Maple and sage are reserved for the fall no more! My family devours these sweet and savory chicken fillets in the summer—or any time.

Macaroons go on a sunny walk through a forest -- and come back refreshed

I used jalapeno pepper jelly to make the somewhat predictable duo of lamb and mint a little more exciting, and it paid off in a big way!

A gorgeous apple upside-down cake to add to your autumn dessert list.

I asked for this recipe about 45 years ago from one of my mother's friends when we lived on an Air Force Base in Okinawa. I had just begun to bake and the recipe is so easy that it was a success on my first try. With a few tweaks, I've been baking it ever since.

Stuffed zucchini boats are quick, easy and low-carb, making them the perfect vessel (literally) for your garden's summer bounty.

We loved the idea of fondue made with chocolate and cajeta (a close cousin of dulce de leche), and when we saw that hardlikearmour used coconut milk to make her cajeta, well -- there was no holding us back. Her fondue is silken and almost custardy, punctuated with rum and vanilla and generously salted, the way we like caramel to be. Not surprisingly, it is quite rich and sweet, and we found our favorite dipping instrument ended up being salty, extra-dark pretzels. We highly recommend you try the combination.

My husband had a poor perception of healthy food until he tried this beefy casserole. The combination of pasta, oregano, mushrooms and green peppers makes it a favorite healthy pasta recipe in our house.

For a fast and flavorful dinner, look no further than this Spanish rice with ground beef—it's the ultimate one-skillet dinner when you only have 20 minutes to cook.

Hardlikearmour has accomplished something truly admirable with this recipe; she's made cream puffs approachable. She cleverly presses the food processor into service to cool down the dough and then incorporate the eggs; purists will insist on stirring by hand, but this technique proves the elbow grease method simply isn't necessary. She also uses an extra egg white for her puffs, reserving the yolk for glazing the tops. (Shirley Corriher explains that extra white makes for bigger puffs that don't get too gooey inside, and these certainly fit the bill). The dense cream filling is decidedly more boozy than chocolately, but that was fine with us! Who wouldn't want one of these sugar-dusted puffs to help sustain them while waiting in line for yet another go on the ferris wheel?

The more I shop at the local farmers' market (we have four each week) and find the best sources for local and organic produce, our meals radiate with simple fruits, vegetables, and good-quality meats. Sadly rhubarb is just passing the peak and strawberries are giving way to other summer berries. This is one last hurrah to the first sweet bounty of the season. I'm regretfully used to overly sweetened rhubarb dishes that tend to mask the bite that rhubarb offers. This, thankfully, is not one of those sugar-laden dishes. The rhubarb is delightfully roasted, holds its shape, and is complemented with a delicious syrup. Simplicity at it its finest.

Learn how to make pho, the Vietnamese noodle soup with rice noodles and fragrant garnishes. Seasoned with cinnamon, star anise and cardamom, our aromatic, from-scratch beef broth really makes this pho recipe stand out.

Jalapeno popper chicken casserole layers Tater Tots, peppers, cheese, bacon and rotisserie chicken together to make an easy, decadent meal.

Back in 2008, I won first place in a state fair cooking contest with this chicken marsala pasta. I absolutely love mushrooms, and this dish is full of them! You can substitute Italian dressing mix for the ranch with equally delicious results.

This cheese-stuffed Juicy Lucy burger gives us a whole new reason to love summertime grilling.

My family loves the flavors of these zippy kabobs. I usually grill them outside, but if it's cold or rainy, I love cooking them in my air fryer.
