Super Bowl
Tequila, Beer, and Citrus Cocktail
The holiday cocktail that takes you straight to the beach (and isn’t that where you want to be anyway?).
Healthyish Pan Pizza
In this pizza, which is reminiscent of a Sicilian pie, the dough is enriched with whole-wheat or rye flour, then topped with a thin layer of anchovy-spiked tomato sauce (skip the fish, if you wish), and once it comes out of the oven, grated Parmesan and a mountain of greens. You have several pan options: For the thinnest crust with the crispiest bottom and edges, use a 13x9" rimmed baking sheet. If you don’t have one, you can also use a 10" or 12" cast-iron skillet: Your dough will be a bit thicker, more pillowy, and not as crisp. Or you can also easily double the recipe and use an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet. Just make sure to plan ahead: This dough needs to rise in the fridge for at least 12 hours.
Ranch Fun Dip
Guaranteed to make any raw vegetable taste good.
Turkey and Bean Chili
Yes, turkey is a relatively lean protein, but when you pair it with white beans, a robust and concentrated chile purée, and simmer it for a short period of time, it delivers major body and richness.
Chocolate Date-Caramel Cups
Assembling these dessert cups in muffin tin liners (just the liners!) helps speed up the process and ensure the sticky date caramel doesn’t get out of hand.
Salty-Sweet Party Mix
Whether you prefer the buttery richness of classic party mix, or you’re on the sugarcoated puppy chow team, this recipe has you covered.
Spinach and Feta Tarte Soleil
The most impressive appetizer to “casually” pull out of the oven when your friends come over (and it also happens to make a nice Thanksgiving snack for while the turkey rests—just sayin').
Sticky-Sweet Five-Spice Pork Ribs
Lacquered with a tangy, garlicky hoisin glaze, these ribs are impressive without being burdensome: There's no grilling or marinating—just two hours in the oven followed by a quick broil.
Big Ass Beach Hoagie
Your answer to the age-old question "What can I make ahead of time and throw in my bag to feed myself (and, okay, my friends) when we finally make it to the beach/park/festival/fireworks?"
Stovetop Spinach-Artichoke Dip
Serving this creamy, delicious dip in a bread bowl is not mandatory, but we highly recommended going for it.
Basically Buffalo Wings
Want crispy-spicy chicken wings without having to deep-fry at home? We got you.
Chile Chicken Nachos
Guarantee there’s always a hot, melty batch ready for your guests with this nacho construction strategy.
Pimento Cheese Crackers
The highly addictive, melt-in-your-mouth cheddar cracker is all grown up thanks to a little heat from the cayenne and a hint of sweet pepper from the pimento.
Tandoori Chicken Wings
The yogurt tenderizes the chicken as it sits, so the further in advance you make it, the better!
Slow-Roasted Onion Dip
Like the one you make with the packet of soup mix, but with no weird chemicals and 1,000 percent tastier.
Instant Pot Glazed and Grilled Ribs
Tender, succulent ribs that spent 9 minutes under pressure and then hit the grill. Weeknight ribs are in your future.
Easy Vegetarian Calzones
Starting with store-bought pizza dough makes the dream of weeknight calzones actually attainable.
Sausage, Peppers, and Onions Subs
Ain't no party like a sandwich party.
Slow-Cooker Roast Pork Sandwiches
This slow-cooker version of the Philly classic has all the makings of a great sandwich: sharp provolone, garlicky broccoli rabe, and lots of jus from the pork for dipping.
Pretzel Bites
These pretzel nubbins are crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.
