Here’s the thing about spices: most people have too many of them. There’s a jar of za’atar from 2019, some ground allspice purchased for one recipe, and approximately fourteen half-empty bottles of chili powder at various stages of staleness. None of it is doing anything useful. Every seasoning on this list lives in my kitchen…
Chicken Alfredo Sloppy Joes are what happens when someone looks at a rotisserie chicken and a jar of Alfredo sauce on the same Tuesday night and decides to make something that sounds like it came off a restaurant menu instead of out of desperation. The result — creamy garlic Alfredo sauce wrapped around shredded chicken,…
The bacon, egg, and cheese quesadilla is what happens when someone takes the best part of a breakfast sandwich — the ratio of egg to cheese to salty, fatty meat — and puts it inside a buttered, crispy tortilla instead of a soft bun that gets soggy by the time you finish eating it. It’s…
Ham and Swiss pinwheels are one of the most underestimated no-cook dinners on the planet. Everyone thinks of them as a party appetizer or a kids’ lunch — something you make for a baby shower platter or stuff into a school lunchbox. Nobody is thinking of them at 6:30pm on a Tuesday when they’re standing…
BBQ mac and cheese is the answer to the question nobody thought to ask: what if pulled pork and mac and cheese weren’t two separate dishes that you serve alongside each other, but one actual dinner? The answer, it turns out, is one of the better meals you can put on a weeknight table —…
A turkey and brie sandwich on a good baguette is one of those meals that sounds like lunch but functions perfectly as dinner — especially on a weeknight when neither of you has the bandwidth to actually cook anything. The combination of creamy brie, sliced deli turkey, crisp apple, Dijon, and peppery arugula is doing…
Ground beef quesadillas are one of those things you grew up eating — either at Taco Bell or at someone’s kitchen counter at 9pm — and somehow never thought to make at home. Which is a shame, because the homemade version takes 25 minutes, costs a fraction of what you’d spend going out, and produces…
A Philly cheesesteak quesadilla is not a particularly subtle idea, but it is a genuinely good one. You take the two things that make a cheesesteak worth eating — the thinly shaved beef and the obscene amount of melted cheese — and put them in a format that’s faster to make, easier to eat, and…
Buffalo chicken quesadillas are a category that almost everyone makes with just buffalo sauce and shredded cheese in a tortilla. That version is fine. This version has cream cheese in the filling, and the difference is significant enough that it deserves its own recipe. The cream cheese does three things. It tempers the heat from…
A steak and caramelized onion quesadilla recipe with caramelized onions sounds like it should be a twenty-minute weeknight dinner. Most of it is. The steak takes ten minutes. Building and toasting the quesadillas takes ten minutes. The caramelized onions take twenty-five minutes, and that number is not negotiable, and understanding why changes how you cook…
