Oatmeal-Glazed Breakfast Cake

This hearty cake is packed with oats, flavored with cinnamon and topped with a warm glaze made with more oats, shredded coconut and nuts. We used pecans, but feel free to use whatever you have on hand. It's a great way to clean out the pantry and simple enough for kids to help with. Bake one on a Sunday and enjoy it all week long for breakfast or as a snack! It's delicious at room temperature or lightly warmed in the microwave.

Pizza Dough

This recipe, adapted from Roberta’s, the pizza and hipster haute-cuisine utopia in Bushwick, Brooklyn, provides a delicate, extraordinarily flavorful dough that will last in the refrigerator for up to a week. It rewards close attention to weight rather than volume in the matter of the ingredients, and asks for a mixture of finely ground Italian pizza flour (designated “00” on the bags and available in some supermarkets, many specialty groceries and always online) and regular all-purpose flour. As ever with breads, rise time will depend on the temperature and humidity of your kitchen and refrigerator.

Popcorn Bucket Cookies

These candy-studded cookies take all the fun of your favorite concession stand players and bake them right into and atop a simple sugar dough. Toffee bits feature in a supporting role, never overshadowing the stars (the popcorn and candy, of course). If using gummy candy, be sure to save them for the top; otherwise, the cookies will spread too much as they bake. Feel free to play around with the mix, but make sure your popcorn (microwave or stovetop) is freshly popped for a crisper and more even coating.

Lime Marinated Grilled Chicken

Recipe video above. This lime marinade has a beautiful depth of flavour and really infuses the chicken with lime flavours! Touch of sugar caramelises the chicken, and depth of flavour is achieved by using soy or fish sauce instead of salt (it doesn't taste Asiany at all, I swear!). Stove or BBQ best, but can also bake!

Speedy Skillet Ravioli Lasagna From Grace Parisi

Unlike your average weekend lasagna layering project, this recipe is all cooked in one pan—quick tomato sauce, pasta, and all. And it all happens very fast, thanks to frozen ravioli, the only pasta that has the layers of cheese tucked right inside. Note that every brand of ravioli is a little bit different, so it's a good idea to taste and season as you go. In Lasagna: A Baked Pasta Cookbook, Taste senior editor Anna Hezel writes: "Thanks to a little help from a package of frozen ravioli, you can pull a skillet of toasty, bubbly lasagna from the oven in a little more than half an hour. In this ingenious one pan supper (shout-out to Grace Parisi, the brains behind the recipe!), you make a tomato sauce right in the same skillet you use to bake the whole thing, and the ravioli—layered with mozzarella and Parm—cooks and soaks up the tomato flavor at the same time the starch from the pasta thickens the sauce. Now, Grace, can you please work on an airfryer lasagna recipe for Lasagna, the sequel?" Recipe from Lasagna: A Baked Pasta Cookbook (Clarkson Potter, September 2019).

Sheet-Pan Italian Dressing Chicken Thighs

Roasted sheet-pan chicken thighs are a staple for easy weeknight dinners year-round. This version features flavor powerhouse Ken’s Northern Italian Dressing two ways: as a marinade and as a luscious pan sauce (once it’s combined with the chicken drippings). The red bell pepper, sweet basil, and Romano cheese in the dressing add so much flavor to the dish, and the marinade really tenderizes the meat. To serve, I like to make a refreshing yet comforting pea and basil panzanella salad. The peas are roasted in the same sheet pan as the chicken, then tossed with basil and toasted torn bread so everything soaks up that pan sauce goodness. If you’ve got any leftover chicken thighs and peas, they taste great thrown together with pasta or mixed greens the next day.

Baked Pasta with Chicken Sausage

This recipe is adapted from Al Forno's famous baked pasta method -- it uses less cream and cheese, and incorporates a hearty sausage ragu for a more tomatoey pasta. A word of advice: if you're not going to bake off the finished dish right away, boil the pasta for even less time than the instructions call for (like 2-3 minutes). As the pasta lies cradled in delicious sauce in the fridge it will continue to soften, and you don't want it to turn to mush.

Chicken and Chickpea Tray Bake

This easy chicken sheet-pan supper brings bold, warming flavors with minimal fuss. Tossed with ras el hanout, the chicken roasts alongside potatoes, sweet peppers and chickpeas, creating a richly flavored dish that practically makes its own sauce. The sheet pan may look crowded, but everything melts beautifully together as it cooks. The peppers, potatoes and chickpeas simmer gently in the oil, while the chicken sits halfway in, its skin staying crispy as the juices mingle below. Any chickpeas peeking out get delightfully crisp, while the rest confit in the oil, becoming soft and smooth. A finishing drizzle of sherry vinegar adds a bright, tangy kick, balancing the warm spices and bringing out the dish’s deep roasted flavours. Best of all, the prep is simple, and the oven does the rest, making this perfect for a cozy midweek dinner that still feels special.

Creamy Macaroni and Cheese

There are two schools of thought about macaroni and cheese: Some like it crusty and extra-cheesy (here’s our recipe), while others prefer it smooth and creamy. But most people are delighted by any homemade macaroni and cheese. It is light years ahead of the boxed versions. This creamy version has one powerful advantage for the cook: There’s no need to preboil the pasta. It cooks in the oven, absorbing the liquid from the dairy products.
