Carrot-Apple Muffins With Orange Glaze Recipe
These tender, lightly sweetened whole-grain muffins have a special can’t-put-your-finger-on-it flavor thanks to garam masala. Look for garam masala in the spice aisle; large spice brands make it. If you don’t have it or can’t find it, you can substitute an equal amount of cinnamon. → Read More

Peach-Vanilla Slab Pie Recipe
The next time you need a dessert for a crowd--backyard barbecue, picnic, block party--think slab pie. You'll need to roll the dough out so that it's very thin; to make this easier, you can roll it out on parchment paper and place the whole thing, including the paper, in the pan. → Read More

Greek Chicken and Rice Skillet
Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Heat a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove chicken from pan (chicken will not be done at this point). → Read More
Chicken-Asparagus Piccata
Classic chicken piccata gets a seasonal spin with the addition of asparagus. A barely-there coating of cornstarch gives the chicken a crisp exterior texture and helps to keep the interior moist. Be sure to add the lemon juice at the very end; if it is on the asparagus too long, it will discolor the usually vibrant vegetable. Serve over brown rice or quinoa to soak up all the delicious sauce. → Read More
Grapefruit Gin and Tonic
Bitterness rating: 4/10. Though we love the blushing pink color from Ruby Red grapefruit, you also can use a yellow-fleshed variety, which will likely be less sweet. We find that a London-style gin works best here; the floral flavors of more botanical styles (such as new-wave gins) are likely to overpower the taste of the grapefruit. → Read More
Steak Fajita Chili
Make this staff-favorite one of your go-to dutch-oven dinners this fall. Tougher cuts of meat, like chuck-eye turn meltingly soft, root vegetables make the stew rich and hearty, and a dollop of greek yogurt adds just the right amount of tang, to cut through the rich sauce and brighten the meal. → Read More

Get Ready for Warmer Weather With These 147-Calorie Cilantro-Lime Margaritas
Skip the super-sugary margarita mix and welcome the warmer weather with this twist on a classic margarita. Lime and cilantro could be no better partners.
