Hazelnut-Cornmeal Pancakes

"These are a delicious treat and are excellent reheated. I prepped the hazelnuts a few days ahead of time so the pancakes came together very easily in the morning. I toasted the hazelnuts on the stovetop then removed the skins by placing them on a dish towel and rolling them on the counter." —JBlair

Peanut Butter–Banana Bread

"This was a great recipe, esp. since it utilizes the delicious combination of bananas and peanut butter—I would definitely make it again. I used walnuts instead of peanuts and love the addition of the simple peanut butter glaze, which sets this apart from other recipes. Simple to make & less guilt than regular banana bread!" —Megan

Bourbon-Glazed Salmon

Credit: Caitlin Bensel; Food Styling: Chelsea Zimmer; Prop Styling: Kay Clarke

"This is hands down one of my most favorite recipes. It's simply amazing. Serve it with the parmesan orzo like the menu idea suggests. It's a complete knock-out. Make sure to line the broiler with aluminum foil though as it does leave a bit of a sticky mess behind." —smarty
