Vegan Potato Salad

This vegan potato salad calls for a homemade mayonnaise with an aquafaba base| New Window. It’s an inexpensive alternative to store-bought, dairy-free mayonnaise, and it—along with this salad—is a great use for something that you might otherwise discard after opening a can of chickpeas. The mayonnaise is both lighter and thinner than conventional, store-bought mayonnaise; it gives the potato salad richness without a heavy mouthfeel, and it’s pleasantly tangy as-is—no sour cream needed.

Sheet Pan Chicken Fried Rice

There’s really a lot to love about sheet-pan dinners. As a category, these recipes tend to be pretty hands-off, easy to assemble, and have minimal clean-up. When the day has been busy or I just don’t want to have to fuss over the stove, sheet pan recipes are my go-tos. While dinner roasts in the oven, the table can be set, a DuoLingo streak can be managed, or a cocktail can be mixed. If I am feeling industrious, I can quickly clean up the cutting board and any bowls I may have used.

Party Appetizer Meatballs

These are a favorite at parties and gatherings. The recipe is easy, and the meatballs can be made well ahead of time and frozen until needed. I think what makes them taste so good is the sauce.
