These burgers are quite fragile until after they are baked, so use extra care when flipping them for the first time. I found it works best if I let them rest out of the oven for at least 5 minutes before trying to loosen them from the pans. Use high-quality nonstick baking sheets for this recipe or line your baking sheets with silicone liners or parchment paper.

Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.

The tofu is crunchy on the outside, in part thanks to a panko-studded exterior, and squishy-in-a-good-way on the inside. It also comes together in 20 minutes.
Sfouf (Semolina Turmeric Cake)
Semolina flour and turmeric give this simple cake a sunny hue and nutty flavor.
Beef Stroganoff Ramen
