Pantry Ingredients: Extra-virgin olive oil, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, dried oregano, tahini, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, honey, red-pepper flakes, sesame seeds, honey, vegetable oil, peanut oil, rice wine vinegar, sriracha

In case you were wondering, this dish is paleo-friendly and gluten-, dairy- and grain-free. But if you ask us, it was love at lemon-tahini drizzle.

Love cooking but hate doing dishes? (Join the club.) Introducing your dream dinner: baked sesame-ginger salmon and zucchini in parchment. It’s a complete meal that’s ready in 30 minutes, no pots or pans required.

Traditionally, you’d cook the pasta and sauce in at least two different pans, but in this 35-minute recipe, everything comes together in a single pot. Better yet, the unusual method makes for the creamiest results imaginable.

This here is a simple adaptation of one of our favorite Chinese-American dishes. Zero special ingredients, less than 230 calories per serving and very few dirty dishes make this an instant Thursday-night hit.

Some nights, we’ve got our chef’s hat on and we feel like spending two hours in the kitchen. Others (well, most nights), we’d rather whip something up in less than 30 and use the rest of our time to catch up on Love Island. The best part (beyond having just one pot to clean)? Once you’ve mastered this version, you can customize the recipe to your heart’s content.

Chances are, you’ve eaten a few sad, soggy veggie pizzas in your day (that invariably had way too many black olives). But this cheater’s vegetarian pizza with zucchini and bell peppers starts with store-bought seeded flatbread, which remains crisp underneath a pile of thinly shaved veggies. 

Your favorite Thai takeout joint makes it look so simple. But have you ever tried to make pad thai at home? It’s not exactly easy. (Not to mention the special trip you have to make to the international grocery store for fish sauce.) This time, try this 15-minute cheater’s version instead.
