Weeknight Meals
Pot Luck Soup
This dish uses three vegetable-bin staples: onions, celery, and carrots. If you don't have any canned broth on hand, dissolve a bouillon cube in water.
Spiced Roast Chicken Breast
This chicken makes a flavorful meal when combined with the Jasmine Rice and Carrot and Radish Salad . Steamed green beans and carrots would also make good sides.
Grilled Pompano and Shrimp with Lemon, Olives, and Bay Leaves
Although bay leaves in this recipe smell delicious and look enticing, they should not be eaten because of their sharp edges.
Potato Pancake Wedges with Zucchini and Sage
Rather than frying many batches of small latkes on the stove, you can prepare two large ones that are browned in the oven, then cut into wedges. Offer the Three-Apple Applesauce alongside.
Onion, Anchovy, and Olive Pizzas
The following recipe was inspired by pissaladière, the Niçoise tart that features a similar topping.
Sauté of Spring Peas with Tarragon
For a pretty decorative touch, snip a V at one end of each snow pea.
Peking-Style Chicken Wraps
In this recipe, tortillas are a supermarket stand-in for mandarin pancakes.
