Korean Beef Stir Fry
Stir frying is an excellent way to get dinner on the table in a hurry. This recipe uses thin slices of beef for a fast and filling meal.
Linguine with Cacio e Pepe
Linguine with cheese and black pepper is an Italian classic and one of the fastest pasta recipes around. So simple, yet so tasty!
Low-Fat Strawberry Milkshakes
Simply swapping full-fat ice cream and milk for lower-fat versions makes these strawberry milkshakes a totally guilt-free treat.
Muffins That Won’t Give You Muffin Top
Love muffins but hate refined sugars and grains? This wholesome recipe is made with whole grains and sweetened with applesauce and a touch of brown sugar.
Homemade Butterscotch Sauce
This glossy, buttery sauce is delicious spooned over vanilla ice cream or caramelized bananas. And because it’s made from scratch there are no hidden preservatives.
Open-Faced Roast Beef and Pesto Sandwich
Making pesto is the hardest part of this tasty roast beef sandwich—and you can even substitute store-bought pesto if you’re really short on time.
Cured Salmon
Really great cured salmon can go for $20 a pound or more, so why not make it yourself? This tender, tasty salmon, based on the classic Scandinavian gravlax, is coated in sugar, salt and herbs and cures in the fridge for 24 hours.
Strawberry Orange Granita
Cool off with a refreshing treat that won’t wreck your waistline like most frozen confections. The sweetness from the fresh strawberries means you only need a little bit of sugar in this icy treat.
Shrimp, Grapefruit and Avocado Salad
Pre-cooked shrimp make this light and fresh salad a snap to make. To save time on peeling and segmenting the grapefruit, look for pre-cut, jarred grapefruit in your grocery store’s produce section.
Mediterranean Tuna Salad Wrap
Wrap sandwiches, no matter the filling, are a quick and tasty dinner. This version is a healthy, vegetable-packed tuna salad with capers and fresh herbs.
Make It From Scratch - Hot Fudge Sauce
There’s nothing better than rich, molten chocolate spooned over ice cream, but most store-bought hot fudge is heavy on the high-fructose corn syrup and skimpy on actual chocolate, which this recipe has in abundance. For a zippy holiday treat, add a 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint extract.
Lavender Panna Cotta with Poached Rhubarb
Tart and tangy rhubarb is the perfect counterpart to this creamy custard.
Balthazar Salad
When we set out to devise a house salad that would reflect the restaurant, we decided to incorporate an ingredient for every letter in the word Balthazar. The Balthazar Salad was a hit, but we still don’t generally recommend designing food through word-play. Click here for the recipe!
Radish-Scallion Butter
This pungent spread of radishes, scallions and butter is an excellent topper for crackers or toasted baguette slices.
Fava Bean Dip
This dip recipe calls for dried fava beans, but since they are in season, why not substitute fresh? Or if the thought of all that peeling and shelling turns you off, look for pre-peeled favas in the freezer section of your grocery store.
