These chicken teriyaki meatballs, a riff on a Real Simple Magazine recipe, are made from tender ground chicken mixed with ginger, garlic and chives. They are poached in a homemade teriyaki sauce and finished with crunchy snow peas and shelled edamame. It’s all served over rice for healthy meal your whole family will adore!
Rather than the typical pork-and-beef mix, these meatballs go to a whole different level with ground chicken for a lighter bite that lets the nuances of the ginger, garlic and crunchy vegetables show through.
Pro Tip: This recipe works equally well with ground chicken or turkey. Whichever meat you use, keep it from sticking to your fingers by wetting your hands before forming the meatballs. To keep the meatballs from sticking to the pan, make sure the pot reads “hot” before adding the meatballs.

Roast a chicken and you know you have a comfortable meal. Alter that a little by butterflying the chicken, a surprisingly simple task that can be carried out with a pair of kitchen scissors, and you have a quick dinner that carries with it the casual air of barbecue, without the bother. Here, buttermilk, which is usually associated with fried chicken, helps to tenderize the chicken and conveys the aromatics: you really get the full value of the rosemary, pepper and garlic. If you want to substitute maple syrup for the honey, you can. Best of all, you can leave the marinating bird in the fridge for up to two days; thus, it gets more tender and you know you have a dinner that needs no more than to be popped into the oven.

This dish is pretty straightforward, but you’ll need to devote about an hour of cooking time. As the squash softens and the sausage browns, you can think of the kind of sauce you want to finish it with. I make a quick pan sauce with butter and lemon juice that I swirl and partially emulsify. It enriches the relatively lean sausage and squash but also brightens it. Lemon juice is just a suggestion; Sherry or red wine vinegar would be tasty. If you have a small shallot or more oregano lying around, you can chop it and cook it into the butter.
Some sauteed greens like spinach or tatsoi can really round this out if you need something green, but it’s not necessary.

There are hundreds of recipes for Buffalo wings, ranging from hot to sweet to savory and every flavor and ethnic variation in between. My version gives a nod to the original by using Frank's hot sauce, but I turn up the heat and flavor with Sriracha and pomegranate molasses.
Instead of deep-frying wings the traditional way, I think they're just as crispy and tender baked, and it's much easier to do. The trick is to brine the wings beforehand to lock in moisture. Customer demand for these wings reaches a fever pitch during football season. Now, when a big game is on TV, sports fans can make their own wings at home. Keep warm in a chafing dish or serve at room temperature with Tzatziki or Ranch Dressing. The wings need to refrigerate for an hour before baking, so plan accordingly.
In our kids' daily schedule of school, sports, and other extracurricular activities, parents just don't have the time to get creative and think about what we are going to serve to our kids that is healthy and tasty.

This chili has won my readers more contests than I can count at this point. It is the role model for all chilis around and I wouldn't dare state such a thing unless it was completely true. Oh, and if you to leave out the beans, go for it (but it's most definitely chili with OR without beans).
