like—merguez or chorizo would work. This is part of BA’s Best, a collection of our essential recipes.

Alex Lau

Spinach Artichoke Dip

Be sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the spinach. Adding spinach that is too wet could upset the creamy harmony of the rest of the ingredients. This is part of BA’s Best, a collection of our essential recipes.

Brandon Harman

Pocho Taco

The nostalgic ground meat filling has obvious upgrades; the charred tomato salsa should be in heavy rotation.

Marcus Nilsson

Slow-Fried French Fries

The slow-frying method is revolutionary. Try this French fries recipe and you’ll never “fast” fry your potatoes again.

Alex Lau

Three Onion Dip

Onions are loaded with umami flavor, as are anchovies, mushrooms, and Worcestershire sauce. Together, they make this dip especially hard to resist.

Alex Lau

Mozzarella Sticks

If you’re short on dried herbs for this mozzarella sticks recipe, just compensate by using more of another. But please, don’t use pre-seasoned fine crumbs; the crunch factor will suffer. This is part of BA’s Best, a collection of our essential recipes.

Alex Lau

Gentl & Hyers

The BA Muffuletta

It feeds a crowd, gets better as it sits, and is a hearty meal built inside a loaf of bread. About that bread: Unless you live in New Orleans and can get the real thing, opt for a ciabatta or other loaf with a sturdy but not too crusty exterior.

Photo by Laura Murray

Grandma Knowlton’s Pimiento Cheese

Known as the “caviar of the South,” this pimiento cheese recipe can be used as a dip for a party, or spread it on a sandwich for the ultimate grilled cheese.
