Oklahoma Onion Burgers
Homer Davis and his son Ross invented what he called the Depression burger at the Hamburger Inn in El Reno, Okla., as a means to add inexpensive bulk to their burgers. Rather than toasting, the buns are steamed in onion-scented vapor. That the technique — cooking the patties smashed-style with a huge amount of thinly shaved onions and steaming the buns — and restaurant remain popular to this day is a testament to the burgers’ deliciousness. If you prefer, you can take the cooking (and the accompanying lingering onion aroma) completely out of the house by heating the skillet or griddle directly over a very hot grill and cooking outdoors (see Tip).
Pasta Salad
This pasta salad has everything you could want in the bowl: loads of ripe tomatoes, chunks of mozzarella, sliced olives, salami and plenty of fresh green herbs, all tossed in a garlicky, oregano-spiked red wine vinaigrette. Serve it the same day it’s made for the brightest flavor and best texture.
French Toast
The best French toast feels like dessert, crackling and crisp on the outsides with pudding-soft centers. You get that effect quickly with this easy French toast recipe or you can take your time with Overnight French Toast, which tastes like bread pudding. Even though this version is fast enough for a weekday breakfast, it’s special enough for weekend brunch. Keys to This Recipe How to Make French Toast: Fully soak bread in an egg-milk mixture, then cook the slices over moderate heat, so the insides cook through without the outsides burning. If the bread starts to brown too quickly, turn down the heat. French Toast Without Dairy Milk: If you don’t want to use cow’s milk, you can substitute the same amount of almond or other nut milk or coconut milk (not coconut cream). Because oat milk is thicker, it isn’t as readily absorbed by bread. The Best Bread for French Toast: The formula below was designed for regular sliced sandwich bread, but works with any type of bread (either one thick slice or two thin ones). Rich and tender challah and brioche make for a sweeter breakfast, while sourdough and other crusty country-style loaves give the dish a nice chew and savory complexity. How to Make French Toast Ahead: If preparing French toast in batches, slices can be kept warm in a 200-degree oven on a baking sheet or wire rack set in a baking sheet. The Best Pan for Making French Toast: Wirecutter tested 25 options over many years to recommend the best nonstick skillets.

Roasted carrots, simmered carrots, and carrot juice bring forth sweetness.
Lemon Ricotta Pancakes
This quick batter cooks into the most tender pancakes for the most comforting breakfast. Milky ricotta and butter, along with tangy buttermilk, lend a soft, sweet creaminess, and well-beaten eggs keep them fluffy and light. Lemon- and vanilla-scented sugar makes the pancakes sweet enough to eat on their own, but they’re fun to serve with blueberry syrup or your favorite toppings. If you prefer soufflé-like pancakes, separate the whites from the yolks and beat them to stiff peaks. Mix the yolks in with the wet ingredients, fold the whipped whites in after the dry ingredients are incorporated and cook as directed below. (Watch the video of Genevieve Ko making lemon ricotta pancakes here.)
Four-Cheese French Bread Pizza
Each cheese plays a special role in this French bread pizza: A combination of Parmesan and pecorino makes it especially nutty and salty; mozzarella melts evenly and a sharper deli-style provolone bridges the gap between them. Once you learn how to make the classic white sauce (technically a Mornay, which is a béchamel with cheese added), you’ll find dozens of ways to use it beyond pizza: Swap in an equal amount of grated Cheddar and toss it with pasta for an easy stovetop mac and cheese, or use Gruyère, slather the sauce over ham on toast, and broil until bubbly and browned. The sauce can be made up to 3 days ahead of time; store tightly covered in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Butternut Squash Purée

Roasted Frozen Sweet Potatoes With Whipped Crème Fraîche and Granola
Inspired by pumpkin pie, this recipe features sweet and silky sweet potatoes with a topping of tangy whipped cream and crispy granola.
Classic Apple Pie
In this very classic, cinnamon-scented pie, the apples are sautéed in butter before they’re piled in the crust, ensuring that they’re tender but not mushy. Use firm, crisp apples here, preferably all one kind so the slices cook evenly. Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious, Ginger Gold and Granny Smith apples are good options. (Honeycrisps will give you the sweetest pie, while Granny Smiths the most tart.) If using a glass or ceramic pie pan, consider parbaking the bottom crust. Glass doesn’t conduct heat as well as metal, so the crust may not cook through if you don’t parbake.
Garlic Stock
A supremely savory vegetable stock that only needs one ingredient. And yes, that ingredient is garlic—two whole heads of it.

Chickpea Salad Sandwich
This quick recipe makes simple canned chickpeas into a bold and hearty vegetarian meal. Chickpeas are mashed in a creamy, rich lemon-tahini dressing, then mixed with crunchy celery and scallions for fresh bite. Earthy alfalfa sprouts, crisp lettuce, creamy avocado and sweet tomatoes bring contrasting textures and flavors to the sandwich. The chickpea salad can be made a few hours ahead and kept refrigerated. Any leftover salad makes a tasty dip served with tortilla chips or crackers. For a vegan alternative, omit the cheese for sandwiches that still boast layers of flavor.

Basic White Rice
How to use a fixed ratio of long-grain rice to water to make basic steamed white rice.
Salted Margarita Bars
This edible cocktail is an ideal party dessert, mingling all the fun of a margarita — and its salted rim — with the efficiency of a slab pie. Key lime pie’s boozier, saltier cousin, it comes together quickly and maintains its consistency when frozen, making it a great make-ahead treat for a barbecue or a trip to the beach. Any tequila will work, but blanco is preferred for its milder taste. Don’t make the curd more than 10 minutes in advance, as the lime juice will start to thicken it, which could affect the bake.
