Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowls
With lots of fiber and slow-digesting carbs, these breakfast bowls won’t put you into a sugar coma.

Tomato Galette
Salting the tomatoes ahead of time and letting them release some of their liquid is essential. It will allow the tomatoes to caramelize and ensures that the bottom of the crust stays flaky.

Roasted Red Pepper Frittata
A well-seasoned cast-iron pan is your friend here. If, despite your best efforts, the frittata sticks when you turn it out, just flip it back over so that any imperfections are hidden underneath.

Cucumber and Peach Salad with Herbs
You can use various heirloom cucumbers for this savory-sweet salad recipe; if you can find them, flaunt them.

Any Way Niçoise
Switch up this endlessly riffable salad to suit your preferences, but try to always include a mix of cooked and raw vegetables for the best textures.

Pan con Tomate
Spoiler alert: We broke with tradition. Instead of rubbing toast with cut tomatoes, we grated the tomatoes to make a raw sauce that the bread can really absorb.

Green Goddess Crunch Sandwich
This picnic-ready sandwich is basically a salad between two slices of bread. With an herby yogurt smear, tons of feel-good sprouts, and buttery avocado, it has major California vibes.

Tomato-and-Cheese Cobbler
Salting the tomatoes for 15 minutes before roasting seasons them properly and helps remove any excess liquid that could potentially waterlog the filling.

Mai Tai Rum Babas
There's nothing better than puffy yeasted buns saturated in rum syrup, especially when it's inspired by the citrusy Mai Tai cocktail.

Honeydew Salad With Ginger Dressing and Peanuts
This all-green salad gets a kick from serrano, ginger, and just a hint of fish sauce. Keep the melon ice-cold for maximum contrast.

Cantaloupe With Sugar Snap Peas and Ricotta Salata
Seek out a slightly underripe cantaloupe for this salty-sweet, crunchy, and juicy summer side; firmer flesh makes it easier to slice into ribbons.
By Anna Stockwell
Stone Fruit Clafoutis
This super-easy French dessert is the perfect vacation option. Choose juicy cherries or fragrant apricots—or a mix of both.
